The last date to apply for admission to Great Lakes, IMT, BIMTECH, IFMR, K J Somaiya who accept CMAT scores is open for next few days
CMAT 2017 results are expected to be declared on 10th February 2017 on the website www.aicte-cmat.in - AICTE

AICTE proposes to declare the CMAT 2017 exam result on February 10, 2017. It will decide the fate of 60000 candidates who appeared in CMAT 2017 on January 28 and competed for admission to top MBA colleges accepting CMAT scores for admission to 2017-19 batch.

Responding to the query ‘Within how many days can I expect the results?’ AICTE has confirmed “CMAT 2017 results are expected to be declared on 10th February 2017 on the website www.aicte-cmat.in”.

Going by the past trends it is expected that CMAT 2017 result may be declared a day or two before the pre-announced date of February 10. Last year CMAT result was declared in 5 days from the date of conducting the exam. For CMAT 2017, AICTE has tried to keep around 2 weeks of time gap between the date of the CMAT exam which was held on January 28 and the CMAT result date which is proposed to be declared on February 10, 2017.  Apart from this AICTE has tried to play it safe in terms of conducting the CMAT 2017 exam on January 28 and also keeping January 29 as a reserve day in case of any technical glitch calls for re-testing of CMAT.

Competition in CMAT 2017 is expected to remain as high as it was in the previous CMAT exams. The CMAT 2017 exam analysis reveals that the test was a bit easier than last year and many candidates would score high marks leading to high percentile also in the exam.

After CMAT there is no important All India entrance test for admission 2017 to the management institutes. There are 400+ good B schools that accept CMAT scores in India. CMAT serves as a good chance for the MBA aspirants who couldn’t fare so well in CAT 2016 and XAT 2017 to find a very good management institute like BIMTECH, GIM Goa, Great Lakes, IFMR, IMT Hyderabad, IMT Nagpur, K J Somaiya, SIMSREE among others. Interestingly, admission to MBA/PGDM in a few of the top MBA colleges is still open till next 2-3 days and you can explore admission opportunity in them. Delaying the application submission may bring disappointment at a later stage.
