CMAT 2024 Exam Date Not Announced
Another factor that may lead to second extension of CMAT Registration last date is that NTA has not announced CMAT exam date yet. NTA has only said that the CMAT exam will be held in May 2024. Now that May is just a week away, is NTA really prepared to hold the exam.
No announcement of CMAT Exam date has caused confusion among both B-schools and MBA Aspirants. Many top B-schools like Great Lakes Chennai and Goa Institute of Management have decided not to allow CMAT test takers to participate in their admission process as it will delay their admission process further.
