Candidates gear up for first CMAT and important dates of CMAT.
A majority of the 70,000 candidates who will appear for the
first common management aptitude test (CMAT), conducted by the All-India Council
of Technical Education (AICTE), from Mumbai, Pune and Jaipur. The online test for
admissions to management institutes across the country will be conducted over a
period of nine days from February 20 to 28. While most students have
picked up their own test dates for the entrance exam, the highest numbers have registered
for the weekend. About 7,500 candidates will take the test on February 25 and 8,000
on February 26, said AICTE chairman S.S. Mantha. He added that around 7,000 candidates
have registered for the first day as well. The tests will be conducted in shifts
across the nine-day period. Students will have to carry their photo identity card
along with their hall tickets. Mantha added that a majority of students appearing
for the tests are from Mumbai, Pune and Jaipur. Within a couple of months of AICTE
announcing the conduct of CMAT, book stalls in the city already had books that claimed
to be preparing students for the test.
A book stall owner near Church gate station claimed that copies of R. Gupta's popular
master guide for CMAT was sold out within days. However, Mantha said, Students should
not fall prey to such books. The council has not printed any books for CMAT and
neither has it prescribed any. The preparations should be similar to what students
do for other management entrance tests, including CAT. They should not get hassled
over the test pattern. The test will be conducted across 69 centres in the country.
One of the students, Rajesh Nair, said, There have been no problems so far in getting
the hall tickets. However, we have been asked to get our hall tickets attested since
all procedures were done online. The only curiosity now is to know the difficult
the test will be. According to Sai Kumar, TIME coaching institute, around 20% of
students who are appearing for CAT from their Mumbai centre have also opted for
CMAT. The numbers will be higher next year with the state scrapping the local CET,
he said.
