Why This Extension Matters

Every year, thousands of students rush through the CMAT registration process. With this extension, NTA is clearly giving breathing space to those facing issues like payment failures, document uploading errors, or waiting for eligibility proof. It’s common for tech glitches or last-minute confusion to cost a seat in the exam — don’t let that happen this time.

What’s Next?

Once the application process closes, the NTA will open the correction window (November 26–28) where students can fix mistakes made in the form — like wrong spelling, incorrect category details, etc.

After that, exam dates and admit cards are expected to be released, likely by early December. Stay sharp and keep an eye on the notifications — an uninformed student is an unprepared one.

Final Reminder

If you're serious about pursuing an MBA, CMAT is one of the easier and more approachable exams compared to CAT or XAT, especially if you’re preparing with limited time or resources. Don’t let procrastination stop you. Get your registration done by November 24 — no excuses.
