CMAT 2024 Score Required for Top Colleges

While CMAT scores can be used for admission to some of the top B-Schools in India, the CMAT cutoff percentile for these schools is usually above the 95 percentile. Even if a candidate gets a 90+ or 80+ percentile in the CMAT exams, admission to the top management colleges cannot be guaranteed as intense competition for MBA seats in India increases the actual CMAT score required for admission to over 99 percentile in many cases. Many students also switch to Executive MBA in such cases.

Candidates interested in getting into these colleges must have a clear idea of the MBA admission process and selection criteria followed by these colleges to ensure that they can take proper leverage of their overall profile.

Low CMAT 2024 Score

Not every person taking the CMAT exam can land in the top percentile. While there are many resources, such as CMAT previous year question papers , CMAT Mock Tests , CMAT Exam Analysis , etc. that aspirants can use to improve their performance in the exam, some factors may come in the way of a student being able to achieve a good score in the CMAT exam. Such candidates may find it hard to get admission into an MBA course.

The good news for these aspirants is that there are many MBA colleges in India where aspirants can expect to get admission even if they get a low score on the CMAT exam. The CMAT cutoff for these colleges is also quite low, ranging from 40 - 60 percentile and some colleges accept even lower scores for admission to their MBA course.

In this article, we provide the list of colleges accepting a low CMAT percentile for MBA admissions. Candidates can use this list to plan their admission and have an idea of which college to apply to so that they can be sure of getting admission.
