Why is this exam important?

XAT exam was held on 3^rd January 2016 and CMAT is on the 17^th of January, 2016. Hardly any time is left to prepare for CMAT, especially for the General Knowledge section. At the same time, CAT results will be out anytime. In case you are confident of getting a high percentile in XAT/CAT, you can choose to skip CMAT.

But you can never be sure always. If you get a lesser percentile and you’re not selected for the short listing process at any of the IIM’s, you should definitely target CMAT.

Therefore, you must try and avoid taking a risk with your career and be on the safe side. This can be done by focusing on the topics that you are weak on. Also, keep a tab on the current affairs as it could help you crack the General Knowledge questions.

CMAT exam could allow you to get into some of the top b-schools in the country. More than 400 b-schools accept CMAT scores. Even b-schools providing a PGDM course would accept the scores. And this time since it will be conducted only once a year, you have only one chance to give your best shot.
