National Testing Agency (NTA) has postponed the examination date of Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) 2021. It is postponed because the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has proposed a change in the pattern of the question paper.
The updated exam pattern will have an additional section on innovation and entrepreneurship, which will be optional. This section will comprise 25 questions.
The official notice by NTA reads, “CMAT-2021 Entrance Examination has been postponed, as AICTE has now proposed change in the examination pattern having an additional (optional) section for the Entrance Examination to be held in 2021 for candidates interested in Innovation and Entrepreneurship.”
Earlier, this exam was scheduled for 22 February, which will now be conducted in the last week of March or early April 2021.
NTA has also extended the last date of registration for CMAT 2021. Candidates who couldn’t apply earlier can do it now.
