As of 18 September 2026, the detailed CMAT 2027 notification has not been released by the National Testing Agency (NTA). NTA’s 16 September 2026 examination calendar has proposed 7 February 2027 for CMAT, but this date is tentative, not final. CMAT 2027 registration has not opened, and no application link is live yet. Candidates should monitor the official CMAT portal and NTA notices for the actual notification.
Is the CMAT 2027 Notification Out? Current Status
No. As of 18 September 2026, NTA has not released the detailed CMAT 2027 examination-specific notification or the CMAT 2027 Information Bulletin. The official CMAT portal, cmat.nta.nic.in, still primarily displays CMAT 2026 material, and there is no CMAT 2027 application link on it yet.
On 16 September 2026, NTA published its examination calendar, which lists tentative dates for various national-level tests up to March 2027, including CMAT. This calendar is a scheduling document, not the CMAT 2027 notification. The actual notification — which will contain the confirmed exam date, eligibility, fee structure and application timeline — is expected to follow as a separate release, along with the CMAT 2027 Information Bulletin.
Until that notification is published, any date, fee or eligibility figure related to CMAT 2027 should be treated as unconfirmed.
CMAT 2027 Exam Date: What NTA Has Actually Announced
What Is the NTA Examination Calendar?
The NTA examination calendar is a forward-planning document that lists proposed dates for NTA-conducted examinations over a defined period — in this case, up to March 2027. It helps candidates plan broadly but is explicitly described by NTA as tentative and subject to change. It does not carry the detailed rules, eligibility criteria, fee structure or application schedule that a subject-specific notification or Information Bulletin would contain.
Is 7 February 2027 Confirmed or Tentative?
7 February 2027 is tentative. NTA has proposed this date for CMAT in its 16 September 2026 examination calendar, but it has not been confirmed through a CMAT 2027-specific notification. NTA reserves the right to revise calendar dates before the formal notification is issued.
CMAT 2027 Registration: Status and Expected Window
Has CMAT 2027 Registration Started?
No. As of 18 September 2026, CMAT 2027 registration has not opened. The CMAT portal does not currently show a CMAT 2027 application form, and NTA has not announced a registration start date.
When Might CMAT 2027 Registration Open?
NTA has not announced a CMAT 2027 registration date. Based on the two most recent January-cycle examinations — CMAT 2025 and CMAT 2026 — registration may open sometime between late October and late November 2026, working backward from the tentative 7 February 2027 exam date. This is an evidence-based expectation, not an NTA announcement.
| Cycle | Registration Opened | Exam Date | Lead Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| CMAT 2025 | 14 November 2024 | 25 January 2025 | 72 days |
| CMAT 2026 | 17 October 2025 | 25 January 2026 | 100 days |
Applying this 72–100 day range to a 7 February 2027 exam date suggests a possible registration-opening window of approximately 30 October to 27 November 2026. This range is an evidence-based expectation — not announced by NTA — and should not be treated as a scheduling commitment.
CMAT 2027 Important Dates: Confirmed vs Expected
Table A — Official / Current Status
| Event | CMAT 2027 Status | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Detailed CMAT 2027 notification | NOT YET ANNOUNCED | Not released as of 18 September 2026 |
| CMAT 2027 registration opens | NOT YET ANNOUNCED | No date announced |
| CMAT 2027 registration closes (original) | NOT YET ANNOUNCED | No date announced |
| Correction window | NOT YET ANNOUNCED | No date announced |
| City intimation slip | NOT YET ANNOUNCED | No date announced |
| Admit card | NOT YET ANNOUNCED | No date announced |
| CMAT 2027 exam | TENTATIVE / PROPOSED BY NTA | 7 February 2027, per NTA’s 16 September 2026 calendar |
| Provisional answer key | NOT YET ANNOUNCED | No date announced |
| Result | NOT YET ANNOUNCED | No date announced |
Table B — Evidence-Based Expected Windows (Not Announced by NTA)
| Event | Expected Window | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Registration opening | 30 October–27 November 2026 | EVIDENCE-BASED EXPECTATION — NOT ANNOUNCED BY NTA |
| Registration closing (original) | 30 November–26 December 2026 | EVIDENCE-BASED EXPECTATION — NOT ANNOUNCED BY NTA |
| City intimation slip | 29–30 January 2027 | EVIDENCE-BASED EXPECTATION — NOT ANNOUNCED BY NTA |
| Admit card | 2–3 February 2027 | EVIDENCE-BASED EXPECTATION — NOT ANNOUNCED BY NTA |
| Result | 26 February–2 March 2027 | EVIDENCE-BASED EXPECTATION — NOT ANNOUNCED BY NTA |
These estimates are derived from CMAT 2025 and CMAT 2026, both January-cycle examinations, which are treated as the closest available precedent for a February 2027 exam. Older cycles — such as CMAT 2024, which was held in May — followed a different calendar position and are used only as background context, not as forecasting inputs of equal weight.
CMAT 2027 Application Form: Where and How to Apply

| Third gender | ₹1,250 |
Applicable processing charges or GST may apply depending on the payment method used, based on the CMAT 2026 cycle.
CMAT 2027 Correction Window: Can You Edit the Form?
A CMAT 2027 correction window has not been announced. In recent cycles, NTA has provided a short correction window shortly after the extended registration deadline — for example, 26–28 November 2025 in CMAT 2026 and 26–27 December 2024 in CMAT 2025. Certain fields have historically carried restrictions during this window, so candidates should always check the specific correction rules published in the CMAT 2027 Information Bulletin once it is available, rather than assuming any field can be freely edited.
CMAT City Intimation Slip vs Admit Card: What's the Difference?
The city intimation slip and the admit card are often confused, but they serve different purposes.
| Concept | What It Tells You | When Released (CMAT 2026 Reference) |
|---|---|---|
| City intimation slip | The city in which your examination centre will be located | Approximately 9 days before the exam |
| Admit card | The exact examination centre, roll number, reporting time and other instructions | Approximately 4–5 days before the exam |
For CMAT 2027, neither the city intimation slip nor the admit card date has been announced; the timings above are drawn from the CMAT 2025 and CMAT 2026 cycles and reflect an evidence-based expectation only.
CMAT 2027 Exam Pattern: Basic Orientation Only
CMAT 2027’s detailed exam pattern has not been confirmed through a 2027 Information Bulletin. The structure below reflects the latest official historical pattern.
| Feature | Latest Historical Detail |
|---|---|
| Mode | Computer-based test |
| Duration | 3 hours |
| Questions | 100 |
| Total marks | 400 |
| Sections | Quantitative Techniques & Data Interpretation, Logical Reasoning, Language Comprehension, General Awareness, Innovation & Entrepreneurship |
| Marking | +4 for a correct answer, −1 for an incorrect answer |
This is a factual orientation only. CMAT 2027’s confirmed pattern, if revised, will be specified in the CMAT 2027 Information Bulletin.
What Happens After CMAT? Answer Key, Result and Admissions
Provisional Answer Key and Challenge Process
In recent cycles, NTA released the provisional answer key about six days after the exam, followed by a challenge window during which candidates could raise objections. CMAT 2027’s answer-key schedule has not been announced; based on CMAT 2025 and CMAT 2026, a similar gap after the exam is an evidence-based expectation.
CMAT Result
Results followed the exam by 19 days in CMAT 2025 and 23 days in CMAT 2026. No CMAT 2027 result date has been announced, and any specific date should be treated as an estimate rather than a confirmed schedule.
What Happens After the Result?
NTA conducts the CMAT examination and declares the result, but it does not conduct centralised CMAT counselling. After the result, candidates apply separately to AICTE-approved and other participating institutions, each of which sets its own admission criteria and selection process. Admission procedures vary by institution and should be checked directly with each institute.
