MBA Admissions in Kerala colleges will be based on CMAT score from coming academic year (2013). The B-schools in the state will admit students based on their Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) score. The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) conducts this entrance examination in Kerala. AICTE approves management schools in the country and entry to these colleges will be on clearing the CMAT. Students with CMAT scores can enroll in management colleges approved by AICTE.
Until now, MBA colleges in Kerala were admitting students based on CAT scores or Management Aptitude Test scores. Students appeared for multiple management entrance exams to be enrolled in the B-schools of the state. With the introduction of CMAT and applicability of CMAT scores, MBA aspirants just need to sit in a single test. This will save money and time.

MBA education is serious business in India with more than 4,300 management schools listed in the country with about 3,700 institutes providing MBA programs. Kerala has around 60 business schools fulfilling more than 7,000 students MBA aspirations. The complete merit list of CMAT will be given to state governments. The scores will be utilized during admissions to AICTE-approved university departments or institutes.  

Students who are interested in management education can register online by logging on the AICTE web portal from 1 November 2012 to 2 January 2013. The CMAT is a computer-based test and duration is 3 hours. It is scheduled in February 2013. Sections include Logical Reasoning, Quantitative Techniques & Data Interpretation, Language Comprehension and General Awareness.
