CMAT 2021 Score Calculator in Demand
Every year, some or the other CMAT score calculator becomes available online. For example last year CrackU score calculator was very popular. In such a tool, candidates can login to CMAT website to get their copy attempts as a qp.html file, and then they can paste the qp.html file link in the score calculator. And automatically, the tool calculates score.
However this year, unfortunately no such tool seems to be available, yet.
Candidates can nevertheless calculate their scores in a raw manner – by using the marking scheme. The marks for correct answers is +4, and that for incorrect answer, leads to deduction of 1 mark due to negative marking.
