National Testing Agency was expected to release the CMAT 2022 notification in the first week of January 2022. However, there is no update regarding the notification as of now. Every year, the notification is released at the designated time and month. However, this time, there is an unexpected delay in the release of the official notification. CMAT (Common Management Admission Test) is held annually to provide admission to candidates in leading MBA/PGDM courses on the basis of the marks scored in the examination.
Although, no one is aware of the exact reason candidates think that splurge in the pandemic cases is the foremost reason for this delay. However, all of these are mere speculations and the correct reason for this delay can only be answered by the concerned authorities. Hence, to help the candidates we called the helpline number of the agency today, check out the excerpts of the conversation in the space below:
Q: Hello! When will the NTA release the CMAT 2022 and GPAT 2022 notification?
A: There are no updates regarding the release of the official notification of CMAT or GPAT 2022 right now.
Q: Is there any tentative date for the release of the CMAT 2022 notification?
A: No, as of now there is no exact date but you can expect that the notification will be out in the upcoming days.
Based on this info, we can conclude that there is no exact date as of now but the agency has been working towards the exam and an update shall be soon shared. Meanwhile, the candidates are asked to stay calm and be connected to the official website of NTA CMAT for all the latest updates.
