  • Registration Window Opens for CMAT – 2012.

    The registration Window for Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) – 2012 conducted by AICTE opens today, December 9, 2012 for online registration of candidates to appear in the computer based test to be organized from 20- 28 Feb 2012 in 61 cities.

    AICTE in its mission to reduce the burden of students in attending to multiple examinations, launches the first national level Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) – 2012 for facilitating institutions to select suitable students for admission in all management programs approved by AICTE for year 2012-13.

    The initiative is based on the relevant judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, to address the issue of physical, mental and financial stress being imposed on the students through number of entrance examinations being followed by the institutions for admission into all Management Programmes in AICTE approved institutions.

    The Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) – 2012 will be conducted online in 61 cities from 20th February to 28th February, 2012 and scores awarded will be used for admission in the post graduate management programs both at Degree & Diploma Level at national level for year 2012-13.

    The respective Secretaries of the state dealing with Technical Education and Vice chancellors of the universities have been requested to advise the competent authority for admissions in their respective States & Jurisdictions.

    The advice will be given on using the scores of CMAT-2012 for allotment of students in the AICTE approved management institutions for the academic year 2012-13 in line with the interim orders issued by the Supreme Court.

    A written petition for admission procedure for management programs in AICTE approved institutions for 2012-13 states that the interim orders will not come in the way of AICTE amending its regulations to introduce All India Entrance Examination of AICTE in place of State level examinations by the respective State Governments.

    The institutions and State governments are required to register online free of charge for opting to CMAT-2012 scores for admissions to academic year 2012-13. The minority institutions shall effect admissions as per the provision available for such categories.

  • B-school test baffles students, colleges.

    Students aspiring for admissions into business schools in the state are heading for a fresh trouble with the All-India Council for Technical Education beginning registration for its first computer-based Common Management Admission Test (Cmat-2012) from December 9. While the AICTE has announced that the online exams will be held from February 20 to 28 across 61 cities, including Hyderabad, the managements of B-schools say that they have not received any official communication from the AICTE about the new exam.

    While the new exam has caught B-schools and coaching institutes off-guard, MBA aspirants are not sure if they should register for it given that they don’t know which B-schools will be accepting the Cmat scores. The AICTE launched Cmat from this year to address the issue of physical, mental and financial stress on the students because of the number of entrance examinations.

    The national-level test will be conducted over nine days in two shifts. Cmat will be a computer-based test of three-hour duration. While the AICTE announced that Cmat scores will help students seek admissions into all management programmes (four lakh seats) in AICTE-approved institutions/university departments, the state government has already clarified that it will go ahead with its annual Integrated Common Entrance Test (Icet) for admissions into MBA colleges affiliated to state universities.

    The Associ-ation of Indian Mana-gement Schools (AIMS) made it clear that it will continue its AIMS Test for Management Admissions (ATMA) as usual. Majority of the B-schools in the state are part of AIMS. “The Cmat announced by AICTE is a computer-based test. Since 70 per cent of the students are from rural areas, it would be difficult for them to prepare for Cmat within a short period of time. There are several places in the state where there is no Internet connection. For that reason, we have decided to conduct our test ATMA as usual,” Prof Mohd Masood Ahmed, president of AIMS, said.

    However, MBA aspirants are worried over the fresh developments. They say instead of reducing the exams, various agencies have been imposing additional financial burden and causing mental stress by forcing them to appear for multiple tests. “We are already forced to appear for Icet, ATMA, XAT and MAT. Now the AICTE has added a new one in the form of Cmat. Instead of issuing Cmat notification in a hurry, the AICTE should have approached all the state governments and B-schools to convince them to scrap their tests and agree for a single test,” said Vikas Agarwal, an MBA aspirant.
