About KMAT 2019
Kerala Management Admission Test is conducted for two times a year. The first is in February and the second exam is conducted in June. Candidates, who could not score well in February, can take up the improvement examination in June along with other candidates freshly applying for the June examination. Even though they have taken February exam, candidates planning to take up June Exam again will have to apply separately. In addition to KMAT, management colleges in Kerala also consider CAT and CMAT scores for admission of students to the MBA course. However, MAT Score is not considered valid by B-Schools in Kerala. So, if a candidate has MAT Score, he/she will have to take up KMAT. If he/she has a CAT/CMAT score, there is no need to take up KMAT. They can apply to management colleges in Kerala with their CAT/CMAT Score.
