The National Testing Agency (NTA) will soon release the admit cards for the Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) 2026. This is an important update for all students who have applied for this exam. The CMAT 2026 exam is set to take place on January 25, 2026 . Students should get ready to download their admit cards from the official NTA-CMAT website very soon.
CMAT is a national-level entrance examination. It helps students get admission into Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) programs offered by many colleges across India. The admit card is a very important document for this exam. It acts as your entry ticket to the examination hall.

Before releasing the admit cards, NTA usually issues a 'City Intimation Slip' for big exams. This slip tells you the city where your exam will be held. It helps students plan their travel in advance. However, NTA did not release CMAT city intimation slips last year. This means your admit card might be the first document to tell you your exact test centre location.
