SAVITRI DEVI MEMORIAL COLLEGE OF MANAGEMENT News & Updates 2025: Notifications, Notice, Result

CMAT 2026 Exam Date: National Testing Agency has announced CMAT 2026 Exam Date today, December 5. According to the dates released, the examination will be held on January 25 in online mode. All details related to the examination will be made available at cmat.nta.nic.in. The examination will be conducted for 3 hours. Within these 3 hours, candidates will be required to answer 100 questions, 20 from Quantitative Techniques and Data Interpretation, 20 from Logical Reasoning, 20 from Language Comprehension, 20 from General Awareness, and 20 from Innovation and Entrepreneurship. For every right answer, candidates will get 4 marks, and 1 mark will be deducted for wrong answers. 

XAT 2026 final 30 Day study plan and strategy to crack the exam might sound over ambitious at first, where even unattempted questions more than 8 in Part 1 can cause you to lose 0.10 mark per question. Trick passages, complex data sets, decision-making sections, and more can challenge even the best of students. However, when you plan out each day with intent, it’s not impossible to clear XAT in 30 days' preparation. The first 15 days should focus on core concepts, vocabulary and sectional understanding, while the remaining days go into mock practice, speed drills and revision.

The category-wise IIM Jammu CAT 2025 overall cutoff percentile for preliminary shortlisting is 95 for the general category, 81 for the EWS and OBC categories, 66 for the SC category and 42 for the ST and PwD categories. The cutoff pattern this year is very similar to that of the previous year. Students will have to secure the minimum cutoff percentile in overall as well as each section in the CAT exam individually to qualify for the WAT-PI round. Interestingly, students who secure a little below the specified cutoff percentile also stand a chance to seek admission on the grounds of gender diversity (reserved for female candidates) and a non-engineering background.

IIM Amritsar CAT 2025 expected cutoff percentile for preliminary shortlisting is expected to be uniform for this year, as per the past trends. Moreover, based on previous trends, the cutoff can range from 80 for General, 80 for EWS, 65 for NC-OBC, 55 for SC, 35 for ST, and 35 for PwD. The cutoff is determined based on a composite score that includes CAT section-wise scores, academic performance, work experience, and diversity factors.
