The Common Management Admission Test (CMAT 2025) results have been made public by the National Testing Agency (NTA) at exams.nta.ac.in/CMAT. Candidates can use their application number and birthdate to download their scorecards.
On January 25, the test was administered in two shifts at 178 testing sites and 107 cities. 63,145 of the 74,012 registered candidates took the Computer Based Test (CBT), resulting in an overall attendance rate of 85.32 percent.
Since the CMAT was administered in two shifts, the following approach was used to convert the raw scores of candidates from various shifts or sessions to the NTA score (percentile):
For the CMAT, the NTA score is equal to (100 x the number of candidates who showed up with a raw score that was the same as or lower than the candidate) ÷ (the total number of applicants that showed up that session).
Following the test, the CMAT question paper and answer key were made available by NTA. Candidates were also asked to submit any complaints they may have between January 31 and February 2 and their recorded answers were posted on the official website.
The final solution key was prepared using the challenges that candidates had submitted, which were validated by subject matter experts. The final answer key served as the basis for creating the result.
CMAT 2025 marking scheme
- Every question asked in the CMAT exam carries four marks.
- Four marks (+4) are awarded for every correct answer.
- One mark is deducted (-1) for every incorrect answer.
- No marks are awarded or deducted for unanswered or un-attempted questions.
- If multiple options are correct, those who have attempted the question correctly get full marks.
- If a question is dropped, all candidates get full marks.
CMAT 2025: Tie-breaking rule
If two or more candidates scored the same marks, ties were resolved in the following order.
- The students with the same score have been listed in chronological (ascending) order of dates of birth.
- Candidates with the same score have been given the same merit, and the merit number has been increased. This means if two candidates are at rank 2, then both have got rank 2, and rank 3 has not been awarded to the next candidate. Instead, s/he has got rank 4.
