The AICTE – Admission to CMAT and GPAT Entrance Test 2018 is a national-level computer-based examination for students seeking admission to postgraduate management and pharmacy programs in AICTE-approved institutions. Conducted by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), the CMAT and GPAT tests provide a single platform for admissions. The exams are held over two consecutive days, offering candidates the opportunity to qualify for programs in management and pharmacy across approved institutions in India.

The CMAT and GPAT entrance tests are open to Indian nationals who have completed their undergraduate degree in the relevant field. For management programs, candidates must hold a bachelor’s degree in any discipline, while pharmacy programs require a B.Pharm degree. There are no income or category-based restrictions for appearing in these tests. However, candidates must meet the minimum qualifying marks as specified by AICTE for their respective programs.

Candidates must register online through the official AICTE portal for CMAT and GPAT. The registration process includes filling in personal and academic details, uploading required documents, and paying the application fee through available online modes. After successful registration, candidates receive an admit card which must be presented at the designated test center on the scheduled dates. Detailed instructions for registration, fee payment, and test center selection are provided on the official websites for CMAT and GPAT.
