The Common Admission Retail Test (CART) is a national-level scholarship and entrance exam for Indian students seeking admission to the Retailers Association of India’s Postgraduate Program in Retail Management (PGPRM). Conducted annually, CART assesses candidates on Quantitative Aptitude, Logical Reasoning, and Consumer Comprehension to evaluate their suitability for retail management education. The test is held across multiple centers in India, providing a standardized platform for admission to 17 affiliated institutes offering the PGPRM program.
