The National Testing Agency has activated the crucial application correction facility for the Common Management Admission Test 2026, providing candidates with a final opportunity to rectify errors in their submitted forms.
CMAT 2026 Correction Window Timeline
The correction window becomes available starting today, November 26, 2025, and will remain accessible until November 28, 2025. This development follows the recent conclusion of the CMAT 2026 registration process, which closed on November 24, 2025, after receiving an extension from the original November 17 deadline.
Prospective test-takers who identified mistakes in their originally submitted applications can now make necessary amendments through the official portal at cmat.nta.nic.in. The NTA had previously provided candidates with additional time to complete their online application formalities, requiring them to fill out the form, process the prescribed fees, and securely download their confirmation pages.
Application Fee Structure and Payment Details
The fee framework for CMAT 2026 maintains distinct categories. General male applicants must pay ₹2,500, while significantly reduced fees apply to other categories. General female candidates, General-EWS, SC, ST, PwD/PwBD, OBC-NCL, and third-gender applicants are required to pay ₹1,250.
All financial transactions must be completed exclusively through online payment methods. The agency had set the final deadline for successful fee transactions as November 25, 2025.
Step-by-Step Correction Process
Candidates seeking to modify their application details should follow this systematic approach:
- Navigate to the official CMAT website at cmat.nta.nic.in
- Locate and click the registration link displayed on the homepage
- Input your login credentials and proceed
- Access your application form once logged into the system
- Carefully review all information and implement necessary corrections
- Submit the updated application form
- Download the revised confirmation page
- Maintain a physical copy for future reference and documentation
Revised CMAT 2026 Schedule and Exam Pattern
The testing agency has implemented several adjustments to the original timeline. The online application submission period, initially scheduled from October 17 to November 17, 2025, was extended until November 24, 2025. Similarly, the correction window originally planned for November 20-21 has been rescheduled to November 26-28.
Regarding examination structure, CMAT 2026 will feature 100 questions carrying a total of 400 marks. The test will be conducted exclusively in English and will employ a comprehensive scoring system where correct answers earn 4 marks each, while incorrect responses result in a 1-mark deduction. Unattempted questions will not affect the score.
The National Testing Agency will administer CMAT 2026 as a three-hour computer-based test evaluating candidates across five critical domains: Quantitative Technique and Data Interpretation, Logical Reasoning, Language Comprehension, General Awareness, and Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The resulting scores will determine admissions to management programs for the 2026-27 academic year.
Prospective candidates should note that the NTA has not yet announced the specific examination dates for CMAT 2026. Regular monitoring of the official website is strongly recommended for receiving timely updates and additional instructions regarding the examination schedule.
