In a significant relief for thousands of MBA aspirants, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially announced the extension of the New CMAT 2026 registration date.

If you were among the many waiting for a second chance, this is your final opportunity to apply for the Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) and secure your gateway to over 1,000 AICTE-approved B-Schools across India.

Key Takeaway: The hard deadline for application submission is now 24 November 2025.

The decision to extend the deadline came after numerous requests from students. Aspirants often face multiple hurdles near the deadline, including:
● Document Delays: Needing more time to arrange final year mark sheets or other academic documents.
● Semester Exams: Colleges conducting semester or final exams, diverting the focus of final-year students.
● Technical Issues: Reports of slow NTA portal response or payment failures close to the original deadline.
The extension ensures equal opportunity for all CMAT 2026 aspirants to apply without stress.
