CMAT 2020

CMAT 2020 is a golden opportunity for all the students who have been planning to join middle-level management colleges in India. The exam will be conducted on 28 January 2020. National Testing Agency is going to conduct this exam. The exam will be of 180 minutes carrying 25 questions from 4 sections i.e. Quantitative Aptitude & DI, Logical Reasoning, Verbal Ability & General Awareness. Each correct answer will fetch +4 marks while a wrong answer will be penalized with -1 mark.

For Quantitative Aptitude a candidate will be tested on Arithmetic, Number System, Algebra, Geometry & Modern Maths, though the highest weightage will be given to Percentage, “Profit, loss &  Discount”, “Times, Speed & Distance”. Mensuration can be deciding factor. Along this there are 2 to 3 sets expected in Data Interpretation.

Logical Reasoning will be of moderate level consisting of Sitting Arrangement, Blood Relation, Series, Analogy, Directions, Assertion & Conclusion. Along with these topics, there can be few questions from non-verbal reasoning as well.

General Knowledge will cover most of the questions from last one-year current affairs, like polity, games, books & authors, Government projects, Fiscal & Monetary policy. Though it is expected that few questions will be asked from Static GK as well as History, Geography & Law based questions.

English sections will have maximum questions from Reading Comprehension. RC questions are usually direct but 2 to 3 questions can be inference based like CAT 2019 exam. There will be few direct questions like Antonym & Synonym; Grammar-based questions & odd one out expected on 28 January 2020.

As the duration of the exam is for 3 hours so students are expected to get at least 60% of the questions correct from all the sections, though colleges under this examination are not looking into section-wise cut-offs it is expected from a student to get at least 40% score in each section so that it would be easy for a student to justify his score during the Personal Interview.

We are soon going to publish B-School ranking with the detailed analysis of the colleges under CMAT 2020.

All the very best for your preparation. Keep tracking our blogs for the latest updates.
