    A CMAT score in the range of 95–99+ percentile, or roughly 315–350 raw marks, is sufficient to gain admission to the top MBA programmes in India. Cutoffs beyond the 99th percentile are probably seen at highly competitive B-schools like Great Lakes Institute of Management, SIMSREE Mumbai, JBIMS Mumbai, and others. Because the exam difficulty level and the number of applicants vary annually, these cutoffs may vary significantly from year to year. Students ought to plan out how they will study the material. It aids in their exam performance. Additionally, it's critical that the pupils practise time management.

If you desire a Tier 2 college, a good score in CMAT will be 70-85 percentile and for a Tier 3 college, less than 70 percentile in CMAT will be good. Now, if you want to understand CMAT.

Yes, it is possible to get an MBA seat at CET Trivandrum with a valid CMAT score. The institute accepts CAT, CMAT, and KMAT scores for MBA admissions. Thus, students who did not appear for CMAT or did not score well can apply via KMAT or CAT scores. Students are selected for the programme after evaluation of their overall profile and performance in the GDPI rounds.

Thus, applicants with CMAT scores can get admission to the MBA course. However, it is not compulsory. Applicants with valid scores in any of the accepted entrance exams can get admission to the MBA course.
