There is no negative marking in the KMAT exam, and you get one mark for each correct answer. 4. Difficulty: Due to negative marking and a larger syllabus, the CMAT is tougher than the KMAT exam. 5. Acceptance: The CMAT score has more acceptance for admission to MBA courses, unlike the KMAT. Which is only for Karnataka business schools.

The KMAT is a pencil-paper based exam and the CMAT is an online computer-based test. The number of test-takers of CMAT is more than KMAT. Hence, it is tougher to score a good percentile in CMAT. Very few good MBA colleges accept the KMAT score as compared to the CMAT.
