CMAThas an advantage over other management exams especially over CAT that it covers most of the management institutions , also it includes General Awareness section which improves the chances of induction of those candidates who are sincere about the events of national and

international importance.More than 4 lakh candidates appear every year to take up CMAT , This number is likely to increase this year because of increasing craze of CMAT among the students.To prepare for General Awareness section , candidates should keep an eye on leading newspapers.Plans and schemes of the government of India should not be overlooked. This year UPSC focused more on General Awareness , about 70% of prelims paper contained questions on GA. Therefore students should focus on this section as it contributes 25% of the paper.

Solving last year question papers increase the accuracy of a candidate. Mock tests must be taken so that the CMAT Test looks familiar.Mock tests can be taken at www.acite­cmat.in . Since the number of candidates may increase so chances of cut­off going high is obvious.
