NTA cancels candidature otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">After You Submit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Keep the confirmation page. NTA does not post admit cards. You download yours from cmat.nta.nic.in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carry your printed admit card, the self-declaration, one extra photo (the same one you uploaded) and an original photo ID.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NTA does not run admissions. You apply to each college separately.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>NTA has not opened the CMAT 2027 form yet. You apply online at cmat.nta.nic.in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You upload only a photo, a signature and, if applicable, PwD\/PwBD or scribe documents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Photo: JPG\/JPEG, 10\u2013200 KB. Signature: JPG\/JPEG, 10\u201350 KB (2026 specs).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use your own mobile and email, file one form, and check every entry.

Is the CMAT 2027 application form open?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not at the time of writing. NTA opened the 2026 form on October 17, 2025, and the 2027 form is expected around the same time. Watch cmat.nta.nic.in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Which documents do I need for the CMAT form?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A photo and a signature. Add a PwD\/PwBD\/UDID certificate if it applies. The 2026 bulletin asks for no marksheet upload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. What are the CMAT photo size and format?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">JPG\/JPEG, 10\u2013200 KB, on a white background, with at least 80% of your face and both ears visible (2026 spec).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. What is the CMAT signature size?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">JPG\/JPEG, 10\u201350 KB, and clearly legible (2026 spec).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Can I correct my CMAT form after submitting?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only through NTA&#8217;s online correction window, which opens after the fee deadline. NTA does not accept corrections by post, email or WhatsApp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6. Can I use my parent&#8217;s mobile number and email?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. NTA allows a parent&#8217;s or guardian&#8217;s. You can use one number and one email for one form only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7. What if my payment succeeds but I get no confirmation page?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contact the bank or payment gateway, then the NTA helpdesk at <a href=\"mailto:cmat@nta.ac.in\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">cmat@nta.ac.in<\/mark><\/a>. NTA refunds duplicate payments after reconciliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CMAT form is short, but NTA treats your entries as final. Prepare a clear photo and signature, use your own mobile and email, file one form, and download the confirmation page. When the 2027 bulletin goes live, check it for spec changes.
