How to Fill CMAT 2027 Application Form
The registration process has five stages. Complete all stages in one session if possible — partial applications saved at the fee stage may not be processed if the session times out.
Step 1: New Registration on the NTA Portal
- Go to exams.nta.ac.in/CMAT and click "New Registration" or "Apply Now".
- Enter your full name exactly as it appears on your Class 10 certificate, your date of birth, mobile number, and email ID.
- Create a password (8–13 characters; include at least one uppercase letter, one digit, and one special character).
- Submit to receive your Application Number. Save it — you need it for every future login and for downloading the admit card.
Step 2: Fill Personal and Academic Details
- Log in using your Application Number and password.
- Fill your personal details: father’s name, mother’s name, gender, category (General/OBC/SC/ST/EWS), PwD status, and correspondence address.
- Enter your academic details — Class 10, Class 12, and graduation percentage, year of passing, and institution name.
- Select up to four exam cities in order of preference. NTA assigns a centre from your choices.
- Review all entries carefully and save before moving to the next step.
Step 3: Upload Required Documents
- Upload a recent passport-size photograph (JPG/JPEG format, 10 KB – 200 KB, white or light background, face clearly visible).
- Upload your signature (JPG/JPEG, 4 KB – 30 KB, signed on plain white paper in black or blue ink).
- Upload your Class 10 marksheet or passing certificate (PDF, up to 300 KB) as date of birth proof.
- Upload a category certificate (PDF, up to 300 KB) if you are claiming SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwD reservation.
- Preview every uploaded file before proceeding. Blurry or incorrect uploads are rejected at the exam centre and can result in denial of entry.
Step 4: Pay the Application Fee
- Choose a payment mode: debit card, credit card, net banking, or UPI.
- Pay the fee applicable to your category (see the fee table in the next section).
- After a successful transaction, the portal will show a payment confirmation screen. Do not close the browser before this screen loads.
Step 5: Download the Confirmation Page
- After payment, the NTA portal generates your Application Confirmation Page with your Application Number, name, category, exam city preferences, and payment details.
- Download and save this page as a PDF. NTA does not send a confirmation by email or SMS.
- Keep this confirmation page safe — you will need the Application Number to download your CMAT 2027 admit card.
