How to Apply for KMAT India 2026 Online: Step-by-Step
The full registration process runs on kmatindia.com. Use a desktop or laptop browser — avoid submitting the form on mobile to reduce the risk of timeouts or upload errors.
Step 1: Open the Official Website
Go to kmatindia.com. On the homepage, locate the "Apply Online" or "Register" button for the July 2026 session and click it.
Step 2: Create a New Account
Click "New Registration" if you are applying for the first time. Enter your full name, email address, mobile number, and date of birth. Set a strong password. An OTP will be sent to your registered mobile and email address — enter it to verify and activate your account.
Step 3: Fill the Application Form
Log in with your credentials and complete all mandatory fields. Do not leave any section blank:
- Personal details: gender, category (General/OBC/SC/ST/EWS), nationality, state of domicile
- Academic details: college name, university, degree course, year of passing, aggregate percentage scored
- Test city preference: choose up to three preferred exam cities from the list on the portal
Step 4: Upload Photo and Signature
Upload a recent passport-size colour photograph and your hand-written signature — both in JPEG format. Photo must be 20 KB–50 KB with a plain white background and your face clearly visible. Signature must be 10 KB–30 KB on a white background. Blurry or oversized files will fail the portal’s validation check and require you to re-upload.
Step 5: Pay the Application Fee
On the payment page, pay approximately Rs. 1,800 (based on the 2025 session fee; verify the exact amount on the portal before proceeding). Accepted modes: net banking, debit card, credit card, and UPI. Note your transaction ID as soon as the payment confirmation screen appears.
Step 6: Submit and Download Your Confirmation Slip
Click "Final Submit" after payment confirmation. Download and print your application confirmation slip. This slip contains your application number, which you need to access your KMAT India 2026 admit card when it is released.

KMAT India 2026 Application Fee
The application fee is accepted online only — cash, demand draft, and cheque are not accepted. The fee is non-refundable under all circumstances, including form rejection due to eligibility issues.
| Category | Application Fee |
|---|---|
| General / OBC / EWS | Rs. 1,800 (tentative, based on 2025 session) |

Last-minute tip: If you face a payment failure near the deadline, switch to UPI or try a different browser. Payment gateways experience high traffic close to the closing date. Save your transaction ID even if the status shows ’pending’ — it is required to raise a complaint if the fee is deducted but your form does not show as confirmed.
