The CMAT 2026 admit card is expected to be issued by the National Testing Agency (NTA) around 20 January 2026 on the official portal cmat.nta.nic.in. Aspirants must download the hall ticket before the CMAT exam on 25 January 2026 and check city allotment from the advance intimation slip already released.
The admit card for the Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) 2026 is likely to be released in the third week of January 2026, ahead of the MBA-entrance exam scheduled for 25 January 2026. The National Testing Agency (NTA) will issue the hall ticket through its official exam portal cmat.nta.nic.in.
CMAT 2026 Exam Date and Admit Card Timeline
The CMAT 2026 exam is confirmed to be conducted on 25 January 2026 in computer-based test (CBT) mode for admissions to MBA and other management programmes. While the NTA has not officially announced the exact admit card release date, education updates suggest the hall ticket may be made available on or around 20 January 2026. Candidates are advised to monitor the official CMAT portal for the download link and updates.
Advance City Intimation Slip Already Issued
Before the admit card, the NTA has released the advance city intimation slip on 16 January 2026.

Candidates can download the intimation slip by logging into their CMAT account using their application number and password. The slip confirms the city where the CMAT 2026 exam centre will be located, though the final hall ticket will contain full centre and shift details.
