Test-takers find CMAT easy, except for GK and some 'wrong questions'

21.05.12

After much hoopla, the  All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) conducted its first Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) today. Barring a few  ‘wrong questions’  the exam was found to be fairly easy said aspirants, though the General Knowledge section was found to be a little more difficult than others.

“The CMAT paper seemed like an extension of the MAT paper to me. I found most sections, especially Data Interpretation (DI) comparatively easy. For me, the General Knowledge (GK) section was the most difficult,” said Krishna Pandey, a final year engineering student from Delhi who took the exam at a centre in Dwarka. He added that since the questions were simple, he was able to make a total of  80 attempts. “I wish more prestigious colleges were accepting CMAT scores,” he said, adding that he only appeared for the CMAT because he had filled up the form and did not want his money to go to waste.

Many CMAT takers admitted that CMAT’s first paper was ‘easier than expected.’  Nazarenu Fernandes, a final year B.E. Electronics and Telecommunication student of Goa Engineering College told PaGaLGuY, “The Quantitative section was very easy and I could solve 23 out of 25,  of which I think I got only one wrong. All questions were simple and direct, just like Logical reasoning (LR). GK was a bit tricky, but then Verbal Ability (VA) was quite easy with one small passage.”
