After a candidate successfully fills the CMAT 2027 application form, NTA announces the exam center allotted out of the candidate’s chosen city preferences.

Candidates should check their allotted center in advance to plan travel on exam day.

Center Change Policy

CMAT 2027 Exam Center Change: Is It Allowed?

NTA does not permit candidates to change the allotted CMAT exam center once it has been assigned. The center allotment is based on the city preferences submitted during the application process and seat availability at the time of allotment. Because of this, candidates must fill city preferences carefully and rank them in the order they would most prefer to travel to on the day of the exam.

In exceptional circumstances - such as a center becoming non-operational due to technical failure, natural calamity, or administrative reasons - NTA may relocate affected candidates to a nearby center in the same city or an alternate city. NTA informs affected candidates directly in such cases, so candidates should keep their registered mobile number and email active throughout the exam period.

Note: Individual requests for CMAT center change are not entertained by NTA. Select preferred cities with care at the time of application form submission.
