CMAT Mock Test 2026

A free CMAT mock test series on the NTA pattern. It runs 100 questions in 180 minutes for 400 marks, across five equal 20-question sections including Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Every CMAT online test here is free to attempt and returns a section-wise result the moment you submit.

Innovation and Entrepreneurship is a fifth of this paper and appears on no other major MBA entrance. It is 20 questions and 80 marks, the same as Quantitative Techniques or Language Comprehension, and a candidate preparing CMAT on CAT material covers four of its five sections and none of that one. It is also the most learnable section in the paper, being closer to defined content than to a reasoning skill. On pacing, 180 minutes for 100 questions is 108 seconds each, unusually generous for this level, and there is no sectional time limit, so the whole three hours is yours to allocate. With 4 marks for a correct answer against 1 off, break-even is one in five and a single elimination makes an attempt worthwhile.

CMAT exam pattern

Quantitative Techniques and DI, Logical Reasoning, Language Comprehension, General Awareness and Innovation & Entrepreneurship

Official 2026 pattern
Questions: 100
Marks: 400
Duration: 180 minutes

Quantitative Techniques and Data Interpretation · Logical Reasoning · Language Comprehension · General Awareness · Innovation & Entrepreneurship. Negative marking: 1 per wrong answer. Single composite 180-minute timer for all five sections combined: no sectional lock, matching the official test's own no-sectional-time-limit rule.

The official CMAT (conducted by NTA) has 100 questions for 400 marks in 180 minutes, 4 marks per correct answer and -1 for a wrong one, with no sectional time limit, across five equal 20-question sections: Quantitative Techniques and Data Interpretation, Logical Reasoning, Language Comprehension, General Awareness, and Innovation and Entrepreneurship. This mock now covers all five sections at full official scale. General Awareness and Innovation & Entrepreneurship were excluded from an earlier build of this mock as content-risk; that exclusion is lifted here because the General Awareness bank is entirely static, evergreen general-knowledge fact recall (constitutional articles, geography, science constants, historical monuments, international-institution headquarters) with no current-events dependency, and the Innovation & Entrepreneurship bank applies definitions to stated scenarios and short calculations (break-even, contribution, working capital) rather than testing bare terminology recall, unlike the format this project had earlier assumed for both sections.

Frequently asked questions

How many CMAT mock tests are available here?

This page currently has 6 syllabus-checked tests for CMAT: 1 full-length mock, and 5 sectional tests.

Are these CMAT tests based on the official pattern?

Yes. Every checked CMAT test matches the official pattern's question count, marks, duration and negative marking, and the source document is linked with the date it was last read. For the paper, that is 100 questions for 400 marks in 180 minutes.

How long does a CMAT mock test take?

A full-length CMAT mock here runs 180 minutes, matching the official working time for the paper it reproduces. The timer starts when you begin and the test submits itself when time runs out, so it is worth starting one only when you can sit it through. The shorter tests on this page run from 36 minutes, for when you do not have a full sitting free.

Do these CMAT mock tests have negative marking?

Yes. Every CMAT test here deducts 1 mark for a wrong answer and scores an unanswered question zero, the same as the official scheme it is checked against. Your result breaks out what the deduction cost you, so you can see whether guessing helped or hurt.

Should I start with a full-length CMAT mock or a sectional test?

Start with a full-length mock if you have not sat the whole CMAT paper under its official timer before: it is the only thing here that tells you whether you can finish in time. Move to the 5 sectional tests once the full mock has shown you which section is costing you marks, and use them to rebuild that one section rather than re-sitting the whole paper each time.

Are these CMAT mock tests free?

Yes. All 6 CMAT tests on this page are free to attempt, with no account and no paid tier holding back better questions.
