What is KMAT Kerala Admit Card 2026?
The KMAT Kerala admit card is the official hall ticket issued by the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Government of Kerala, for the Kerala Management Aptitude Test (K-MAT). CEE Kerala releases it on the official candidate portal a few days before each session’s exam. You cannot appear in the KMAT Kerala 2026 exam without a valid printed admit card — no digital copy is accepted at the exam centre.
KMAT Kerala is held twice a year — Session 1 (February) and Session 2 (May) — for admission to MBA and PGDM programmes at over 120 AICTE-approved institutes across Kerala. The exam is conducted in Computer Based Test (CBT) mode. Your admit card is your entry pass to the exam centre and carries your roll number, allotted centre details, exam date, shift timing, reporting time, and important exam-day instructions issued by CEE Kerala.
The admit card will not be sent by post — you must download it from the official CEE Kerala website.
Note: The KMAT Kerala admit card is solely an exam entry document. It does not confirm your eligibility for MBA or PGDM admission. CEE Kerala verifies eligibility separately during the admissions and counselling process at participating institutes.
