TU CMAT Masters

It is the central entrance test for graduate management programmes at Tribhuvan University and its affiliated campuses, commonly MBS and MBM. Your score determines shortlisting and, at many campuses, your position in the merit list. Check the current admission notice for which programmes the test covers in your intake.

Delivery has varied between intakes, with some sittings using OMR answer sheets and others computer-based testing. Do not assume either format. The Faculty of Management notice for your intake states the mode, so read it before you plan your practice and your exam-day routine.

The content is broadly similar in difficulty but the pace is tighter and the reasoning and data sections are more demanding. Most candidates find quantitative speed and English vocabulary the main constraints. Accuracy under time pressure, rather than knowledge of obscure topics, separates strong scores.

Retake rules depend on the intake and the programme you are applying to, so there is no single answer. The Faculty of Management publishes eligibility and reapplication conditions with each admission notice. If your score falls short, confirm the rule for the next cycle before paying any fee.

The official notice sets the total duration and section structure; do not rely on remembered timings. In practice, budget by marks rather than by affection for a topic - attempt your strongest section first, cap time per question, and leave nothing blank where there is no negative marking.

Start with quantitative fundamentals and English grammar, because both improve slowly and feed every other section. Add logical reasoning practice two to three times a week, then layer general awareness and management basics as short daily reading. Keep computational skills in the same block as quantitative work.

Sloppy arithmetic under time pressure, misreading question stems, and neglecting general awareness because it feels unstudyable. Another frequent error is over-practising familiar question types while avoiding weak areas. Review every wrong answer to find the cause - concept gap, careless slip or time panic.

Only the Tribhuvan University Faculty of Management publishes authoritative admission information, including application windows, fees, marking and negative-marking rules. Figures change each intake, so verify them on the official site rather than trusting coaching forums, social posts or older notices.

No. The management and accounting content is introductory and can be learned from a standard textbook in a few weeks. Non-management graduates should simply start that section earlier and focus on core concepts such as the accounting equation, cost versus profit, and basic marketing and organisational terms.
