The registration process requires candidates to navigate to the application portal, provide the necessary personal and academic details, and complete the payment of the application fee. It is recommended that candidates download and retain a printed copy of their submitted application form for future reference.

The application fee for the KMAT 2026 examination is fixed at INR 1230, which is inclusive of GST. This fee structure applies uniformly across all categories, including General, NC-OBC, SC, ST, and PWD candidates. Payment of this fee is a mandatory step to finalize the registration process and ensure eligibility for the entrance test.

Exam Guidelines and Preparation

As the KMAT 2026 is a remote proctored test, the KPPGCA has advised candidates to thoroughly review the official guidelines regarding system requirements, document checklists, and exam day protocols before the scheduled date. These measures are designed to ensure the integrity of the online examination environment.

Following the conclusion of the registration period, candidates should monitor the official website for updates regarding the release of admit cards and the availability of mock tests.
