KMAT 2026 Session 2 Registration Opens: Check Deadline and Application Details

The Karnataka Post Graduate Private Colleges' Association (KPPGCA) has officially commenced the registration process for the second session of the Karnataka Management Aptitude Test (KMAT) 2026. Prospective candidates looking to secure admission into various postgraduate management and computer application programmes across Karnataka can now submit their applications through the official KMAT India portal.

This second session serves as a vital opportunity for students who were unable to participate in the first session or those aiming to improve their previous performance. By conducting the examination in two distinct sessions, the KPPGCA provides aspirants with greater flexibility in their academic planning and admission prospects.

Registration Process and Important Deadlines

Candidates interested in appearing for the KMAT 2026 Session 2 exam are required to complete their registration by the deadline of October 31, 2026. To ensure a smooth application experience, officials have advised students to complete the process well in advance to avoid potential technical issues or heavy traffic on the website during the final days of the window.

The registration procedure is straightforward and must be completed online at kmatindia.com. Applicants should navigate to the application form tab on the homepage, select the new registration option, and provide the necessary personal and academic details. Once the form is submitted and the registration fee is processed, candidates are encouraged to download and print a copy of their application for their personal records.

Fee Structure and Application Guidelines

The application fee for the KMAT 2026 Session 2 exam is set at INR 1230, which is inclusive of GST. This fee structure applies uniformly to all categories, including General, NC-OBC, SC, ST, and PWD candidates. It is important for applicants to note that those intending to apply for both MBA and MCA programmes must register for each course separately. In such cases, candidates will be issued two distinct admit cards for the respective examinations.

Following the successful completion of the registration and payment process, candidates will become eligible to download their admit cards for the upcoming test. Before the examination date, students are encouraged to review the official guidelines regarding the home-based remote online proctored exam format, including system requirements, the document checklist, and the overall exam pattern to ensure they are fully prepared for the test day.
