Did You Know?

Every year, around 12,000–20,000 students appear for KMAT.
And yes, 80–90% qualify. Sounds easy, right? But here’s the real story- only 20–30% actually secure seats in good MBA/MCA colleges.

That means out of 15,000 students, 12,000+ qualify… but only 3,000–5,000 land decent colleges. So the problem isn’t passing KMAT; it’s what you get after it. Don’t confuse qualification with success. Get expert guidance with CollegeVidya and choose the right MBA path before it’s too late.
