KMAT Basic Information
Updated On - October 16 2026 by Abhinandan Singh
KMAT 2027 has no official notification yet; the current official website still points students to KMAT 2026-related links, and the exam is conducted by KPPGCA, so applicants should watch for the next registration update on the official site.
As of 16 October 2026, the official KMAT portal has not released a KMAT 2027 notification; the site still highlights KMAT 2026 result and application links, and KPPGCA remains the conducting body for the test.

Based on the previous-year pattern, the next step is expected to be the release of the application notice, fee details, and exam schedule. Until then, candidates should keep eligibility documents ready and monitor kmatindia.com regularly for the first official announcement and updates on registration, admit card, result, and counselling-related steps.
