KMAT 2025 Merit List - Check State Wise, Category Wise Toppers and Rank List

KMAT Merit List 2025 Overview

The KMAT Merit List 2025 is an important aspect of the admission process for candidates wishing to pursue MBA, PGDM, and MCA programs offered by top colleges in Karnataka. The merit list will be prepared separately by all KMAT 2025 participating colleges, and the merit list will only contain the names of candidates who have cleared the KMAT Karnataka 2025 exam, in addition to being in line with the cut-off scores. The merit list will show the score and rank of each candidate who has qualified, and candidates will then use the merit list as a stepping stone to the next level of the admissions process. Unlike centralised admission methods, the KMAT 2025 admissions process is decentralised; each institute considers students based on multiple selection rounds, with activities that may include Group Discussion (GD), Written Ability Test (WAT), or Personal Interview (PI). Hence, candidates should expect the merit list to be released in November 2025. Colleges will use the KMAT 2025 rank to invite candidates to apply based on their cutoffs. The following sections will cover all the details about the KMAT 2025 merit list to help you easily navigate the KMAT admission process.

What is the KMAT Merit List?

The KMAT merit list of 2025 is a ranked list of candidates based on their performance in the Karnataka Management Aptitude Test (KMAT). There are 169+ participating colleges in Karnataka. Each college will release its cutoff scores or cut-off ranks, which allow these colleges to determine which candidates are eligible for admission to their MBA/ PGDM or MCA programs. You may only be qualified to participate in further selection rounds at subsequent stages offered by individual colleges. The merit list is prepared by the participating colleges separately, rather than as part of an overall common merit list. The KMAT merit list fulfils the following purposes:

• Identify candidates who have met the cutoff scores
• Reveal the rank and scores of qualified candidates
• Allow colleges to shortlist candidates for the next level of the selection process
