Did You Know? KMAT Kerala 2026 Session 2 saw 3,628 candidates appear, with 3,603 qualifying. Only 25 candidates did not qualify, giving the exam a 99.31% qualification rate. But qualifying KMAT is only the first step. MBA admission still depends on college-level selection, cut-offs and seat availability, so qualifying does not guarantee your preferred institute.
If you don’t secure the MBA college you want, don’t let one admission cycle put your career on hold. Consider an Online MBA from a UGC-approved university with CollegeVidya.
