The Karnataka Private Post Graduate Colleges Association (KPPGCA) is expected to release the KMAT Result 2026 for Session 1 in the last week of September 2026 or the second week of October 2026. The examination, which supports admission to MBA, PGDM, and MCA programs in participating institutes across Karnataka, was conducted on September 20, 2026. The official website, kmatindia.com, will host the results once they are declared.

KMAT 2026 is an All India examination, officially authorized by the Government of Karnataka, and serves as the gateway for admissions into 189 AICTE-approved, university-affiliated self-financing colleges in Karnataka. The KMAT 2026 examination was held in an online remote-proctored mode, with the MBA test from 2 PM to 4 PM and the MCA examination from 10 AM to 12 PM.

KMAT 2026 Result Release and Scorecard Details

While some reports, such as from Kollegeapply.com and Collegebatch.com, indicated an expected release in the third week of September, Findmycollege.com tentatively schedules the KMAT Karnataka 2026 Session-I Result Announcement for the second week of October 2026. The KMAT Karnataka 2026 Session-II Result Declaration is tentatively scheduled for the fourth week of November 2026.

Upon release, candidates can download their KMAT scorecard from the official website, kmatindia.com. The scorecard will contain essential details including the candidate’s name, application number, roll number, photograph, section-wise scores, overall KMAT score, KMAT percentile, and rank (where applicable). This scorecard is a mandatory document during the subsequent admission process.

Admission Process Following KMAT Results

After the KMAT results are announced, participating colleges will publish their respective KMAT cutoffs. Shortlisted candidates will then be invited to participate in group discussion (GD), written ability test (WAT), and personal interview (PI) rounds. Admission to MBA, PGDM, and MCA programs will be based on a composite score derived from both the KMAT exam performance and the GD/WAT/PI rounds.

The KPPGCA, established on January 29, 2003, organizes the KMAT exam. It comprises 189 AICTE-approved member institutions affiliated with various universities in Karnataka, aiming to make easier the admission process for postgraduate professional programs.
