There is no section wise time limit- the complete 120 minutes(2 hours) may be spread across the paper as the candidate chooses.

KMAT (Karnataka Management Aptitude Test) follows this pattern:

  • Questions: 120
  • Total marks: 120
  • Duration: 2 hours
  • Difficulty: Medium

Crackto mock tests mirror this exactly, so your practice reflects real timing pressure rather than an approximation.

Crackto provides comprehensive analytics for every KMAT attempt:

  • Score trend across attempts, so improvement is visible rather than assumed
  • Section-wise breakdown pinpointing which areas cost you marks
  • Accuracy versus speed, separating knowledge gaps from time-management gaps
  • Percentile and rank against every other KMAT aspirant on the same paper
  • Question-level time tracking to expose the questions that quietly drain your clock

Yes, absolutely. Retake any KMAT mock test as often as you like — retakes are not limited or charged separately.

Each attempt is stored on its own, so your analytics show the trend across attempts instead of overwriting your earlier score. Retaking a paper after reviewing its solutions is one of the most reliable ways to convert a weak section into a strong one.

KMAT, formally Karnataka Management Aptitude Test, is conducted by Karnataka Private Post Graduate Colleges Association (KPPGCA).

Official notifications, application dates and results are published on the conducting body's own website: https://www.kmatindia.com. Always confirm dates and eligibility there — Crackto is a preparation platform, not the conducting authority.

KMAT is available in English.

Where a Crackto mock test is offered in more than one language, you can pick your language before starting the paper — practising in the language you will actually sit the exam in matters more than most candidates expect.

Crackto mirrors the official marking scheme of KMAT rather than applying a single blanket rule, so if the real paper penalises wrong answers, the mock does too.

The exact scheme for any given paper — marks per correct answer and the penalty for a wrong one — is displayed on that test's page before you begin, and again in your results breakdown afterwards.

The KMAT syllabus is defined by the conducting body and published with each notification.

Crackto mock tests are mapped to it section by section, so after a few attempts your analytics show which areas you have genuinely covered and which need work.
