KMAT 2026 Session 2 is set for November 14, and registration closes in 10 days. As of October 21, 2026, the Karnataka Private Post Graduate Colleges Association (KPPGCA) is accepting applications for the second session of the Karnataka Management Aptitude Test, which is used for MBA and MCA admissions in Karnataka.
Session 2 suits candidates who missed Session 1, held on September 20, or want to improve their score. It needs a fresh registration, as the Session 1 application does not carry over.
