No, work experience is not required to appear for CMAT 2026. Fresh graduates and final-year students are fully eligible. However, while work experience doesn't affect your CMAT score, many individual B-schools award extra 'weightage' points (usually 5% to 10%) for relevant work experience during their final selection and interview rounds.
