No, writing the KMAT is not compulsory for applying to MBA colleges in Karnataka. However, very few colleges offer direct admission for MBA courses, and those that do are not good colleges. As a result, you must take any entrance examinations in order to gain admission to a good MBA college. In case you missed the KMAT application date or do not want to write this exam, there are many other options available to you, which are:
1. Karnataka state's PG CET exam
2. A national-level management test such as CAT MAT XAT ATMA or CMAT.
3. International tests such as the GRE and GMAT
4. Other institution-level management test scores such as SNAP IIFT IBSAT and NICC

The KMAT is a state-level MBA entrance test for the state of Karnataka, whereas the CMAT is a national MBA entrance exam. The differences between KMAT and CMAT are as follows:
1. Syllabus: There are five sections in the CMAT syllabus: quantitative techniques and data interpretation; comprehension; logical reasoning; general knowledge; and innovation and entrepreneurship. On the other hand, KMAT has only three sections, which are comprehension, reasoning, and Quantitative Aptitude.
2. Pattern: The duration to attempt 100 questions in CMAT is 3 hours, whereas it is 2 hours for 120 questions in KMAT. There are five options for each question in the CMAT unlike the four in the KMAT.
3. Negative Marking: The CMAT has negative marking of minus one mark for every wrong answer and four marks for each correct answer. There is no negative marking in the KMAT exam, and you get one mark for each correct answer.
4. Difficulty: Due to negative marking and a larger syllabus, the CMAT is tougher than the KMAT exam.
5. Acceptance: The CMAT score has more acceptance for admission to MBA courses, unlike the KMAT. Which is only for Karnataka business schools.
