What is MAT Exam?
The All India Management Association (AIMA) administers the Management Aptitude Test (MAT), a national entrance test, to candidates seeking admission to 800+ B-schools in India for MBA and PGDM programs. The MAT is regarded as one of the most student-friendly entrance exams because it allows for many attempts at any time when the test taker is ready. The exam is given in four phases—February, May, September, and December—over several sessions.
The MAT exam is administered in three different modalities: online (Computer-Based Test,or CBT), offline (Paper-Based Test, or PBT), and remote-proctored (Internet-Based Test, or IBT). Candidates are free to experiment with any modality multiple times. However, they have to sign up separately for every session. The most current MAT exam scores will be taken into consideration for admission. The MAT exam has a similar syllabus and methodology to other MBA entry exams, although being less rigorous.
