About MAT

MAT is the B school entrance exam conducted by All India Management Association (AIMA). It

is conducted eight times a year (twice each in Feb., May, Sep. & Dec.). MAT scores are

considered by more than 600 B-schools across the country.

Eligibility

Graduate in any discipline from a recognized university can write MAT. Final year degree course

students can also apply.

Mode of Test

MAT is being conducted in both the formats - Paper pencil as well as Computer based. A

candidate is allowed to take the test in any one or BOTH the modes - either Paper Pencil or

Computer Based Test or BOTH for that particular administration of MAT. The Paper-Pencil Test

takes place only on one day at only one time slot, whereas in Computer Based Test (Online Test),

a candidate can take the test on any one of the multiple time slots in the span of the first few days

of February, May, September and December.

Test Pattern

MAT is an objective type test with multiple-choice answers. It has 200 questions to be attempted

in 150 minutes. Each question carries 1 mark and for each wrong answer, one-fourth of a mark

is deducted. These 200 questions are from five sections viz. Data Analysis and Sufficiency,

Mathematical Skills, Language Comprehension, Indian and Global Environment, Intelligence

and Critical Reasoning with exactly 40 questions in each. There is no section wise time limit (for

any of the two formats – Paper based test or ONLINE test).

Description of Test Areas

There are five test areas, with each having 40 questions, which appear in MAT. The description

of the individual test area is as given below.

Mathematical Skills: The questions are designed to test one's basic mathematical skills,

understanding of elementary mathematical concepts, and the ability to reason quantitatively

and solve quantitative problems. It has been observed, in the last few exams, that approximately

80% questions are asked from topics like Algebra(Simple equations, Ratio, Proportion,

Variation), Arithmetic (Percentages, Profit and Loss, Partnership, Averages, Mixtures and

Alligation, Simple Interest and Compound Interest, Time and Work, Time and Distance,

Numbers), Plane Geometry and Mensuration. The remaining 20% questions are asked from

Higher Maths like Trigonometry, Permutations and Combination, Probability and Height and

Distance.

Intelligence and Critical Reasoning: This test area, has, approximately 25-30 questions from

Analytical Reasoning (Linear Sequencing/Seating Arrangement; Direction Sense; Clocks;

Calendars; Blood Relations; Venn Diagrams; Distribution; Coding /Decoding; Number and Letter

Series). The remaining 10-15 questions are from Critical Reasoning(Cause and effect;

Statements and Conclusions; Statements and Assumptions; Strong and Weak Arguments;

Inferences, Courses of Action, Assertion and Reasons).

Data Analysis and Sufficiency: This test area comprises nearly 30 questions from Data

Interpretation(DI), 5 questions from Data Sufficiency(DS) and 5 questions from Data

Comparison(DC). Questions in DI are based on the data, whose presentation is done in one or

more of the following ways: Tables, pie charts, bar graphs, Caselets, Venn diagram, stacked

graph, line graph. Data Sufficiency (DS) questions are designed to measure one's ability to

analyze a problem and recognize which information is relevant. Data Comparison questions are

designed to measure one's ability to compare different quantitative data.

Language Comprehension: This test area comprises 20 questions each from Verbals/English

Usage and 20 Questions from Reading Comprehension. Questions in Verbals/English Usage are

from topics like Analogies, Synonyms, Antonyms, Para Jumbles, Fill in the Blanks, Summary

and Functional Grammar. While the questions related to Analogies, Synonyms, Antonyms, Fill in

the blanks test one's vocabulary skills, the questions related to para jumbles measure one's

ability to choose the most logical order of sentences that constructs a given paragraph. In

Reading Comprehension, one has to read passage(s) and answer questions that follow the

passages. Usually, there are 4 to 5 passages, with equal number of questions in each passage.

The questions are designed to test one's ability to quickly grasp what is being said in the

passage. The passages, usually, are from different topics like Science and Technology, Politics,

Philosophy, Art and Culture, Business.

Indian and Global Environment: MAT has General Awareness as a part of the paper. In this area,

questions are asked on current issues and/or past issues. General Awareness questions also

cover economic related issues and cover topics like History, Polity, Geography, Indian

Economy, Global Economy, Sports etc.

MAT Results

MAT results are declared, in the form of a score report, usually three weeks after the date of the

exam. Each score report contains six scores: Language Comprehension, Mathematical Skills,

Data Analysis and Sufficiency, Intelligence and Critical reasoning, Composite Score and Indian

and Global Environment. The composite score is arrived at using the first four sections of the

test only. Essentially, the marks scored in Indian and Global Environment is not a part of the

composite score. Instead, it is presented separately in the same score report. Equal weightage

is assigned to all these four sections.

B-Schools which accept MAT score

A large number of colleges (around 600 colleges) base their admission through MAT. While a

few good B-Schools under MAT are listed below (not necessarily in any specific order of

ranking), students are advised to take expert guidance in the matter of selecting / applying to
