based on the Score Cards issued to the candidates. The MAT is
recognized as one of the most esteemed examinations and continues to
be a benchmark to enter over 600 B-Schools across India.
Here are some noteworthy features
of the MAT.
The MAT is ISO/IEC 27001:2013

Council of India.
It is an entrance test for many
recognized programs and has been conducted for several decades.
The method of testing has been
validated through independent studies and is availed by lakhs of
students.
Hundreds of Institutes and
University Departments accept a candidate's MAT Score for admission.
The exam employs the latest
technology in evaluation and result processing.
Every examinee receives an
individual scorecard with their photograph.
MAT centers are located all
over the country to make it more accessible.

MAT Exam Mode 2021
A candidate can take the MAT in
the following modes.
Remote Proctored Internet-Based
Test (IBT)
Double Remote Proctored
Internet-Based Test (IBT)
Paper-Based Test (PBT)
Paper-Based Test and Remote
Proctored Internet-Based Test (PBT+IBT)
Kindly note that a candidate can opt
for both the IBTs by paying an extra fee of ₹ 1100/- on a regular
exam fee of ₹ 1650/-.
Candidates opting for both the IBTs
have the benefit of selecting two extra Management Institutes for
sending their scores in addition to the prevailing option of
selecting five Management Institutes. They can choose seven
Management Institutes in total.
In a Computer-Based Test, questions
are presented on the monitor, and candidates are required to submit
the answers by using the keyboard or mouse. The computers are
connected to a server that is responsible for preparing the question
set and delivering them to the respective computer. Unlike this, the
Paper-Based Test is organized on a single day for all candidates. The
MAT is offered over a period of time, and the candidates can choose
the center, the day and time of their convenience to take the test.
By opting for the Computer-Based
Test, it is assumed that the candidate has basic familiarity with the
use of computers. It is the candidate's responsibility to acquire
these skills before appearing for the exam, and the AIMA is not
responsible for the same.
In the Paper-Based Test, the student
is supposed to bring pens, HB pencils, erasers, and sharpeners with
him/her. The question paper and OMR answer sheet will be provided at
the test center.
Except for the different exam dates,
the fee, exam pattern, and syllabus for both the modes remain the
same.
Preparing for the MAT 2021
For effective preparation, students
are advised to focus on improving their problem-solving skills with
the help of previous years' MAT question papers and mock tests. Your
MAT preparation strategy should be organized according to the MAT
exam pattern and syllabus. All sections in the MAT have equal
weightage.
One can crack the MAT by being
diligent in their preparation:
Make it a practice to read
books, magazines, newspapers, and online blogs daily to improve your
reading and comprehension skills. This also helps in staying up to
date with the current affairs at the national and international
levels.
Practice solving MAT question
papers, sample papers, and online mock tests to improve speed and
accuracy and develop familiarity with the examination pattern.
Analyze your preparation and
note your strengths and weakness in each section of the syllabus.
Observe and target the topics
carrying more weightage in each section.
Perfect your time management
skills as it is crucial to help you attempt a maximum number of
questions in the exam. Try not to waste time on tricky problems.
