| September 13 | September 20 |
| Physical answer marking | Digital test interface |
Which MAT Mode Should a Candidate Choose?
Students comfortable with traditional paper examinations may prefer PBT, while candidates used to digital mock tests may feel more comfortable with CBT.
The mode should not be selected only because one is assumed to be easier. Preparation and accuracy matter more.
What Should You Carry?
Follow the admit-card instructions exactly.
Typically important items can include:
- Printed admit card
- Valid photo ID
- Permitted stationery
- Other documents specified by AIMA
How Should Candidates Use the Final Three Days?
Do not attempt to learn an entirely new syllabus now.
Use the remaining time for:
- Formula revision
- Reading comprehension practice
- Data interpretation
- Mock analysis
- Time-management planning
- Sleep and exam-day preparation
Why Mock Analysis Matters More Than Another Mock
A candidate may learn more from reviewing one mock carefully than attempting three additional tests without analysis.
Identify:
- Questions missed due to concepts
- Questions missed due to speed
- Careless mistakes
- Sections consuming too much time
When Will MAT Result Come?
AIMA's current schedule says the September 2026 MAT score should be available by the last week of September.
Candidates will be able to access the score through their applicant dashboard.
Does a MAT Score Guarantee MBA Admission?
No.
Participating institutes can apply their own:
- Cutoffs
- Academic criteria
- Group discussions
- Personal interviews
- Application deadlines
