MAT 2016

A standardised test, MAT has been approved by the Government of India, Ministry of HRD, as a national level test in 2003. Administered since 1988, the test facilitates business schools (B-schools) to screen candidates for admission to MBA and allied programmes. Over 600 B-school in India and overseas (Link: http://resources.aima.in/nl/index_nwse_new.html) consider MAT score as an admission input based.

The paper-based test will take place only on one day September 4, 2016, at one time slot 10:00AM-12:30PM across venues. Computer-based test will take place from September 10, 2016 in different time slots. If the number of candidates registered for computer-based test is limited and can be accommodated in a single day, the test will be completed on September 10 2016.
