Analyse your performance after MAT and then follow these steps
Management Aptitude Test 2025 ( MAT )
Registration - 23 Oct '25 - 7 Dec '25
By: Abhishek Singh
Don’t overthink instead analyse the performance and start preparing with a better strategy. Stay calm and focussed while evaluating the mistakes committed. Research and explore options to crack the exam.
After attempting the test I took a short break as I was hustling for the last few months.
While I was taking a break I started analysing my performance as well. I penned down all the analysed points for the betterment of my next exam attempt. Jotting them down is important or else the small details would skip your mind. The analysis of my performance in the exam helped me to identify the gaps. After identification, I immediately started working on these gaps.

The next steps
Next Exams – I started preparing for the upcoming tests. As MAT is conducted four times a year I was also focusing on MAT as well. This time I was focusing on enhancing my performance by not repeating the mistakes which were done during the last attempt.
Knowledge about Universities – Along with the preparation I was also gaining some knowledge and researching about several universities for details like their eligibility criteria, course curriculum, fees structure, and the placement facilities. I invested a good amount of time to make a list about the universities where MAT is accepted. I am mentioning these universities and categorizing them according to their eligibility percentile.
