Q:   Is the question paper of MAT IBT different from MAT CBT or PBT?
A:
No, the question paper of MAT IBT is not different from MAT CBT or PBT. The test pattern, time duration, question type and marking scheme are the same for all three modes. Candidates can choose to appear for any exam mode with the worry of doing exam specific preparation. The only difference between MAT IBT and MAT CBT or PBT is that MAT IBT is a remote proctored exam and can be taken from any location unlike MAT CBT or PBT which are held at designated exam centres. The MAT question paper of every session however is different. All the 200 questions of each question paper is unique. The difficulty level is the same- easy to moderate but since the questions are different from each other candidates can feel slight difference in the difficulty level. The questions for every session are chosen randomly so in one session the paper can be overall easy while in another session the exam can be slightly difficult.
Q:   How many questions to attempt in MAT?
A:

There are 150 questions in MAT. Each section has 30 questions of easy to moderate difficulty level. It is not mandatory to solve all the questions. Candidates should aim to solve about 90-100 questions to get a good score.
