Q:   How will I know the address of my MAT test centre?

A:
The address of MAT test centre will be mentioned in the admit card only, which means candidates will know the venue/location of their MAT test centre only after they downloading their MAT admit card. The exam authorities will not share the details of any exam centre before the release of the MAT admit card. The MAT CBT and MAT PBT are held in separate cities and the centre is allotted to candidates in the first city of preference as mentioned in the MAT application form. Thus, candidates already know the city in which they will be allotted the test centre. The MAT admit card is released at least two days before the exam so that candidates can download it on time and check the exact location of the test centre allotted to them to make arrangement for the exam day. If any student belongs to a rural area and their MAT test centre falls in a city, they can make arrangements beforehand if they know to which city they have to go for appearing in the exam.

Q:   In how many cities is MAT exam held?

A:
Test cities for MAT CBT and MAT PBT are different.
