MAT Scores

GIBS Business School offers the opportunity to apply for a scholarship based on a candidate's MAT score. Scholarships are available for candidates who demonstrate outstanding qualifications through their entrance examination scores (including the MAT) and through their overall application process. Candidates will increase their chances of receiving a scholarship by achieving a high percentile/score on their MAT, in addition to having good grades and performing well in the interview portion of the application process.

• Scholarships are not guaranteed; therefore, eligibility is dependent upon meeting certain performance standards.
• The final award decisions will be made annually by a committee consisting of both admission and scholarship personnel.

MAT test scores can be used to determine if an applicant is eligible for a scholarship at GIBS Business School. GIBS uses test performance as the basis for awarding scholarships and accepts a variety of management tests including the MAT (in addition to the CAT, CMAT, XAT, ATMA, GMAT, and others). Higher test scores, including those achieved on the MAT, can increase the applicant's chances of being awarded a merit-based scholarship which would reduce their financial burden and reward them for their academic achievements.

Therefore, if an applicant achieves a high score on the MAT, it could positively influence their ability to receive a scholarship from GIBS, depending on the institution's scholarship policy and cut-off scores for that year's admission cycle.

If you've taken the CAT or MAT multiple times, you're probably wondering if you can submit multiple attempts to GIBS during the application process. It's an easy answer; just include details about each test attempt (e.g., date taken) and attach each of your scorecards.

Generally speaking, if you've taken the CAT or MAT multiple times, you'll be expected to submit your the highest available score. This is taken into account by GIBS when evaluating your application because their goal is to assess each candidate based on their the highest performance.

The key point is that the scorecards must be authentic and easily verifiable by the GIBS admissions committee. While you do not need to submit every attempt you've taken, if you submit multiple scores from your CAT or MAT, the admissions committee will evaluate those scores with a focus on your the highest percentile or composite score (whichever is greater). This ensures all applicants will have a fair chance to present their the strongest applications.

Once your scores are received, the GIBS admissions team will evaluate your application via group discussions and interviews, among other means. While the entrance exam score is only one part of the entire application evaluation process, submitting your the highest score for consideration will help maximize your chances of being invited for an interview.

Yes, Chandigarh University accepts MAT scores for MBA admissions. The university gives preference to students who have appeared for national-level entrance tests like MAT, CMAT, ATMA, or XAT. If your MAT percentile is 90% or above, you can get direct admission without any other test. Along with that, you'll also receive scholarship benefits—students scoring above 90% get a 25% semester fee scholarship, and those scoring between 85–89.99% get a 20% semester fee scholarship. But if your MAT score is below 85%, you will have to appear for the CUCET exam, which also opens doors for scholarships based on your CUCET performance. So, even if your MAT percentile is not very high, you still have an opportunity to secure admission and financial support by qualifying in CUCET. The system is very student-friendly and ensures everyone has a fair chance.
