MAT

I can provide some general guidance. In a standardized test, aiming for a 50th percentile means you're aiming to perform better than 50% of the test-takers. This implies that you need to achieve a score higher than the median score. To increase your chances of achieving this goal, it is advisable to attempt as many questions as you can while maintaining accuracy. When preparing for the MAT it's crucial to focus on your strengths, improve your time management skills, and practice solving previous years' question papers or sample tests. This will help you familiarize yourself with the exam pattern, identify your weaker areas, and build your confidence.

MAT is conducted multiple times a year. Most of the MBA entrance exams in India are conducted annually. MAT is the only exam that is conducted multiple times in four phases and multiple exam modes. To make it possible for every MBA aspirant to appear for an entrance exam, AIMA designed MAT, which can be taken by candidates from an exam center as well as at home. The exam is held in February, May, September, and December, which allows candidates to prepare and plan for it as well as for MBA admission. In each of these four months, the MAT is conducted in CBT, PBT, and IBT modes. Candidates can choose a date and a mode of exam based on their preparation and convenience. Registrations for each MAT exam phase start a month earlier. Candidates can also take re-tests in the same academic session if they are not happy with their scores.
