MAT

Unique Institute of Management (UIM) in Pune is generally considered a Tier 3 college. This classification is based on its reputation, placement records, and overall academic standing within the broader landscape of management education in Pune and India. While not among the top-tier MBA programs, UIM Pune does offer a practical, industry-focused MBA and has been accredited by AICTE and NAAC.

The Management Aptitude Test (MAT) cutoff scores vary significantly between different MBA colleges. UIM colleges often have cutoffs between 50-70 percentile.

For admissions to the Panipat Institute of Engineering and Technology MBA course, the institute accepts valid MAT scores. Thus, candidates seeking admission to the course can appear for the MAT 2025 exam. As per official sources, the 2025 session of the MAT exam is scheduled to be held on Mar 9, 2025.

MAT and CMAT syllabi are same for Verbal Ability, Quantitative Aptitude, Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning. MAT also has GK like CMAT, but the nature of GK questions of MAT are slightly different from that of CMAT. The MAT GK section has more questions from economy and business.

Verbal Ability, Quantitative Aptitude, Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning topics of CMAT syllabus are same as CAT syllabus. So, an MBA aspirant can prepare for CAT and CMAT simultaneously with the same study material. However, they will need CMAT specific books and resources to study Innovation and Entrepreneurship and GK section. CAT doesn't have these two sections.

The MAT cutoff in 2023 for Aurora's Business School was in the region of 80-90 percentiles, keeping in line with its Tier 2 college designation. What this implies is that shortlisted candidates typically have to score within this percentile band in the MAT exam to be shortlisted for the MBA/PGDM programmes from Aurora's Business School.
