At GIBS, our reservation policy differs significantly from that of government colleges.

Reservation Process for CAT and MAT Candidates

• At GIBS, we do not follow an established reservation system (SC/ST/OBC/EWS) as part of our admission process.
• Additionally, GIBS does not allocate a separate number of seats to candidates based on CAT or MAT category.

MAT is overall an easy exam, but if you compare the sections, usually the Quantitative Aptitude is considered tougher than rest of the four sections, due to calculation intensive questions.

All the MAT sections have same weightage, i.e. 30 questions and 30 marks. So candidates must keep in mind to prepare each section properly and poor performance in one section can affect overall score.
