MAT

Symbiosis Skills and Professional University MBA applicants must track SNAP and MAT dates because these exams happen earlier. If you miss the registration for these national tests, you might lose a chance to apply here. Each exam has its own schedule for registration, hall tickets, and results. You need to have your results ready before the university starts its final selection.

MAT is an easy exam compared to other MBA entrances, so you don't need much time for preparation. You can practice sample questions and mocks for mastering the topics. On the exam day, don't aim to solve all the questions. Attempt only those which are from your comfort area. There is negative marking in MAT so don's do guess work or mark any answer option that you're not sure of. You can check detailed MAT prep strategy here:

Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham accepts the CAT, MAT or the XAT exam for admission to the MBA course. Students can attempt any one of the aforementioned exams. After taking part in the exam, students have to attain a valid percentile.

Based on previous year trends, a percentile of at least 40 would be needed for the CAT exam. For the XAT and MAT, 70th and 80th percentiles are required. This is for the General AI category; other categories will have different cutoffs. 

Note: The cutoff data is based on an estimate and is not official.

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.

How Admissions Work

GIBS uses a merit-based admission process in which all qualified applicants are evaluated for admission based on different criteria:

• Entrance Exam Score (CAT/MAT/Other Exams)
• Academic Record
• Group Discussion/GD
• Personal Interview/PI
• Total Profile & Communication Skills
