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.

Direct admission in MBA without CAT or MAT is possible at LPU through its own entrance or eligibility based process. With 57% in B.Com, basic eligibility is generally met, but selection may still involve an internal test or interview. The curriculum is industry oriented with practical exposure and updated subjects. Placement outcomes depend on skills and performance. One limitation is competition during placements, but structured training support is provided.

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
