MAT

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.

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.
