MAT

The MAT score range requisite to get into the Apeejay College of Fine Arts for an MBA usually falls between 400 to 600 depending on how well the candidates perform that year.

 Being in this score range increases the possibility of getting further shortlisted for the next stages of the admission process, namely, group discussion and personal interview.

However, final selection would depend on your previous academic background, work experience (if any), GD and PI performance. So it is advisable that you take up the test for the higher scores rewards and effective preparation for the interview and other selection processes.

The important dates for the MAT application process for admission to MBA/PGDM courses at Lotus Business School generally coincide with the official MAT schedule. The registration is generally open 2-3 months prior to the exam date. The deadline for online registration is usually about a month prior to the exam date. MAT is held several times a year, in February, May, September, and December. Candidates should check frequently on the official MAT website and the admission portal of Lotus Business School for fresh deadlines. Results of the MAT exam generally come 2-3 weeks after the date of the examination.

The management offers admission to the course MBA/PGDM even without MAT scores. Nevertheless, the eligibility criteria entail a valid score in most national-level entrance exams of a country like CAT, XAT, CMAT, or GMAT. With scores from any of the above-mentioned accepted entrance exams, you can very well apply to the school as well, especially if the academic record and work experience are quite strong. However, official websites are the best place to look for the most authentic and updated admission guidelines as well as entrance exam requirements.

Cutoff varies from year to year based on the number of applicants, the difficulty of exams and the seats available. But, the general range in which MAT cutoff lies can be around 60 to 70 percentiles. The number, however, may vary according to the year. Such applicants who cross the MAT cutoff line are selected for further processes, like Group Discussion and Personal Interview. In regard to cutoff details, official websites of Lotus Business School should be checked for the latest updates and accuracy as cutoff varies with each admission cycle.

The MAT is conducted four times in a year, normally in February, May, September, and December. Registration dates, examination dates, and declaration dates for results for every session are available on the official website of MAT. Registrations are usually opened around 2-3 months prior to the date of the exam. A candidate should register much before to avoid last-minute trouble. Candidates who are registered can opt for either the computer-based or paper-based test, depending on the session. Exact dates for each session will only be found out by regularly checking the official MAT website or Lotus Business School's admission page.

An aspiring candidate looking to pursue an MBA from the institute of Apeejay College of Fine Arts is supposed to submit scores matched with nationally conducted tests like CAT, MAT, and XAT.

These are not the only ones; the college may have other alternative criteria, considering some of which may be academic excellence or conduct interviews. Thus, it will be impossible for a student to join without adequate scoring from any one of the above-named recognised tests.

If you have not taken MAT, you can take CAT or XAT and apply for this college.
