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.
