Yes, you will get a rank in the MAT exam, usually called your All India Rank (AIR).
Your rank is decided based on your overall MAT score and percentile compared to all other candidates who appeared in the same session.
You can see your rank and percentile on the official AIMA MAT scorecard after the result is announced.
Colleges like Top BBA colleges in Bangalore with placement GIBS use your MAT score and percentile, not just your rank, while shortlisting candidates for MBA/PGDM admission.

The MAT scorecard is generally valid for one year from the date of result declaration.
This means you can use the same MAT score for MBA/PGDM admissions in the same academic year or the very next admission cycle, depending on the month you took the test (e.g., September/December scores often cover two years).
After one year, the score is no longer valid and you must reappear for MAT if you still want to apply.
Most colleges, including Best business schools in Bangalore GIBS, accept MAT scores only if they fall within this one‑year validity window.
So it's best to plan your MAT attempt close to the admission

GIBS Bangalore usually considers a MAT score around 60–70 percentile for admission to PGDM/MBA programmes.
Some sources mention a round‑1 closing percentile of about 64 for PGDM via MAT, indicating that scoring in this range increases chances of selection.
The exact cutoff can change slightly each year based on number of applicants, seats, and overall performance in MAT.
So, aiming for at least 60–70 percentile in MAT is a safe target for GIBS Bangalore MBA/PGDM. Best management colleges in Bangalore this is for GIBS Bangalore, not other colleges.

There is no minimum passing marks in MAT. Anybody scoring more than 0 marks is eligible for admission. However, since MAT admission is cut off based, merely passing the exam will not ensure selection.
