MAT cut off is the minimum score required for admission to any college. Every MAT accepting college has a minimum percentile basis which they select candidates for admission.

If you are targeting any of the top tier MBA colleges, then it is required to have a score of 600 score in MAT, which will convert into 90 percentile and above.

Certainly! Currently, the MAT exam registrations for the Familiarization session of February-2026 have been opened, which may be used to apply to MBA or PGDM programs at the institutions participating (e.g., GIBS Business School) through the registration deadline of February 23, 2026 for the Paper-Based Tests (PBT) and March 2, 2026 for the Computer-Based Tests (CBT); whereas the tests will be held on March 1, 2026 for the PBT and March 8, 2026 for the CBT.  

As such, if you choose to use your MAT scores in order to apply to an MBA or PGDM programme at GIBS and have met any other requirements of the institution (i.e., CAT, XAT,

GIBS is pretty flexible when it comes to entrance exams. They accept almost all the common management tests — CAT, XAT, MAT, CMAT, ATMA, State CET, and even GMAT. In my batch itself, we had students who came through different exams, not just CAT.

Honestly, that's one thing I liked about GIBS — they don't restrict the admission chances to only one or two exams. If you've taken any recognised management entrance, it counts. After that, they focus more on your overall profile, interview, and how serious you are about management studies, which makes the process feel fair rather than purely score-driven.

Yeah, you can definitely get a scholarship based on MAT score for PGDM at GIBS. In fact, in my batch quite a few students came in through MAT and got some level of scholarship depending on their percentile and overall profile. It's not like only CAT matters — MAT is also considered seriously along with academics, personal interview, and sometimes extracurricular stuff.

What I liked is GIBS doesn't make it feel out of reach. If your MAT score is decent and you perform well during the admission process, there's a genuine chance. So yeah, as a student I'd say it's totally possible and worth trying instead of assuming it's only for top ra

Yes, you can absolutely get admission into the MBA programme without clearing CAT or MAT, because the university follows a flexible admission pathway that allows students to apply through its own entrance exam called CUCET. This exam acts as the primary route for MBA admissions, and it is designed to evaluate your aptitude, reasoning ability, and basic business understanding. Scoring well in CUCET not only helps you secure your seat but can also make you eligible for scholarships, which is a major advantage for students who want financial support. Many students who didn't appear for national-level tests or couldn't score well still pur
