Yes, it is possible to crack MAT with 1-month preparation, but only if you have studied the topics included in the MAT syllabus before or have prepared for MAT or any other MBA entrance exam. If you are a fresher and have no prior knowledge of MAT do not attempt in with one-month preparation. Give yourself at least 6 months for MAT preparation. Those who have an experience of MAT or any other MBA entrance exam, need to focus on mock tests and sample papers in the given one month. Since they are well acquainted with the topics, sums, theorems, formulae, concepts, types, etc. All they need to do is practice them more. To prepare for MAT

No, for PGDM Admission at the IILM Institute for Higher Education, MAT score is not compulsory. Any competitive exams scores including CAT XAT NMAT scores etc. Are considered for such admission. There is no compulsion to sit for MAT exam if you have scored well in any other above mentioned exams.

There is no provision to edit the MAT application form after submission. Unlike other MBA entrance exams, there is not provision of form correction in MAT. Forms submitted once will be final. If a candidate has made a mistake in the form or wishes to change any information they cannot do so. They will have to fill a fresh MAT application form with a new phone number and email ID. They will also have to pay the application fee again. Aspirants must note that the MAT application fee is non refundable so they cannot request for refund if they have filled the form incorrectly. Thus, it is very important for candidates to check each and eve

There is no difference between the registration process of CBT, PBT and IBT modes of MAT. The application form for MAT CBT, PBT and IBT is common.
