Introduction:
Management Aptitude Test, also known as MAT among the MBA aspirants
is one of the most popular MBA entrance exams of India today. Conducted
by All India Management Association (AIMA), the exam is conducted four
times a year in the months of February, May, September and December.
The objective behind conducting MAT four times a year is to provide MBA
aspirant more opportunities to improve
their scores and better their chance in
admission for a particular academic
year instead of waiting for one more
year.
Started as a paper pencil based test,
MAT gradually developed to a
computer based test as well. But unlike
CAT, which is now conducted only in
the computer based format, MAT is
conducted in both paper pencil based
format as well as the computer based format. From the year 2009, MAT
introduced its computer based format.
MBA institutes offering recognized MBA programs and allied fields can
participate in MAT. It is for the MBA aspirants to take MAT for admission
into the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) and equivalent
MBA programs offered by participating B-schools. All B schools that
participate in MAT are either AICTE (All Indian Council for Technical
Education) approved or affiliated to universities.
MAT is one of the most popular competitive exams among MBA aspirants
as it gets them access to a large number of good B schools in India. Also,
the other reason that attributes to the immense popularity of this exam is
that the candidates can choose to take either Paper Based Test or Computer
Based Test as per their convenience.
Computer Based Test assumes that the candidate has basic familiarity
with use of computers like use of keyboard and mouse operation. It is the
responsibility of the candidate to acquire these skills before appearing in
the test and AIMA cannot take responsibility for the same. Online MAT is
offered over a period of time and the candidate can choose the center, the
