Management Aptitude Test (MAT)Â is conducted on a quarterly basis by the All India Management Association; an association which has management colleges and B-schools affiliated to it. These colleges accept MAT scores and consider them valid for admission.
MAT Feb 2022Â applicants are given seven options. A candidate can choose whether to attend MAT once or twice, India Education career experts strongly suggest giving it twice as it allows one to choose 7 colleges instead of 5. The first IBT based date out of the 5 dates is 26th Feb, 2022 and the last is 13th Mar, 2022. The PBT based MAT will be happening on 6 Mar, 2022 and CBT based MAT on 13th Mar, 2022.
While choosing your test city, it is important to ensure that the city offers the mode of exam you plan to take (i.e. paper based/ computer based) if you are not choosing IBT only.
