MAT Exam

MAT is a national-level management entrance examination. Since 1988, Business Schools (B-Schools) have used the Management Aptitude Test (MAT), a standardised exam, to assess applicants for admission to MBA and related degrees. In 2003, the Government of India's Ministry of HRD recognised the MAT as a national-level exam. Based on the Score Cards provided to the candidates, any B-School, whether domestic or foreign, may use the MAT Score as an admission input. Your entry ticket to more than 600 B-Schools throughout India will continue to be the largest test of its kind in the country, the MAT.
