The Management Aptitude Test (MAT) is held four times a year—typically in February, May, September, and December. The exact dates for each session are decided by the All India Management Association (AIMA), which conducts the exam.
Here’s an overview:
- February Session
- May Session
- September Session
- December Session
MAT offers two test formats for candidates to choose from:
- Paper-Based Test (PBT): The traditional pen-and-paper exam.
- Computer-Based Test (CBT): The digital version, which is more commonly held these days.
The frequency of MAT allows candidates to attempt the exam multiple times a year, providing flexibility in terms of when they want to take the test. This makes MAT an appealing option for those seeking admission to various MBA programs in India.
Make sure to check the AIMA website for official notifications and specific test dates for each session, as these may vary slightly from year to year.
