What are the options if I want to improve my MAT score after September 2025?
Since MAT is conducted four times a year (February, May, September, and December), candidates can reappear in upcoming sessions to improve their scores. Many candidates take multiple attempts in a single year to raise their percentile and strengthen their admission chances.
Can I use my MAT September 2025 score for admission in multiple colleges?
Yes, the MAT scorecard is widely accepted by multiple MBA colleges across India. Candidates can apply to various institutions using the same MAT scorecard for the academic year for which the score is valid (typically one year).
How are MAT 2025 percentile and composite scores calculated?
The composite score is calculated by scaling the raw marks obtained in four sections (excluding the Indian & Global Environment section), each out of 40 marks. Scores are normalized across different test modes and sessions for fairness. The percentile rank shows the relative performance of the candidate against others appearing in the same session.
Will I receive a physical copy of the MAT 2025 scorecard by post?
No, AIMA does not send a physical copy of the MAT scorecard by post or email. Candidates must download the scorecard online from the official MAT website and save a digital copy or print it for future reference. The online scorecard is considered official.
What should I do if there is a discrepancy or error in my MAT 2025 result?
If you find any errors in your scorecard, immediately contact the AIMA MAT support or exam authorities through their official website’s contact details. Issues are generally addressed within a specified time window after result declaration.
How can I verify the authenticity of my MAT 2025 scorecard?
The official MAT scorecard can only be downloaded from the AIMA MAT website (mat.aima.in) using your registration number and email ID. Verify that the scorecard contains your correct personal details, sectional scores, overall scores, and percentile rank. Any digital scorecard downloaded from the official site is authentic and valid for MBA admissions.
Is 70 a good score in MAT?
A score of 70 in MAT generally corresponds to a percentile range between approx 61 and 74, which means you have performed better than 61% to 74% of test takers. While a score of 70 is decent, it may be considered average or slightly above average for MBA admissions. For admission to more competitive or top B-schools, candidates aim for a composite score above 400 (out of 800) or a percentile above 80. So, a score of 70 can help you get into several good colleges, but for elite institutes, a higher score or percentile is needed.
Can I crack the MAT in one month?
Cracking the MAT in one month is possible with focused preparation. Prioritize understanding the exam pattern, practicing all sections including Language Comprehension, Intelligence & Critical Reasoning, Mathematical Skills, Data Analysis & Sufficiency, Economic & Business Environment, and solving past papers and mock tests regularly. Consistent daily study, time management, and analyzing mock test performance are key to success within a month.
What is a good score on the MAT?
A good MAT score depends on the MBA college’s cutoff, but scoring above 70 percentile is considered competitive for most reputable B-schools. Scores above 85 percentile open doors to top-rated management institutes accepting MAT. Since there are 150 questions with +1 mark for each correct and -0.25 for a wrong answer, aiming for a raw score of around 90-100 (60-66% accuracy) can help achieve a strong percentile.
Is MAT tougher than CAT?
CAT (Common Admission Test) is generally considered more challenging than MAT because it has tougher questions, a stricter time limit, and higher competition as it's the gateway to the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs). MAT is usually viewed as moderate in difficulty and is accepted by over 200 B-schools for MBA admissions. However, the MAT tests similar topics but with relatively simpler questions and more time per section.
