Eligibility Criteria:

In order to qualify for the MAT 2024 exam, candidates must have graduated from a recognized university in any discipline. Professional degree holders, such as CA, CS, or ICWA, are also eligible to apply. Moreover, candidates in their final year of graduation can also apply for the MAT 2024 exam.

Candidates of all ages can participate in MAT 2024, as AIMA does not specify an upper age limit. While there is no minimum percentage requirement for the exam, individual institutes may have their own criteria for admission. For candidates with grades or CGPA, the percentage calculation will be based on the procedure certified by their respective institute, in accordance with the participating management institute’s criteria.

Aspiring candidates are permitted to sit for the MAT exam without any limit on the number of attempts. This policy offers flexibility and allows individuals to continue attempting the exam until they achieve a successful outcome. Moreover, the MAT exam does not necessitate a minimum level of work experience, thereby ensuring accessibility for recent graduates and early career professionals alike.

Marking Scheme:

In 2024, the MAT pattern has been updated with significant changes compared to previous exams. The exam duration has been shortened from 2.5 hours to 2 hours, and the number of questions has been reduced from 200 to 150. Despite these changes, all three test modes maintain the same MAT test structure and sectional composition, with an overall difficulty level ranging from easy to moderate.

In the latest MAT pattern, each correct answer is awarded 1 mark, while 0.25 marks are deducted for each incorrect attempt. Unanswered questions do not result in any mark deductions. Each section of the MAT exam carries an equal weightage of 30 marks; however, the score from the Indian and Global Environment sections is not considered in calculating the MAT percentile. Therefore, it is recommended to prioritize other sections over this particular section.

The MAT question paper comprises 150 questions which are evenly distributed among five distinct sections, namely: Language Comprehension, Intelligence and Critical Reasoning, Data Analysis and Sufficiency, Mathematical Skills, and Indian and Global Environment. Each section encompasses 30 questions.

Aspiring candidates should register early for the MAT August 2024 to avoid last-minute issues and ensure sufficient preparation time. Focus on all sections, prioritize those impacting the MAT percentile, and leverage the revised pattern to boost your chances of success.
