MAT at a Glance
The Management Aptitude Test is conducted by the All India Management Association (AIMA) in February, May, September and December. You can take it as a paper-based, computer-based or internet-based test, which makes it one of the most flexible MBA entrance exams in India.
Because of that flexibility and its wide acceptance, many private universities and AICTE-approved PGDM institutes use MAT for merit admissions and to award scholarships.
