ATMA answer key is not generally released. But, if it does, it will be released by the exam conducting body, AIMS. It can be downloaded from the official website once the exam has been conducted. The ATMA 2024 exam was conducted on July 31, 2024. The answer key release date is not certain, however, it is likely to be released in the last week of July 2024, after the exam is conducted. The ATMA answer key will mention the correct options for each question asked in the ATMA question paper.

Q:   How can I calculate ATMA scores?

A:
ATMA score is determined on the basis of correct answers marked by aspirants in the ATMA exam. For each correct answer, candidates are awarded one mark. For an incorrect answer, 0.25 marks are deducted from the candidates' total score. This means that for four incorrect answers, one mark is deducted from the total score. The raw score of candidates is scaled with reference to the total number of candidates appearing in the exam. The ATMA percentile is the percentage of candidates among those who have appeared for the exam and scored below the candidate in that category. That is, if a candidate has scored 53 per cent, this means that 53 per cent of candidates who have appeared in ATMA exam scored below him/her. Based on the percentile score of candidates they will be offered admission to the management institutions compared to others who have appeared in the test.
