A:
The address of MAT test centre will be mentioned in the admit card only, which means candidates will know the venue/location of their MAT test centre only after they downloading their MAT admit card. The exam authorities will not share the details of any exam centre before the release of the MAT admit card. The MAT CBT and MAT PBT are held in separate cities and the centre is allotted to candidates in the first city of preference as mentioned in the MAT application form. Thus, candidates already know the city in which they will be allotted the test centre.

If any student belongs to a rural area and their MAT test centre falls in a city, they can make arrangements beforehand if they know to which city they have to go for appearing in the exam.

Q:   Can I change my MAT test centre after the admit card has been released?

A:
It is not possible to change the MAT test centre after the admit card has been released. They will have to appear at the test centre mentioned in their respective admit card. Entry will not be allowed to a candidate at any test centre other than the one mentioned in their admit card. In fact it is not possible to change the exam test city option in MAT after the application form has been submitted unlike in other MBA entrance exams where candidates get a change to choose the test cities again during form correction process. The only time when a test centre is changed, when the exam authorities cancel the session at a centre due to inadequate number of candidates or any other unforeseen reason. Thus, candidates must select test cities in the MAT application form very carefully. They must also download the admit card as soon as it is released and check the test centre location for distance and traveling options before the exam day.
