Q: Â Who decides MAT cut off percentiles for admission?
Q: Â Is the selection process of all the MAT participating colleges same?
Q: Â What are the parameters on which MAT participating college shortlist candidates?
MAT Cut Off Determining Factors
MAT 2024 cut off percentiles for all the three exam modes - CBT, PBT and IBT are same. There is no variation in MAT cut offs due to the exam mode. It means a candidate having 95 percentile in IBT and a candidate having 95 percentile in IBT both are eligible for admission. Also, if a candidate has attempted the MAT exam more than once, he/she can use the best score of all his/her attempts for admission.Â
MAT cut off for MBA admission depends on numerous factors. The three main factors are listed below:
- Range of MAT percentile scored by total number of test takers
- Difficulty level of the MAT question paper
- Total number of seats available in the institute
- Previous years' MAT cut off trends
Q: Â For how long is MAT score valid?
MAT score is valid for admission for the same academic year in which the candidate has taken the exam. For example, MAT 2024 score will be valid for admission for 2024-2026 MBA batch only. If a candidate wishes to drop a year after taking the MAT exam, then they will have to appear for the exam once again next year. They should however check the eligibility or selection criteria to have a clarity of MAT score of which session/phase is valid for admission in which academic year. For example, for 2025 academic session MAT September 2024 and MAT December 2024 scores will be valid for admission to some MBA colleges who have the admission cycle of January-February. Whereas, colleges who conduct admission in March-May accept MAT February exam scores for admission. To simplify, MAT test takers must not try to use their score for admission more than one year after appearing for it. They should appear for it again and use the latest score for admission.
