Most of the MBA colleges follow the same selection process, I. e. exam score, Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI). Some colleges conduct written Ability Test (What) as well. The GD conducted group wise Each group has 8-10 aspirants who are given a topic to discuss. About 5-10 minutes are given to aspirants for preparing their argument and then the floor is thrown open for discussion. In a group discussion, the panelists adjudge the candidates ability to hold a discussion, lead a discussion and convince a group of people. In the What, candidates are given a topic to write short essay. The essay is usually of 200-300 words. Through What, the panelists check candidate's knowledge, clarity of thoughts and communication ability. In the PI round, candidates are adjudged upon their interpersonal skills, communication ability and overall personality. However, there may be slight difference in cut offs or weightage assigned to various selection criteria of the colleges. Candidates must check the admission process of each institute of their preference on their official website or call on help desk.

The participating colleges decide MAT cut off for admission to their MBA/PGDM programmes. Generally, the top MBA colleges' cut off range is around 90-95 percentile. Cut offs of Tier 2 colleges is usually between the range of 80-90 percentile and for Tier 3 it is 50-70 percentile. These cut offs are determined by the colleges on the basis of certain parameters and may change year on year. The three main factors that determine MAT cut off are listed below:
1. Difficulty level of MAT exam
2. Total number of students applying
3. Seat intake capacity of any institute
4. Previous year's cut offs
Admission to MBA/PGDM courses through MAT is based on the cut offs. This is the standard procedure for MBA Admission in private B-schools and top government institutes as well. MAT being a national level MBA entrance exam follows the same process.

MAT participating colleges shortlist candidates on the basis of their past academic record, MAT score and performance in What/GD-PI. Some colleges also consider prior work experience in full time mode at executive or managerial level. In many institutes the scores of Class 12 is given a lot of importance, while in some colleges the score of MAT is considered the most important. Candidates must note that it is critical to have a good profile overall. An important point that MAT aspirants must know is that even though there is no minimum eligibility criteria of 50 percent for appearing in MAT the participating colleges have the minimum score criteria for full-time MBA Admission. Candidates should have scored a minimum of 50 percent in graduation (45 percent for SC/ST/PwD candidates), to be eligible for getting shortlisted for admission through MAT score. So, they should ensure they have at least the minimum score required in graduation before applying for MAT.

The MBA institute will send Group Discussion GD and Personal Interview . PI letter to each candidate who had selected the institute in MAT application form upon their selection based on MAT cut offs. The candidate should keep checking their email ID mentioned in MAT application form. The letters/emails have GD/PI dates, time and venue mentioned on it along with other details related to the GD/PI process. If a candidate wishes to apply at college other than the ones they had selected in the MAT form, then they should visit the website of their desired MBA college and check the application schedule. Once they will fill the application form, they will be informed about the GD/PI schedule via email. Candidates must keep handy the MAT admit card, MAT scorecard, academic certificates, passport size colored photographs, original and requisite fee amount for admission on the day of Group Discussion and Personal Interview.

No. AIMA does not hold common counselling process for MBA Admission through MAT. The role of AIMA is to only conduct the MAT exam and prepare the results. There role in MBA process is only sharing the result/scorecard of candidates with the MAT participating institutes that they have selected in the MAT application form. The participating institutes prepare their own merit list and select candidates for admission basis the result shared by AIMA. The minimum eligibility criteria for shortlisting is passing marks in MAT. However, the selection is based on cut offs fixed by the institutes. The MBA institutes accepting MAT scores inform students about their shortlist status via e-mail when the admission window opens. Candidates who are expecting a call from the institutes they had selected in the MAT application form must keep a check on their email (spam section too) for the interview invitation.

The counseling process can vary depending on the specific context, such as whether you're applying for admission to a college or seeking guidance on mental health issues. However, here are some general steps that may help you participate in a counseling session:
