No marks are deducted for skipping a question in MAT exam. If you do not attempt a question, you will be marked 0 for it. There is negative marking in MAT for wrong attempts, so candidates must rather skip the question than make guess work. It is not mandatory to attempt all the questions in MAT, so there is no pressure.

For every incorrect attempt, 0.25 marks are deducted in MAT. The negative marking is applicable to all exam modes – CBT/PBT/IBT and all five sections. Candidates while appearing for the MAT, must keep in mind the negative marking and not attempt questions that they are not sure of. It is better to not answer a question than lose 0.25 marks. Negative marking impacts sectional as well as overall scores.

The difficulty level of MAT IBT, CBT and PBT is same – easy to moderate. Even though the set of questions are different in each test form, the examination authority maintains same difficulty level, so that no candidate has any advantage or disadvantage over others due to difference in exam mode. Thus, scoring better in MAT IBT, CBT or PBT totally depends on candidate's preparation and ability to optimize their score by choosing the right questions in the exam.

Yes, there is a uniform syllabus for the MAT IBT, PBT, and CBT exams. The exam format and grading scheme are the same for all three alternatives. The MAT course covers language comprehension, critical thinking and intelligence, data sufficiency and analysis, mathematical abilities, and the Indian and global settings for all modalities. A candidate has to prepare for each topic on this page that is mentioned above to pass the MAT exam. Completing the MAT course in its entirety takes about 3 months. Applicants who have previously taken the MAT or any MBA entrance exam can complete the material more rapidly.

The computer-based version, or CBT, of the MAT exam is administered online. Using a mouse pad, candidates must enter their answers on the computer screen. Candidates taking the PBT style exam must complete an OMR page using a blue or black ballpoint pen and the appropriate response. These days, the majority of applicants choose CBT, which has two sessions within a given exam phase.

Every one of the five sections is given equal weight in the MAT Test. Not a single component is heavier or lighter than the others. The MAT test consists of four sections: Mathematical Skills, Language Comprehension, Intelligence and Critical Reasoning, Data Analysis and Data Sufficiency, and Indian and Global Environment. Each section consists of 40 questions, and the overall score for each subject is 40 marks.

The MAT IBT exam format is identical to that of the CBT or PBT. All examination modalities of the MAT exam follow the same pattern, in actuality. The MAT exam takes two hours, or 120 minutes, to complete in the PBT, CBT, and IBT modalities. The marking system is one plus one for a right answer and one minus 0.25 for a wrong answer. Since there is no sectional time limit for the MAT, candidates are free to use the two hours anyway they see fit. Ideally, they should dedicate 25 minutes each to the top four areas and 15 minutes to the general knowledge portion. Because each MAT session contains a different set of questions, there can be a

MAT is definitely regarded as an easy entrance examination for management studies than other ones like CAT or GMAT . Syllabus of MAT is similar to other examinations hence candidate need not prepare anything extra. All the sections of the examination are straight forward with direct questions. The level of difficulty of questions in MAT is easy to moderate. Unlike other examinations, MAT has no sectional timing, which enables it's candidates to have full access to their choices.

No, there is no difference in the question paper of MAT IBT and MAT CBT or PBT. The paper pattern is the same for all three with two hundred questions each . However, MAT IBT is a remote proctored examination which allows it's candidates to choose the location of their preferences to give the examination, while the other two are centre based examinations. The difficulty level is also similar in all three sessions. To know more about the MAT examination, refer to the official website.
