No, you are not eligible for VIT Chennai with a MAT score of 521 as this score compiles to around 44-45 percentile. And the MAT cutoff for VIT Chennai is 80+ percentile.

Very frankly speaking. 46 percentile is a very low score for the MAT exam. If you just want to do MBA then you can opt for colleges where they take direct admission. I'm sure there are plenty of them. You won't even require your MAT score card there. But if you are willing to take admission in a good MBA college where you can get a better placement. Then I would suggest you take a year and start preparing for management exams such as CAT CMAT XAT GMAT MAT etc.

Yes, there are some colleges that accept MAT score also.

Hi Shreya, Almost every MBA entrance exams are similar to each other in terms of the syllabus only some differences are there. The major difference is that CAT scores are accepted across many colleges in India. In NMAT you will be having limited options in college. Because it is acceptable in some colleges. NMAT is conducted by a particular institute called Narsee Monjee for selecting MBA students for their college. NMAT has a different exam structure and syllabus from CAT with No negative marking. Thanks.
Hope it helps.

There are several colleges giving extra benefits on the basis of MAT exam. You can consider Doon college of management and you can also try for IIMs.

Hey,
For CMAT the cut-off score is 60-63%
and for MAT the cut-off score is 75-78%.
Hope this helps :)

The MAT exam will contain a total of almost 200 marks. There is 1 marks for each question and 0.25 deduction for every wrong question.

You need around 600 in MAT for getting admission in the programme of MBA at NIT Surathkal.
