Can I take admission without appearing for MAT exam?

MAT IBT admit card is the permission letter for Internet Based Test mode. MAT had started IBT mode during COVID 19 pandemic to allow candidates appear for the exam. IBT mode of MAT was discontinued in 2025.

MAT exam is conducted by All India Management Association (AIMA). The examination body conducts the exam to help over 250 plus B Schools shortlist best candidates for their full time MBA programmes.

No, candidates have to appear for MAT exam at the test centre mentioned in their admit card. They will not be allowed to enter any other test centre.

If your MAT admit card has any error, you must reach out to the AIMA helpdesk and get it rectified before the exam.
