    Hello!
    Choose to give those entrance exams which your choice of college(s) accept; s simple as that! Though it's always better to give 2-3 exams as a backup.

    You can give the numbers of exam you want. It is good that you have already planned for CAT and SNAP but go for other options too. If you have score well in any exam, you have chances for good colleges. I will suggest you to go for others exams too, as you don't have to do separate study for these exams, as pattern for exams are not that different.

No, MAT scores are not compulsory for admissions to the PGDM course at ICBM-SBE, because the college also considers several other entrance exam scores for admissions to the PGDM course. The names of the accepted entrance exams are-  CAT/ XAT/ CMAT/ ATMA/ MAT/ GMAT/ State level entrance test. Thus, applicants with valid scores in MAT can get admission to the PGDM course. However, it is not compulsory.

If you make an error in the educational qualifications section of the MAT form, you can typically make amends during the official correction period offered by AIMA. The correction period is open for a short time after the submission of the application. You can log in with your MAT account and edit the form, but not every field is editable, so check before you submit. If the correction period has closed, then you can contact AIMA support, but changes will not be guaranteed. It is always a good idea to save a copy of your original form for your reference.
