Yes, candidates can apply to GIBS Business School, Bangalore, using only MAT scores for admission to the PGDM or MBA course. GIBS accepts MAT as one of the approved national-level entrance examinations for the purpose of shortlisting students. Students who have a valid MAT score, as per the eligibility criteria of the institute, can apply directly without requiring any further entrance tests. However, after shortlisting based on the MAT scores, applicants must still undergo the Group Discussion and Personal Interview rounds, which are an integral part of the final selection process.

No, MAT is not compulsory for the admission process in MBA or PGDM courses offered at ICBM-SBE. The institute uses a number of national-level entrance examinations such as CAT, XAT, CMAT, ATMA, GMAT, and MAT for multiple qualifying opportunities. This flexibility gives students with diverse academic and test-based backgrounds equal opportunities to apply. While a valid entrance exam score is mandatory, candidates are free to submit scores from any of the accepted tests-not just MAT-as part of the selection process.

Yes, you can get admission to the MBA programme at AURO University with a valid MAT score. The university accepts MAT besides other recognised entrance examinations such as CAT, CMAT, XAT, and GMAT for admissions to its MBA programs. This is because AURO University aims to provide an opportunity to students from varied academic and testing backgrounds, providing flexibility in its selection process. A valid MAT score, combined with a good academic record and performance in the personal interview, can help secure a seat in their MBA program.

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.
