I will give MAT in december 2019. Is admission in JIMS still be open at that time?

VIT Business School accepts MAT exam percentile for admission to MBA programme. The MAT Cutoff 2024 is 80 for students belonging to the General All India category. In 2023, the VIT Business School cutoff was 80, and in 2022, it was also the same, at 80.

This trend suggests that the MAT percentile has neither seen much change in cutoff nor competition over the past three years. 

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.
