Amrita School of Business (ASB) has a good reputation and the admission process is highly competitive. The selection process for admission to MBA at ASB is based on various factors such as academic performance, work experience, performance in entrance exams like CAT/MAT/GMAT/XAT/CMAT, and performance in Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI). The minimum required score for MAT to be eligible for admission at ASB is 600. However, there may be some relaxation in the minimum cutoff score for candidates with exceptional academic records or work experience. So, it is difficult to say whether you will be able to get admission to ASB with a MAT score of 529.50. But don't get discouraged by the score you have received. You can still try to improve your profile and performance in other areas such as work experience, academic performance, and GD/PI. Also, you can consider applying to other good B-schools that accept MAT scores in India.
