What is the exam mode of MAT?

<p>The MAT (Management Aptitude Test) is characterized by diverse features that define its structure and evaluation process. The examination offers flexibility through three distinct modes: Computer Based Test (CBT), Paper Based Test (PBT), and Internet Based Test (IBT). With a total duration of 150 minutes, MAT comprises five sections, namely Language Comprehension, Data Analysis &amp; Sufficiency, Mathematical Skills, Intelligence &amp; Critical Reasoning, and Indian &amp; Global Environment. In total, there are 200 questions evenly distributed across these sections, with 40 questions in each. The scoring system is meticulous, granting one mark for every correct response while imposing a penalty of -0.25 for each incorrect entry. Importantly, candidates are encouraged to approach the examination strategically, as leaving a question unattempted results in a score of zero. This comprehensive framework ensures a thorough assessment of candidates' skills and knowledge across various domains.</p>

MAT exam is conducted in three modes - Paper Based Test or PBT in which candidates have to report to a test centre to take the test. They have to fill an OMR answer sheet with a blue/black ball point pen in the PBT mode exam. The PBT mode is conducted only once in every MAT phase as the number of applicants is least for PBT. In the Computer Based Test or CBT, candidates have to take the test at designated exam centre on a computer system. Candidates have to fill in their answers in an online test page with the help of computer mouse. They can choose only one of the four given options as answer. In the Internet Based Test or IBT, candidates have to take the test on a computer system at home or any preferred location. The test structure is same as CBT but the candidates are monitored in remote proctored mode. Since MAT exam is conducted multiple times in a year during February, May, September and December, one can take the exam in more than one mode. Candidate can also take the test any number of times. The score of the latest MAT attempt will be taken into consideration for admission.
