MAT 2013

Updated on: Mar 3, 2013

The Management Aptitude Test (MAT) is an all India level entrance examination for admission into Master of Business Administration (MBA) and postgraduate (PG) diploma programs offered by different institutes in India and abroad. The Centre for Management Services (CMS) of the All India Management Association (AIMA) has been conducting the MAT since 1988.

Management Institutes that offer admission to postgraduate management courses are AICTE (All Indian Council for Technical Education) approved and affiliated to universities for the award of degrees and certificates. MAT has the unique distinction of being the first to be awarded with ISO 9001: 2000 Certification.

MAT has been approved by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India as a national level test since 2003.

MAT is offered in two modes:

  • MAT Online Test/Computer-based Test (CBT)
  • MAT Paper-based Test (PBT)

MAT 2013 Exam Dates

MAT is conducted four times a year - in February, May, September and December. The paper-based MAT is usually conducted on the first Sunday of February, May, September and December from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The computer-based MAT is conducted from the following Saturday onwards. If the number of test takers are limited for the computer-based MAT and can be covered in a single day, then the test takes place only on that Saturday, otherwise the test will continue to be held for more days.

MAT 2013 exam dates have been announced by AIMA:

  • Test Date: 5 May 2013 (Sunday)
  • Test Timings: 10 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
