About MAT
MAT is usually conducted four times in a year in February, May, September and December. The minimum qualification to appear in the test is graduation in any discipline from any recognised university. Final-year students are also eligible to take the test provisionally.
MAT contains 200 questions to be answered in 150 minutes. The question paper is divided into five sections (40 questions each), including: language comprehension (LC); data analysis and sufficiency (DI); mathematical skills (QA); intelligence and critical reasoning; and Indian and global environment (GK). According to Wing Commander V S Bejoy, director, Centre for Management Services, All India Management Association, that conducts the test, “There are about 10% to 15% takers for the online version of MAT and the rest go for the paper-pen mode. The trend is likely to change though, in due course of time.” Approximately two lakh students take the MAT every year.
Preparing for MAT
General awareness: Marks from this section are reported separately and are not a part of the overall score of 800.
“However, quite a few b-schools would like you to have good score in this area, so you should not neglect it. Learning questions on static GK like which is the highest, lowest, biggest, shortest, -maximum, minimum, etc from any good reference book will help,” says Vairagkar.
QA, LR, DI and DS: Understand the ¬fundamentals of arithmetic, including ¬numbers, percentages, -averages, profit and loss, time and distance etc.
Algebra topics such as permutation and ¬combination and probability are ¬important too. “You must also ¬master mental calculations. Memorise the tables and squares up to 30 and fractions by heart. Practice short-cut and approximation techniques in DI,” he says.
English language: Build a good vocabulary and its usage by reading books such as Word Power Made Easy by Norman Lewis. Ensure that your basics of grammar are in place. Use Wren and Martin to revise if required.
