Details on MAT Scorecard

Your scorecard for MAT 2026 will display the following information:

The final MAT scores are based on the candidate's performance in the first four sections (Mathematical Skills, Language Comprehension, Intelligence & Critical Reasoning, and Data Analysis & Sufficiency). The scores of the fifth section (Economic & Business Environment) are not considered for MAT composite scores.

Each correct response is given one mark, with a negative marking of 0.25 marks for every wrong attempt. Scores of each section are mapped onto a scale of 0-100, and the final (composite) score is in the range of 199 to 801. MAT percentile is calculated considering the performance of the candidate vs other candidates.

Post the declaration of results, candidates are shortlisted by institutes they registered with, based on their MAT scores/percentile. The shortlisted candidates are screened in Group Discussion (GD), Personal Interview (PI), and Written Ability Test (WAT) rounds. AIMA plays no role in deciding the weightage of each round.

Keep yourself updated, and check the websites or admission prospectus of individual institutes to see their complete admission procedure. Further, remember that MAT scores are valid for 1 year from the date of MAT result declaration, for admission to MBA/PGDM programmes in the MBA colleges accepting MAT scores.

AIMA releases the MAT result to both students and to the participating management institutions.

Once you get to know your result, you can register for more B-schools that still have their applications open. Besides, you can expect calls from different institutes as per your score.
