However, there are many institutes which enjoy a good reputation and accept MAT scores for admissions.

Test Structure:
Last year, the sequence of sections differed for every booklet series; however, the structure in terms of number of questions in every section and the marks allotted to them was the same. The entire paper was a speed as the questions had been asked in straightforward manner and options were very explicit. The ideal time allocation for the sections would be as follows:
Language Comprehension-30 minutes; Indian and Global Environment-15 minutes; Intelligence and Critical Reasoning-30 minutes; Data Interpretation and Sufficiency-35 minutes; Mathematical Skills-40 minutes.
