The All India Management Association (AIMA) is inviting applications for the December 2025 cycle of the Management Aptitude Test (MAT) for MBA and PGDM programmes. Candidates interested in appearing for the exam can now register online through the official website — mat.aima.in.
MAT is the only national-level management entrance exam conducted in two modes — computer-based test (CBT) and paper-based test (PBT). Candidates also have the option to appear for both modes (PBT + CBT) and use their highest score while applying to business schools.
The MAT December 2025 exam will be held across more than 60 cities in India. The MAT December 2025 PBT is scheduled for December 13, while the MAT 2025 CBT will be conducted on December 21.
For the PBT mode, the last date to apply online is December 7. The admit card for this mode will be released on December 10.
For the CBT mode, candidates can register until December 15, and download their admit cards starting December 18.
The registration fee for a single test mode (either CBT or PBT) is Rs 2,200, while candidates opting for both modes (PBT + CBT) need to pay Rs 3,800.
Graduates in any discipline are eligible to apply for MAT. Final-year undergraduate students can also appear for the test. The exam scores are accepted by a wide range of management institutes for MBA and PGDM admissions for the 2026 academic session.
Some of the participating institutes include Vellore Institute of Technology (Vellore), School of Business and Management, CHRIST (Deemed to be University, Bengaluru), NIT Surathkal, Xavier Institute of Management & Entrepreneurship (Chennai), Amrita School of Business (Coimbatore), N. L. Dalmia Institute of Management Studies and Research (Mumbai), Indian Institute of Forest Management (Bhopal), and Jaipuria Institute of Management (Noida), among others.
