Note: The date of Paper Based Test (PBT) coincides with that of IIFT entrance 2018 and the date of Computer Based Test (CBT) coincides with that of SNAP Test 2018. Hence, there is a good chance that the exam dates for MAT will be changed.
MAT has 5 sections, each having forty questions. The total number questions is 200 and they are to be attempted in 150 minutes. The GK score is NOT accounted for in the overall scaled score of 200-800, GK score is reported separately. Thus, practically, the test has 4 sections (160 questions) to be done in 150 minutes.
Following is the test structure.
SECTION | NUMBER OF QUESTIONS | TIME ALLOTTED (in minutes) |
Language comprehension | 40 | 30 |
Mathematical skills | 40 | 40 |
Data analysis and sufficiency | 40 | 35 |
Intelligence and critical reasoning | 40 | 30 |
Indian and Global environment | 40 | 15 |
Total | 200 | 150 |
Note: One does not need to do all the questions to get the maximum score (800), mostly at an attempt of around 105-110 (out of 160 questions which do not include GK) with 90% accuracy gives you 800.
