Why MAT Exam Scores are Important? 

The MAT exam matters for MBA admissions because it serves as a national level entrance test accepted by 600+ business schools across India. It helps institutes evaluate a candidate’s aptitude in areas like reasoning, data interpretation and language. Performing well in MAT enhances your prospects of admission to good MBA or PGDM courses particularly if you seek multiple college choices other than tests such as CAT or XAT.
