From May 2024, AIMA is introducing MAT 2.0, an evolved version of MAT, which covers newer segments like current business and economic trends. MAT 2.0 is a new-age entrance test that offers a fresh perspective on management education aligned with contemporary industry practices and growing educational requirements.
Daljeet Singh, Director, AIMA, said, “We have received valuable feedback from numerous business schools and stakeholders, urging us to prioritise sections aligning with emerging trends. Consequently, we have made significant adjustments to both the exam questions and structure in consultation with our partner institutions. The advancing landscape of business, driven by the increasing influence of Fintech and technology, has necessitated a paradigm shift in our approach. We are now placing greater emphasis on topics traditionally overlooked in management education, thereby equipping aspiring students with the knowledge and skills essential for success in today’s dynamic business environment.”
