AIMA Expected to Release MAT September 2026 Results in Early October

Candidates who appeared for the Management Aptitude Test (MAT) in September 2026 are awaiting the official release of their results. While the All India Management Association (AIMA) has not yet confirmed a specific date for the announcement, the scorecards are expected to be available for download by the first week of October 2026.

The examination body typically follows a consistent timeline, releasing results approximately 10 to 14 days after the conclusion of the testing sessions. With the Paper-Based Test (PBT) conducted on September 13 and the Computer-Based Test (CBT) held on September 20, the early October window aligns with the standard processing period for the examination.

Accessing MAT Results and Understanding Scoring

Once the results are declared, the official scorecard will be published exclusively on the AIMA examination website. Candidates will be notified of the availability of their results through individual communication channels, typically via email. It is essential for test-takers to monitor their registered email accounts and the official portal for these updates.

The MAT examination utilizes a unique scoring methodology that differs from many other management entrance tests. Candidates receive scores on a scale ranging from 200 to 800. To provide context for these results, historical data suggests that a composite score between 750 and 800 generally corresponds to a percentile of 98 to 99. Scores in the 700 to 750 range typically reflect a 95 percentile, while scores between 650 and 700 are often associated with the 90th percentile. Those scoring between 550 and 600 generally fall into the 80th percentile, and scores in the 500 to 550 range are typically linked to the 70th percentile.

Next Steps for MBA Aspirants

Following the release of the results, successful candidates can proceed with their applications for admission to various management programs. The MAT score is accepted by over 700 MBA colleges across India, making it a significant gateway for students seeking postgraduate management education. Applicants are encouraged to review the specific admission criteria and percentile thresholds for their preferred business schools once the official scorecards are issued.
