MAT 2024 Result Date: AIMA MAT February normalisation method; how to calculate score?

NEW DELHI: The All India Management Association (AIMA) has announced to declare the Management Aptitude Test (MAT 2024) February session in the third week of March. The association has explained the normalisation method and interpretation of scores.

The AIMA conducts the MAT 2024 exam in three different modes - Internet Based Test (IBT), Paper Based Test (PBT) and CBT. The exam is held four times a year for admission to MBA, PGDM, MMS programmes in recognised management universities and allied institutions.

Candidates who appeared in the computer-based test (CBT) on March 10 will be able to check their scores from the official website, aima.in, using their user ID and password. The MAT score 2024 will be used by around 600 B-schools in India for granting admission to MBA programmes.

How is MAT score 2024 calculated?

As MAT exam 2024 is conducted in multiple sessions, the difficulty-level will slightly vary. “These slight differences are accounted for during the normalization and scaling process. As a result of these adjustments, equal scaled scores represent about the same level of ability, as measured by the test, regardless of the administration or when and in how many sessions the test was conducted,” it said.

As per the exam pattern, the MAT question paper has six sections - language comprehension, mathematical skills, data analysis and sufficiency, intelligence and critical reasoning, and Indian and global environment.

The MAT score card will contain six scores for each section. Language comprehension, mathematical skills, data analysis and sufficiency and intelligence and critical reasoning are reported on scales ranging from 0 to100. Scores below 20 or above 80 are rare.

The composite score is arrived at using the first four sections of the test “only because these sections relate to specific skills that one acquires over a long period of time”. Equal weightage is assigned to all these four sections and calculated on a scale ranging from 199 to 801. Scores below 200 and above 800 are considered uncommon.

The Indian and global environment section is calculated separately and is reported on a scale from 0 to 100. In this section, scores below 20 or above 80 are rare.
