MAT 2016 May exam result is proposed to be declared by the end of third week in May 2016

To avoid last minute delay in making a choice after declaration of May MAT 2016 result, you can plan and choose the B-school in order of preference on the basis of your performance and expected score in MAT exam

AIMA proposes to declare May MAT 2016 result by May 21 or 22 for admission to MBA/PGDM programmes. In fact MAT 2016 May exam is the last MBA entrance conducted by AIMA for MBA admission in the year 2016. All the future 4 quarterly MAT exams will lead you to the admission in 2017.

Plan B-school before MAT result
To avoid last minute delay in making a choice after declaration of May MAT 2016 result, you can plan and choose the B-school in order of preference on the basis of your performance and expected score in MAT exam.

Since Most of the B schools are running in the last leg of their admission process and if you plan now, you will be able to move a little faster and explore admission opportunity in these B schools with May MAT 2016 scores.

Low MAT score: No worry-other factors to help
Once the MAT 2016 May exam result is declared while the high percentilers may easily choose their B-schools for admission, low percentilers may be worried while searching the available good admission opportunities in MBA/PGDM programmes this year.

But as Prof S K Agarwal, expert on Verbal Ability and mentor on MAT preparation suggest all the MAT 2016 May exam takers that they should not be disappointed even if you get a little low scores as the good B-schools do not only consider your test score in final selection round but also your past academic profile, extra-curricular activities, work experience, academic diversity, gender diversity and award bonus marks for all these achievements. Accordingly, even a low score with all other plus points can result in getting into your dream B-school.

Look for the best options
Candidates are now looking for best MBA options where admission is open for the academic session 2016-17. Many of the MAT score accepting B-schools have announced to keep their admission process open till the result for MAT 2016 May exam is declared by the end of 3rd week this month.

This is probably the first time that the candidates are blessed with a round of good MBA options available to them till next few days in the good B schools accepting MAT 2016 May scores. Accordingly admission opportunities still exist in the B schools who are offering admission in 2016 with MAT 2016 May score.

330 B-schools in AIMA’s list
AIMA has published a list of 330 B schools who would accept MAT scores. Accordingly there is opportunity of admission in many good B schools in India. MAT 2016 May test takers may opt for any of the good options to take admission in MBA 2016 before the last date which would go from last week of May to 2nd week of June 2016.
