Hello,

Many educational institutions and web portals provide credit cards through which the candidate can opt for the MBA program without any MAT credit. The courses are mostly available from private universities or web portals through which flexibility regarding methods of admission is available. Besides the common method of entrance exams, admissions might be granted based on prior academic performance, professional experience, or interviews.

Such programs require a lot of student research to ascertain whether one's MBA degree will be valued in the job market. Inconvenience by using a credit card to finance education only matters less when one thinks of interest rates and repayment terms since it may be financially straining. Other institutions also offer the advantage of installing payments for easy access. However, the career prospect and networking exposure could be taken on by going through an MBA from a well-recognized institution with proper entrance requirements like MAT.

Two papers make up the Class 8 NMMS (National Means-cum-Merit Scholarship) exam:


The Mental Ability Test (MAT) measures a person's capacity for critical thought, reasoning, and problem-solving. It covers topics such as pattern recognition, numerical series, classifications, analogies, and more.


The Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT, assesses a candidate's general knowledge as well as their proficiency in science, math, and social studies. It centres on the academic material that students have studied.


While every state may have a unique curriculum and format, both exams usually feature multiple-choice questions (M CQs).

Juee 21 September,2024

The applicability of a caste certificate from another state (West Bengal) for MAT admissions in Hyderabad colleges depends on the specific college's policy.

MAT itself doesn't have specific requirements regarding caste certificates. It's a national-level entrance exam.

Each college sets its own admission criteria, including the format and validity of caste certificates for claiming reservation benefits.

Some colleges in Hyderabad might accept caste certificates from other states like West Bengal, provided they are issued by the competent authority and meet their format requirements. Other colleges might require a caste certificate issued by the competent authority within Telangana (the state where Hyderabad is located).

The best way to know for sure is to directly contact the admissions office of the specific colleges you're interested in Hyderabad. They can clarify their policy on accepting caste certificates from other states for MAT admissions.

Some colleges might mention their reservation policy and required documents on their websites. Check the admissions section for details.
