Hii,

No, not all MBA programs require these tests. These are merely entrance exams that are accepted by a lot of universities. Depending on the college you wish to attend, you can take any of them (such as MAH CET, MAT, XAT, GMAT, CMAT, or ATMA).

Additionally, some universities have entrance exams of their own. Therefore, for the majority of MBA admissions, you only need to take one appropriate exam. To find out which tests the college accepts, always visit their website.

Yes, there will be an ATMA admission exam in 2025.  The next ATMA exam will be administered via computer on June 1, 2025.  The June session is now accepting registrations, which will end on May 20, 2025.  In India, the ATMA test is administered several times a year for admission to MBA programs and associated fields.

Unfortunately, you are not eligible for a TFWS seat in Maharashtra if you haven't appeared for the MHT-CET.

Key Reasons:

* Mandatory Entrance Exam: MHT-CET is the primary entrance exam for admissions to various undergraduate courses in Maharashtra.

* Merit Determination: Your eligibility for a TFWS seat, even with Maharashtra domicile and Type A candidature, is primarily determined by your rank in the MHT-CET.

* Seat Allocation Process: The seat allocation process in Maharashtra is based on the merit list generated from the MHT-CET scores.

While you cannot avail a TFWS seat in Maharashtra through ATMA, you might explore the following options:

* Other State Quota: If you meet the eligibility criteria of another state, you can attempt their state-level entrance exam and apply for admission there.

* Management Quota: Some colleges offer admissions through management quotas. However, these seats usually come with a higher fee.

* Other Entrance Exams: Explore other national-level entrance exams like CAT, GMAT, etc., for management courses.

I hope this information helps.
