• keep in mind that scoring very high in one section and very low in other will affect your total percentile.
• so to have a balance is very essential.

• The quantitative ability of MAT checks your basic knowledge of maths so you need to stick to basics.

• if you carefully interpret the table, or graph in this section, sure maximum marks can be cracked easily in this section and ofcourse this is scoring section too.

• practicing previous papers is the only option and best way to get an idea about this section.

Hello Akshita 

Thanks  for choosing career360.

See I m providing u a formula to calculate the percentile if u are having ur marks with u. So if u want to know how much marks is needed for getting that percentile use that one in reverse.

A simple formula is used to determine the percentile of a candidate-

Formula: Percentile P = ( (N- your rank)/ N) x 100

(Where P stands for percentile and N is the total number of candidates appeared for the exam) (Source: careers360 Team)

After getting getting the marks to be scored calculate the questions according to the marking scheme.

Any query ping me.

Good luck for ur future

Hello Soumadip,

Yes, but only a few of NIT’s accept MAT Score.

Only some NIT’s like NIT Warangal, NIT Silchar take admission through MAT that too for Engineering students only. NIT’s cutoff percentile is very high compared to other B-schools.

A MAT percentile above 93 is considered ideal for admission into NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, and others.

So, different NIT’s have their own criteria for the MBA program because some even consider GMAT, CMAT scores too but all NIT’s accept CAT Score.

Good luck!
