MAT is held for 200 questions and the exam is to be completed within 150 minutes. There are 5 sections and each section consists of 40 questions. The 5 sections are:

  • Intelligence and Critical Reasoning: Questions related to series and sequences, critical reasoning, data arrangement, blood relations, input-output analysis, direction sense, coding and decoding are asked.
  • Language Comprehension: You have to read the paragraph and answer the questions
  • Mathematics: Questions are related to Arithmetic, Geometry, Business Mathematics.
  • Data Analysis and Sufficiency: Questions are related to data arrangement, blood relations, input-output analysis, direction sense, coding and decoding are asked.
  • Indian and Global Environment: This is a current affairs section and questions will be related to General Knowledge

Every correct answer gives you 1 mark and a wrong answer takes away 0.25 marks due to negative marking. Now to score 90 percentile and above means you should score better than 90 percent of the Candidates who appeared for the exam. And because the no.of Candidates who appear for MAT every session change, we cannot put a number on it. Having said that, we shall try to give you a faint idea. First off, you should act on your strong areas and avoid any wrong answering. Language Comprehension is an easy section if you are good at reading and this is where you can score real good. And next is the General Knowledge and Current affairs section. If not Newspaper, atleast try reading Google News and this section will be easier for you to answer. Then come the remaining sections. If you can aim to answer atleast 20 questions per section correct, you can score 90 percentile and above.
