MAT 2025 Exam Pattern
All sections in the MAT exam carry equal importance, both in terms of marks and the number of questions. Unlike exams such as CAT, MAT does not have sectional time limits, giving candidates flexibility in managing their time.It is important to plan time allocation wisely across all sections to maintain balance and maximize attempts.A good strategy is to aim for at least two-thirds of the questions in each section to enhance overall scoring potential. Candidates should avoid random guessing, as negative marking applies for incorrect answers.
