Calculation of percentile: utilize the score

Calculation of percentile in MAT is based on the score of 4 out of 5 components of Entrance test. 200 questions carry 1 mark each with negative marking. The maximum score of 200 in MAT is taken as the composite score of 800 on a scale of 1 to 100. Cut off score in the B schools would imply the selection would be made if other parameters are also the same. For example if there are 10 students with the same score are applying to a B school and only 4 seats are vacant, the candidate with better profile, work experience, higher age and gender diversity will be given preference.

Candidates who have scored 500+ may expect a good B school, if they are quick to react and apply to the preferred B schools from the following list according to their scores.

However, before applying to B schools in Maharashtra the candidates should cross check the website of the respective B school as well as the DTE Maharashtra site regarding the acceptance of MAT scores. A few B schools in Maharashtra like JBIMS have stopped accepting MAT scores. The applicants should search for applying in these B schools where MAT scores are accepted.
