For candidates appearing for the MAT 2024 exam in December, especially those scheduled for the December 8 CBT session, here are some important guidelines: Ensure you’re clear about your test mode (CBT, PBT, or IBT), as CBT and PBT will be held at designated centers, while IBT allows you to take the test from home. Carry a valid photo ID for verification, arrive early to avoid delays, and ensure you follow the exam timing strictly. Leave behind all electronic devices as they are prohibited. Dress comfortably, avoid carrying unnecessary items, and bring your admit card along with your photo ID. Adhere to any health and safety measures like wearing a mask if required, and follow the instructions given by invigilators. For IBT, ensure your desktop or laptop meets the technical requirements, including a working camera and stable internet connection.

Candidates appearing for the MAT 2024 exam must follow strict guidelines to avoid any issues on the exam day. The exam will be conducted under CCTV surveillance, and failure to adhere to the rules may lead to the cancellation of candidature. Key guidelines include arriving early, carrying a valid photo ID and admit card, and avoiding electronic devices like mobile phones and calculators. Candidates should dress comfortably and avoid unnecessary items. They must follow the instructions of invigilators carefully and comply with any health and safety protocols. Malpractices or any attempts at cheating will result in immediate disqualification.
MAT Exam Day Guidelines – Dos
To prevent crowding at the exam center, each candidate will be assigned an individual reporting time. Be sure to reach the MAT exam center at the reporting time mentioned on your MAT 2024 admit card.
It is essential to carry a color printout of your MAT 2024 admit card and an original photo ID. The admit card can be downloaded from the AIMA MAT website until the exam day, but it is advisable to download it as soon as it’s available to check for any errors and correct them promptly.
All candidates must carry a valid photo ID. Accepted forms of ID include:
- Passport
- Voter ID card
- Aadhaar card
- PAN card
- Driving license
- Employer ID card
- College ID card
At the entry gate, MAT staff will verify your admit card and photo ID, and you will be frisked for security purposes.
Personal belongings such as bags, mobile phones, watches, books, wallets, electronic gadgets, and notebooks are strictly prohibited inside the exam center. Therefore, carry only the necessary items.
Candidates are required to bring a blue ballpoint pen to sign the attendance sheet. For those taking the PBT mode exam, two pens are needed to fill out the OMR sheet.
