MAT May 2026 CBT Result: Expected Date

AIMA typically releases results 10–15 days after the exam date. Based on that pattern:

EventExpected Timeline
MAT CBT Exam DateJune 14, 2026
Result Declaration (CBT)June 28 – July 5, 2026
Combined Scorecard (all modes)Last week of June / Early July 2026
Score Validity12 months from result date

Remember: AIMA does not pre-announce result dates. There is no SMS or email notification. You must check your dashboard at mat.aima.in manually from June 28, 2026 onwards.


What is the MAT CBT Mode?

The Computer-Based Test (CBT) is a centre-based, computer-administered version of the MAT exam. Unlike IBT (Internet-Based Test taken from home), the CBT requires you to visit an AIMA-designated test centre, but you respond on a computer screen rather than a paper sheet.

Key details about MAT CBT:

  • Exam Centre: Designated AIMA CBT centres across India
  • Duration: 2.5 hours (150 minutes)
  • Total Questions: 150 MCQs
  • Sections: Language Comprehension (30), Intelligence & Critical Reasoning (30), Mathematical Skills (30), Data Analysis & Sufficiency (30), Indian & Global Environment (30)
  • Marking Scheme: +1 for correct, −0.25 for incorrect
  • Composite Score: Out of 800 (IGE section NOT included in composite)

How to Check MAT May 2026 CBT Score: Step-by-Step

Once AIMA publishes the CBT result, here is exactly how to access your scorecard:

Step 1: Open the Official AIMA MAT Portal

Go directly to mat.aima.in. This is the one and only official website for MAT results. Avoid any other website or app claiming to show results early.

Step 2: Click "Candidate Login"

On the homepage, find the Candidate Login button. Click it to proceed to the login page.

Step 3: Log In with Your Registered Credentials

Enter:

  • Email ID — the one used when you registered for MAT May 2026
  • Password — your account password

Forgot your password? Use the "Forgot Password" link and reset it via your registered email. Do this now if you're unsure — don't scramble on result day.

Step 4: Navigate to Your Dashboard

After login, your candidate dashboard will display your profile and active exam records. Once the CBT result is released, you will see a Scorecard / Result section appear.

Step 5: View and Download Your Scorecard

  • Click Download Scorecard
  • Your PDF will contain your section-wise scores, composite score, and percentile
  • Save and print at least 2–3 copies for college applications and personal records
