How to Check MAT May 2026 IBT Score: Step-by-Step
Once AIMA releases your IBT result, here's exactly how to access it:
Step 1: Open the AIMA MAT Official Portal
Visit mat.aima.in. This is the only official portal for MAT scorecards. Any other website claiming to show your IBT result is unreliable.
Step 2: Log In to Candidate Portal
Click "Candidate Login" on the homepage. Enter:
- Registered Email ID (used at time of MAT registration)
- Password
Lost your password? Use "Forgot Password" → enter your registered email → reset via the link sent to your inbox. Do this before result day to avoid delays.
Step 3: Access Your Candidate Dashboard
Your dashboard shows all your active MAT registrations. Once your IBT result is published, a Result / Scorecard option will appear for that exam slot.
Step 4: View Your IBT Scorecard
Click on the Scorecard section to view:
- Section-wise raw scores (LC, ICR, MS, DA, IGE)
- Composite Score (out of 800)
- Percentile
- Exam date and slot details
Step 5: Download and Save the PDF
- Click Download Scorecard to save the PDF
- Print 2–3 copies — one for records, one for each college you apply to
- Store it in a safe digital folder — you'll need it multiple times during the admission process
Understanding Your MAT IBT Scorecard
| Field | Details |
|---|---|
| Test Mode | Internet-Based Test (IBT) |
| Exam Date | Your specific IBT slot date (May 2026) |
| Section Scores | LC, ICR, MS, DA, IGE (individually listed) |
| Composite Score | Out of 800 — only LC + ICR + MS + DA counted |
| Percentile | Your relative rank across all MAT May 2026 test-takers |
| Score Validity | 12 months from declaration date |
Key Detail: MAT IBT percentile is calculated by comparing your score against all candidates who appeared in the same May session (PBT + CBT + IBT combined). Your mode does not affect how percentile is calculated.

IBT vs PBT vs CBT — Which Mode Results Come First?
IBT candidates often get their results faster because scores are automatically generated on server submission:
| Mode | Exam Date | Expected Result |
|---|---|---|
| IBT (early slots) | May 1–15, 2026 | June 10–15, 2026 |
| IBT (late slots) | May 16–31, 2026 | June 20–25, 2026 |
| PBT | May 31, 2026 | June 14–20, 2026 |
| CBT | June 14, 2026 | June 28 – July 5, 2026 |
Advantage: IBT candidates can get their scorecard 2–3 weeks earlier than CBT candidates, giving them a head start in college applications — especially useful since most MAT-accepting colleges run rolling admissions.
Tips for IBT Candidates: Using Your Score Strategically
1. Apply Early — You Have a Head Start
IBT results come first. Use this window to apply to your target colleges before PBT/CBT candidates flood applications.
2. Verify Proctoring Flag Status
If your IBT session had any technical issues (disconnection, camera flags), check your dashboard for any proctoring alerts. If your scorecard appears normally, you're clear.
3. Use the MAT Score for Multiple Admission Cycles
Your score is valid for 12 months. If you're targeting the 2026-28 batch but don't find a satisfactory college, you can re-use this score for some institutes in early 2027.
