You can check your MAT September 2026 application status by logging into the AIMA portal at mat.aima.in with your Application ID and password — a status of "Registration Confirmed" means your application is complete and your fee payment is accepted.
AIMA (All India Management Association) has opened registrations for MAT September 2026, with the Paper Based Test (PBT) scheduled for September 13, 2026 and the Computer Based Test (CBT) scheduled for September 20, 2026. After submitting your form and paying the fee, verifying your application status on the AIMA portal ensures no pending step remains before your admit card is released. The last date to register for PBT is September 7, 2026 and for CBT is September 14, 2026.
- Log in at mat.aima.in with your Application ID and password (default: date of birth in DDMMYYYY format).
- A status of "Registration Confirmed" means AIMA has accepted your form and fee — no further action is needed from your end.
- MAT September 2026 is offered in three modes: PBT (September 13), CBT (September 20), and IBT (remote proctored internet-based test).
- The registration fee is Rs 2,300 for one mode (PBT or CBT) and Rs 4,000 for both PBT and CBT.
- If your status shows "Payment Pending" even after 48 hours, email AIMA at mat@aima.in with your transaction ID as proof of payment.

What Each MAT September 2026 Application Status Message Means
The AIMA portal uses specific status labels at each stage of the registration process. The table below explains what each status means and what you should do next.
| Status Message | Meaning | Next Step |
|---|---|---|
| Application Submitted | Form submitted successfully but fee payment is not yet completed | Pay the registration fee before the deadline to avoid losing your slot |
| Payment Pending | AIMA has not received your fee payment | Retry payment or contact AIMA at mat@aima.in with your transaction ID |
| Payment Under Process | Payment initiated at the gateway but not yet reflected in the system | Wait 24 to 48 hours — the status will update automatically once payment is received |
| Registration Confirmed | Application accepted and fee payment received by AIMA | No further action needed — download your confirmation letter and await the admit card |
| Application Incomplete | One or more required fields or document uploads are missing | Log in and complete all sections highlighted as pending before the registration deadline |
"Registration Confirmed" is the only status that guarantees you will receive a MAT September 2026 admit card. Any other status requires action before the respective deadline.
Details Required to Check MAT September 2026 Application Status
Keep the following information ready before you open the AIMA candidate login page:
- Application ID or Registration Number — sent to your registered email address immediately after you submitted the MAT application form.
- Password — set by you during registration. The default is your date of birth in DDMMYYYY format if you have not updated it.
- Registered Email ID — used to reset your password via the "Forgot Password" link on the login page.
- Registered Mobile Number — may be required for OTP-based verification on the AIMA portal during login or password reset.
If you cannot find your Application ID, search your inbox for an email from AIMA with a subject line containing "MAT Registration" or "MAT September 2026 Application". Check your spam or promotions folder if the email is not in your primary inbox.
What to Do After MAT September 2026 Registration Is Confirmed
Once your portal status shows Registration Confirmed, take the following steps to stay prepared for exam day:
- Download your registration confirmation letter from the dashboard immediately and save both a printed and digital copy.
- Verify all personal details — name, date of birth, photograph, and signature — on the confirmation letter. If any detail is incorrect, email AIMA at mat@aima.in at the earliest to request a correction.
- Note your exam mode and centre details — PBT students should confirm their selected city among the 54 available test cities; CBT students should note centre information; IBT students should ensure a stable internet connection and a distraction-free environment at home.
- Register for an additional exam mode if required — AIMA allows you to add another mode (PBT, CBT, or IBT) by paying a supplementary fee before the relevant mode’s registration window closes (PBT: September 7; CBT: September 14).
- Watch for the MAT September 2026 admit card — AIMA releases it on the official portal approximately one to two weeks before the exam. Download it as soon as it goes live; it is mandatory for entry to the exam hall.
