MAT 2027 application fee is ₹2,100 for a single test mode — and this amount is the same for all categories including General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, and PwD.

MAT (Management Aptitude Test) is conducted by AIMA (All India Management Association) four times a year. Unlike most government-run entrance exams, MAT does not offer category-based fee concessions. Your fee depends entirely on how many test modes you register for — not your social category. Understanding this before you apply helps you plan your budget and choose the right mode combination.

  • Single mode (PBT, CBT, or IBT): ₹2,100 (expected for MAT 2027, based on 2026 trends)
  • Two modes in one session: ₹3,300
  • All three modes (PBT + CBT + IBT): ₹4,500
  • No fee waiver for SC/ST, OBC, EWS, or PwD students
  • Payment accepted via Debit Card, Credit Card, Net Banking, and UPI
  • Fee is non-refundable once paid

MAT 2027 Application Fee Structure

AIMA structures MAT fees by test mode, not by student category. The expected MAT 2027 fee is ₹2,100 for a single mode, consistent with the 2025–2026 pattern. Choosing more than one mode in the same session costs less than registering separately for each.

Registration Type Expected Fee for MAT 2027
Single Mode (PBT or CBT or IBT) ₹2,100
Two Modes (any combination) ₹3,300
All Three Modes (PBT + CBT + IBT) ₹4,500

Fee figures above are expected for MAT 2027, based on 2026 trends. AIMA will confirm the exact amount in the official MAT 2027 notification at aima.in.


Category-Wise MAT 2027 Fee Details

MAT does not have category-based fee concessions. There is no reduced or waived fee for SC, ST, OBC, EWS, or PwD students. Every student pays the same fee regardless of reservation category. This is different from exams like JEE Main where fee waivers apply for certain categories.

Category Single Mode Two Modes All Three Modes
General ₹2,100 ₹3,300 ₹4,500
OBC (NCL) ₹2,100 ₹3,300 ₹4,500
SC / ST ₹2,100 ₹3,300 ₹4,500
EWS ₹2,100 ₹3,300 ₹4,500
PwD ₹2,100 ₹3,300 ₹4,500

Mode-Wise Fee Comparison for MAT 2027

MAT 2027 is expected to be offered in three modes. Registering for multiple modes in a single session gives you more attempts to maximise your score at a combined cost lower than separate registrations. Your best score from all attempted modes is shared with participating institutions.

Mode Full Form Test Setting Fee (Single Mode)
PBT Paper-Based Test Exam centre (pen and paper) ₹2,100
CBT Computer-Based Test Designated computer labs ₹2,100
IBT Internet-Based Test Home (remote proctored) ₹2,100

Registering for PBT + IBT costs ₹3,300 — a saving of ₹900 compared to two separate single-mode registrations. Choosing all three modes at ₹4,500 saves ₹1,800 versus three independent registrations.
