How to Apply for MAT 2027: Step-by-Step Process
The MAT 2027 application process is fully online. Follow these six steps to complete your registration without errors.
Step 1: Visit the official AIMA portal
Go to mat.aima.in. On the homepage, click "Register for MAT" or the active session’s registration link displayed on the portal.
Step 2: Create a new AIMA account
First-time users must register before filling any form. Enter your full name, a valid email address, and mobile number. You will receive a verification OTP on your registered mobile. Verify it and set a password to activate your AIMA account.
Step 3: Log in and fill the application form
Log in with your registered credentials and click "Apply for MAT". Fill all required sections of the form:
- Personal details — name, date of birth, gender, and address
- Educational qualifications — 10th, 12th, and graduation details
- Work experience, if applicable
- Choice of test mode: CBT, IBT, PBT, or a combination of modes
- Preferred test city — required for CBT and PBT
Step 4: Upload photograph and signature
Upload a recent passport-size photograph (JPEG, 10–200 KB, white background, taken within the last six months) and your scanned signature (JPEG, 10–100 KB). Both must meet AIMA’s specified format and file size requirements or the upload will be rejected.
Step 5: Pay the application fee
Select your preferred payment method — credit card, debit card, net banking, or UPI — and complete the payment through the AIMA portal. The fee is non-refundable. Save the transaction ID or payment confirmation for your records.
Step 6: Submit and download the confirmation slip
Review all details carefully before clicking submit. Once submitted, download and print the MAT 2027 registration confirmation slip. It contains your form number, registered exam mode(s), and login credentials required to download the admit card later.
