The MAT September 2026 application correction window lets students fix specific details in their submitted form — but fields like name, date of birth, and category are permanently locked after submission.
AIMA opens a short correction window after the MAT September 2026 registration deadline closes. During this period, students can fix errors in test mode preference, city selection, and the list of B-schools to receive scores. Once the window shuts, no further edits are accepted under any circumstances, so acting within the given dates is critical.
- The MAT September 2026 correction window is expected to open around July 13, 2026, based on the session registration schedule.
- Students can change test mode (PBT/CBT/IBT), test city, test date, and test slot during this period.
- Name, date of birth, gender, category, registered email ID, and mobile number cannot be changed after form submission.
- A separate fee may apply for changes to test mode — for example, upgrading from PBT to IBT.
- All corrections must be completed through the official AIMA portal at mat.aima.in.

What is the MAT September 2026 Correction Window?
The correction window is a time-bound facility offered by AIMA after the MAT September 2026 application form closes. It gives students a second chance to fix factual errors or update preferences before the admit card is generated. Without this window, errors in your submitted form would carry forward to your MAT scorecard and MBA admission documents.
AIMA typically keeps the correction window open for 3 to 7 days. This is not a re-registration — only fields classified as editable can be updated. Attempting to change a locked field through the portal will not work, regardless of the reason. Students should not wait hoping the system will allow it after the window closes.

Fields You Can Edit in the MAT 2026 Application Form
AIMA allows changes to operational and preference-based fields during the correction window. These are the fields most likely to contain errors or require updates after initial registration.
| Field | Can Be Changed? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Test Mode (PBT / CBT / IBT) | Yes | Additional fee may apply for mode upgrades |
| Test City or Centre Preference | Yes | Subject to seat availability in the chosen city |
| Test Date and Slot | Yes | Applicable for CBT and IBT modes only |
| B-schools to Report Scores To | Yes | You can add, remove, or replace institutes in your list |
| Work Experience Details | Yes | Years of experience and organisation name can be updated |
| Academic Percentage Details | Yes | Corrections to graduation percentage are permitted |
| Photograph and Signature | Yes | Only if the previously uploaded image was rejected by the system |
If you switch test mode from PBT to IBT or CBT, complete the additional payment within the correction window itself. Unpaid mode changes will not be confirmed and your original mode selection will remain active.
Fields That Cannot Be Changed After Submission
Certain fields are permanently locked the moment you submit the MAT September 2026 application form. These are identity-linked details that AIMA uses for verification at the exam centre and during the MBA admission process. No exception is made for these fields even during the correction window.
| Locked Field | Why It Cannot Be Changed |
|---|---|
| Full Name | Must match government-issued ID proof; printed on admit card and scorecard |
| Date of Birth | Used for identity verification at the exam centre |
| Gender | Linked to registration records and seat allocation |
| Category (General / OBC / SC / ST / PWD) | Determines the application fee structure and eligibility |
| Registered Email ID | Primary login credential used for all official AIMA communications |
| Registered Mobile Number | OTP-linked; tied to your AIMA account |
| Nationality | Required for eligibility verification |
If your name has a spelling error or your date of birth is entered incorrectly, you must contact AIMA directly through their official helpdesk. Such cases are handled offline and require supporting documents. The online correction portal does not process these requests.
