Management Aptitude Test December 03, 2006

Bird’s Eye View

We are pleased to present a detailed analysis of the Management Aptitude Test held on December 03, 2006. This

MAT paper was slightly different from the usual MAT paper. There were no sections and the questions were also on an average, on the tougher side than the usual trend. Those who would have prepared the basics well wouldn't have found any problem in the paper. Since there were no sections, students had the option of attempting questions

according to his/her comfort area. One could emphasize as well as ignore questions of a particular subject.

Questions of general awareness were relatively easy as compared to other sections. Students could have attempted 15 to 20 questions easily. This time in DI-DS section a new varity of DS, i.e three statement daa questions were introduced. This might be new type and problematic part for a few students. Otherwise, questions were of moderate

level.
