This entry describes the Management Aptitude Test conducted by the All India Management Association, a national level entrance examination used by business schools for admission to MBA and allied postgraduate management programmes. It is an admission test, not a scholarship, and it carries no award, stipend or fee concession. The examination has been offered in paper based and computer based modes, and participating institutes use the scores for their own admission processes, so a good score opens applications rather than guaranteeing a seat. The record here relates to a past test cycle, so the modes, the schedule and the list of participating institutes will have changed since. Current test dates, the fee, the score validity and the announced closing date are published on the official association website.

As an entrance examination, the conditions govern who may appear rather than who receives support. Candidates are generally expected to be graduates in any discipline from a recognised university, and students in the final year of a bachelor degree are usually permitted to appear provisionally, subject to completing the degree before admission. The association itself does not normally prescribe an age limit, but each participating business school sets its own admission requirements, including the minimum score it accepts, so candidates should read the criteria of the institutes they intend to apply to alongside the test bulletin.

Candidates should register through the official All India Management Association website for the current test cycle. The usual process is to create an account, complete the registration form with personal and academic details, choose the test mode and preferred centre, list the management institutes to which scores should be sent, pay the examination fee online and download the confirmation. The admit card is released online before the test date. Registration must be completed before the announced closing date, and candidates should check the current fee, the available test modes and the score reporting rules in the official bulletin rather than relying on older notices.
