MAT Exam Paper Analysis 2026

The MAT Exam Analysis 2026 will be updated after candidates share their experience of today's paper. The analysis will cover the overall difficulty, section-wise difficulty, lengthy or time-consuming areas and questions that candidates found easier or more challenging.

The table will be updated after verified student reactions are available.

MAT Difficulty Level 2026

The MAT Difficulty Level 2026 will be assessed after the PBT examination. Student feedback will be used to determine whether the paper was easy, moderate or difficult and which sections required more time.

Note: The PBT difficulty level should not be treated as the exact difficulty level of the September CBT paper. The CBT is scheduled separately for September 20.

MAT Section-Wise Analysis 2026

The MAT Section-Wise Analysis 2026 will provide a detailed review of all five sections asked in the September PBT paper - Language Comprehension, Intelligence and Critical Reasoning, Mathematical Skills, Data Analysis and Sufficiency, and Economic and Business Environment. The analysis will look at the nature of questions, important topics, calculation or reading time involved, and the overall difficulty of each section. Since the MAT paper has 30 questions from each section, the balance between accuracy and time management is important while assessing the paper. The section-wise review will be updated based on candidate reactions and questions recalled after today's examination, giving candidates appearing for the September CBT a clearer idea of the PBT paper.
