Master's applicants whose bachelor's degree is in Engineering, Commerce / Accounting / Finance / Economics, or Business / Management need a dMAT certificate for their APS certificate, for the Summer Semester 2027 intake or later.
The dMAT has a Core Module (three subtests: Figure Sequences, Mathematical Equations, Latin Squares) and a Subject Module — for APS applicants the General Academic Module. Each takes 90 minutes, with a 30-minute break. It tests applying skills, not memorised facts.
APS India says the dMAT is not a stand-alone pass/fail test for the APS certificate, and a low score does not automatically lead to refusal. The result appears on the APS certificate and each university decides how to weigh it.
