ATMA is the AIMS Test for Management Admissions. It is conducted in multiple sessions, but a candidate must check which ATMA session and score a target institute accepts.
What this exam or admission route is
ATMA assesses aptitude for postgraduate management admission. Applying for ATMA does not automatically apply to every institute using the score.
Who can apply
A bachelor’s degree or final-year status is generally relevant, but candidates must verify the current ATMA bulletin and each institute’s separate programme eligibility.
Exam or selection structure
- Analytical reasoning skills
- Verbal skills
- Quantitative skills
- Sections may appear in multiple parts; confirm duration and marking from the live bulletin
How to apply
