Exam Details and Centers

The ATMA test contains 200 questions spread over three sections. Each section is timed separately. Total time for the test is 3 hours. The questions cover Quantitative skills (70 questions and time allotted is 60 minutes), Verbal skills (70 questions and time allotted is 60 minutes) and Analytical skills (60 questions and the time allotted is 60 minutes). The test is held twice a year, usually in February and May.

ATMA scores are useful in determining a candidate's performance in whole test population. Some important points should be kept in mind before attending the test. All the students taking the ATMA test should present themselves at the examination hall at least 30 minutes before the commencement of the test. It is important to read the directions for each set of questions carefully. Each multiple-choice question is followed by four answers, you have to choose the correct one. Time should be allotted wisely within the limits given. On an average, there will be less than one minute available to answer each question. Start answering from the first question of each section and proceed serially. In case you find a mistake in the framing of a question or the answer-choices given or both, you need not waste your time on them. You will be given credit for any such question. A candidate is not expected to answer all questions, within the specified time frame. You are advised to proceed through the test at an even pace, skipping difficult questions, wherever necessary. You can return to the unanswered questions later, within the time specified for each section. If you wish to review your answers in a section, you can do so only in that section within the time limit. You cannot answer any other section (s) or read any other sections (s), backward or forward, as the case may be. Violation of the instructions or any unethical practice will disqualify the candidate. The decision of the supervisor in this regard will be final.

Exam preparation- ATMA seeks to measure the aptitude of the student for higher management education. Such an aptitude in a person is typically shaped and developed over a long period of time and cannot be altered in a short time frame. Hence, preparation for ATMA cannot be similar to that of university examinations. However, familiarity with aptitude tests and speed can be improved with diligent and regular preparation. AIMS does not recommend any particular preparatory course or training for ATMA, though these may be effective in varying degrees.
