A raw score of 27 out of 150 in MAT 2026 is very low and will likely translate to a very low composite score, percentile, and 17,000–22,000 rank range (bottom tier), far below typical cutoffs.
Generally, a composite score above ~400+ (or percentiles in the 80–90+ range) is considered competitive for good MBA college shortlists, so 27 won’t be considered a “good” score in the exam.

The MAT CBT admit card 2026 has not yet been released; AIMA is scheduled to issue the CBT admit card on March 5, 2026 (with the PBT admit card to be released on February 26, 2026), ahead of the CBT exam on March 8, 2026.
 

Yes, scoring 70% in MAT (around the 70 percentile range) is considered decent, but it may not be enough for top-tier MBA colleges.

A 70 percentile in MAT can help you get calls from mid-tier MBA colleges.
