Modification in the Scheme of Testing
• The SAT and MAT will have 100 questions each in place of 90.
• Each question will carry 1 mark. The total marks will be 100 for each test.
• Minimum qualifying marks will be 40% i.e. 40 marks for general category.
• Minimum qualifying marks for reserved categories will be 32% i.e. 32 marks.
• The duration of the tests will remain the same i.e. 90 minutes each.
• For first 90 questions in both SAT and MAT, the candidates have to put a cross mark
(X) on the number of the correct alternative on the answer sheet against the
corresponding question. For questions 91-100, the answers are to be written in the
given space in the answer sheet.
• In SAT the first 90 items are divided into three areas : 35 for Science, 20 for
Mathematics and 35 for Social Science. However, no separate sections are given in
the test. The last 10 questions are mixed from different subjects.
