Exam Resources
  
 
 

Overview

The members of Association of Indian Management Schools (AIMS) have for long felt the need for a high quality test, the scores of which can be used in their admission process, as a reliable predictor of academic performance in post-graduate management programmes. In response to this need, AIMS offers the AIMS Test for Management Admissions (ATMA), as a credible, comprehensive and single-window test for admissions to different postgraduate management programmes. The administration and scoring is professionally done, and the results obtained are item-analysed by a faculty team to ensure discriminating validity of the items, and of the test as a whole. This has been an ongoing process over the last six years, so that it can be claimed that the ATMA scores supplied are highly dependable indicators of the candidate’s suitability for management education and career. The candidates will be supplied with the percentile scores in comprehension, verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, analysing and synthesizing ability.

ATMA has been approved by the Ministry of Human Resource Development of the Government of India for admission on All India Basis to the MBA / PGDM and other Postgraduate Programmes like MCA.

This year ATMA will be on February 20, 2011.

Note: Sections may come in any order.

Each multiple–choice question is followed by four answers numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4. You have to choose
   the correct or best answer from these four choices and then darken the corresponding oval in the answer
   sheet

The questions in this Test are numbered serially starting at 1 and ending at 170. Start answering from the
   first question of each section and proceed serially.

Clear familiarity with the directions and questions is necessary. It is important to read the directions for
   each set of questions carefully.

In case you find a mistake in the framing of the 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.

Time should be allotted wisely within the limits given. On an average, there will be about one minute
   available for each question in verbal skills, and just one minute in each question in Analytical Reasoning
   Skills, and Quantitative Skills.

ATMA has been designed as a standard, benchmark Test with high quality and academic rigour. ATMA
   scores are useful in determining a candidate’s relative position in the whole test population. 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 the more 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. Any violation of this
   rule will result in disciplinary action and even cancellation of your result.

All the necessary instructions and guidelines will be given in the Test Booklet itself.
