Initial Exam Analysis and Difficulty Level

Preliminary feedback from candidates suggests that the ATMA 2026 exam followed its traditional pattern of 180 questions spread across six sections. Each section was timed for 30 minutes. Students reported that while the Verbal Skills sections were relatively easy to moderate, the Quantitative Skills sections were quite calculation-heavy and time-consuming.

The analysis provided by educational experts indicates that the Analytical Reasoning section featured a mix of arrangement-based puzzles and critical reasoning questions. Most students found this section to be of moderate difficulty. The marking scheme remains strict, with +1 mark for every correct answer and a negative marking of -0.25 for every incorrect response.

What’s Next for Candidates?

Once the results are out on February 28, the scores will be sent to the five institutions that candidates selected during their registration. These scores are valid for admission to various PGDM, MBA, MCA, and MMS programs. Over 200 management institutes across India accept ATMA 2026 scores for their selection process.

Students are advised to keep a printed copy of their scorecard, as it is a mandatory document for the Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI) rounds. For those who may not be satisfied with their February performance, AIMS conducts the exam four times a year. The registration for the next session in May is expected to begin shortly after the February results are declared.
