Official website
https://www.atmaaims.comATMA is a decades-old MBA/PGDM entrance exam run by the Association of Indian Management Schools (AIMS), accepted by 300+ B-schools nationwide, mostly as an alternative low-cost/low-prep-overhead route alongside CAT/XAT/CMAT. Distinctively, AIMS runs ATMA several times a year (2026 alone had sessions in February, May, July, and August) rather than once, so a candidate who misses one window has another within a few months.

Sections
Runs as multiple sessions per year; a candidate can retake a later session in the same admission cycle.
Each participating institute runs its own shortlisting and Group Discussion/Personal Interview process using the ATMA score - no single shared national counselling process.
The official notification for this cycle hasn’t been released yet, so there’s nothing to verify against - everything above is an estimate based on past years. Always confirm on the official website once it’s released.
