MAT Legacy Papers (1996-2006)

The 1996-2006 Entrance Exams for Mathematics served as the foundation for the modern MAT. With an identical format, these exams are an excellent resource for students who start their preparation early and may exhaust the more recent MAT past papers. The 2001 paper is nearly identical to the 2000 paper, with the exception of one question in the long-answer section. The 1999 paper is not available. Detailed solutions and comprehensive guides are provided for these legacy papers. While the syllabus for these older exams slightly differs from the modern MAT, the majority of the questions remain highly relevant. Relevance Checkers and Answer Keys To help students identify which questions are still useful for modern MAT preparation, "relevance checkers" have been developed. These tools highlight outdated questions or those with minor details that require attention. Additionally, free answer keys for the multiple-choice section (Question 1) of each exam are available, making these resources incredibly valuable for students during their preparation.
