Application procedure step-by-step
Follow these steps exactly as shown in the ATMA registration flow:
- Receive your Personal Identification Number (PID) — register on the AIMS/ATMA portal to get your PID.
- Upload documents & pay fee — upload required documents (photo/signature/IDs) and pay the ATMA registration fee of ₹2,000. (Use the secure payment gateway and save the receipt.)
- Fill the application form — complete personal, academic and contact details, select preferred test city and institutes you wish to apply to.
- Print your admit card — after registration and payment, download and print the admit card when it becomes available.
Exam day essentials & rules
- Bring printed admit card, passport-size photo (same as uploaded) and an original photo ID (Aadhaar / Passport / Driving licence / Voter ID).
- Arrive at the test centre early; late entry may be denied.
- Electronic devices, bags and calculators are usually not allowed — follow centre rules on the admit card.
Short 6-week ATMA prep plan
- Week 1: Take a diagnostic test to identify weak areas; build a daily 60–90 minute routine.
- Weeks 2–3: Strengthen fundamentals — practice topic-wise (Quant & Verbal).
- Weeks 4–5: Timed sectional practice and full-length mocks (1–2 per week). Analyze mistakes and maintain an error log.
- Week 6: Revision, light mocks and exam-day strategy (time allocation, question selection rules).
Daily habit: 60–120 minutes of focused practice + one timed mini-test.
ATMA score alone doesn’t guarantee calls — profile factors (academics, experience, statement) and smart institute selection matter. We help students turn ATMA percentiles into admission opportunities:
