The ATMA Answer Key and post-examination evaluation process is administered by the Association of Indian Management Schools (AIMS). Because ATMA is conducted as an automated Computer-Based Test (CBT), the evaluation of objective multiple-choice responses is executed through an encrypted computerized scoring pipeline.

Official Answer Key & Assessment Norms

• Standardized Scoring System: Unlike open government recruitment exams, AIMS does not publish a provisional answer key or candidate response sheet for public challenge. The computer-based test responses are automatically graded against the master answer key verified by subject experts.
• Memory-Based Answer Keys: Following each exam shift, leading management educators and coaching academies release memory-based answer solutions and sectional reviews. Candidates can review these unofficial keys to estimate their expected performance.
• Mark Verification Request: In exceptional scenarios where a candidate suspects an error, AIMS allows candidates to request score verification by submitting a formal application to the AIMS office along with a prescribed administrative fee within seven days of result declaration.

Formula to Calculate Your ATMA Estimated Raw Score

Candidates can calculate their estimated raw score across all 6 sections using the standard ATMA scoring formula:

ATMA Raw Score = (Total Correct Answers × 1) - (Total Incorrect Answers × 0.25)

Example: If a candidate attempts 140 questions with 120 correct answers and 20 incorrect answers:
Raw Score = (120 × 1) - (20 × 0.25) = 120 - 5 = 115 Marks out of 180.
