Can a student in the 7th semester of a four year degree register for the dMAT before final results, and can APS proceed before dMAT is submitted?

Yes, you can register for the dMAT during your 7th semester using your available mark sheets instead of waiting for final results. APS accepts other documents early, but will not issue your certificate until your dMAT certificate is submitted, so plan your paperwork in parallel.

You can register for the dMAT during your 7th semester and sit for it using your current mark sheets, so you do not have to wait for your final year results. Your APS certificate, however, stays incomplete until you submit the dMAT certificate on top of your academic papers.

Your Step-By-Step Sequence

StageWhat You Do
1. Finish 7th semesterCollect 1st to 7th semester mark sheets
2. Register for dMATBook your slot and pick a test centre
3. Sit the examComplete the test and await your score
4. Submit full APS packetSend transcripts, ID proof, dMAT certificate
5. APS verificationCertificate is issued after full review

Eligibility And Affected Fields

  • You need at least 7 completed semesters of a 4 year degree to register for the dMAT.
  • The test currently applies to Engineering, Computer Science, Business, Management, Finance, Commerce, and Economics backgrounds.
  • Before you book your slot, check your university's recognition status on the Anabin database.

My Advice

Do not wait for your 8th semester results to start this process. Register for the dMAT as soon as your 7th semester marks are in hand, and courier your other academic documents to APS in parallel so your certificate is issued the moment your dMAT score comes through.
