| APS | dMAT | TestAS | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Document verification | Master's aptitude assessment | Undergraduate aptitude assessment |
| Mandatory status | Yes (for all requiring APS) | Only for selected Master's applicants | Only if required by a university |
| Target level | Visa & document process | Master's | Bachelor's |
| Conducting body | APS India | g.a.s.t. | g.a.s.t. |
One test, two scored modules — a common core plus a module tailored to your discipline.
Tailored to your bachelor's discipline.
The dMAT rewards reasoning, not recall. Prepare accordingly.
Scores run roughly 0–200 with a mean near 100 — higher indicates stronger aptitude relative to peers.
