LAST CHECKED AGAINST OFFICIAL SOURCES: 28 JULY 2026

dMAT Updates

Two things only: what g.a.s.t. and APS India have officially changed, and what new preparation material we have released. Dated, sourced, and short. We watch the official pages so you do not have to.

Is the September sitting only for Summer 2027 applicants?

The g.a.s.t. registration portal says the 26 September date is "specifically for" applicants targeting Summer Semester 2027. APS India's page says the dMAT is required for "summer semester 2027 and subsequent intakes". No second date has been announced. The certificate never expires, so sitting in September is the low-risk choice — but the two pages genuinely differ. We have asked both for written clarification and will publish the answer here.
