About the MSAT exam

How the exam works

MSAT here means the Malappuram Sahodaya Aptitude Test run by the Malappuram Sahodaya Schools Complex. SkillStar has School Level and District Level papers from LKG to Class 12, including separate senior-secondary streams. Use the class/stream and level printed on the organiser's paper; question counts, subjects and marking can differ.

Who can apply

Participation is coordinated by participating schools. Ask your school for current class/stream eligibility, school-level selection and any district-level qualification requirements.

When it happens

A next 2026–27 School Level or District Level date could not be verified. The organiser's accessible MSAT resources page still shows 2025–26 materials. Do not treat old paper dates as the next exam. Checked 1 November 2026.

How to register

Contact your school's MSAT coordinator for the current circular, fee, last date, venue and registration. No open individual application window or current fee was verified.

Official website, syllabus and sample papers

Use the organiser's MSAT page for class-wise syllabus, papers and answer keys. The existing 2025–26 syllabus on SkillStar is retained as labelled; it is not being represented as a newly issued 2026–27 syllabus.
