  In the context of the late time cosmic acceleration phenomenon, many
geometrically modified theories of gravity have been proposed in recent times.
In this paper, we have investigated the role of a recently proposed extension
of symmetric teleparallel gravity dubbed as f(Q,T) gravity in getting viable
cosmological models, where Q and T respectively denote the non-metricity and
the trace of energy momentum tensor. We stress upon the mathematical
simplification of the formalism in the f(Q,T) gravity and derived the dynamical
parameters in more general form in terms of the Hubble parameter. We considered
two different cosmological models mimicking non-singular matter bounce
scenario. Since energy conditions play a vital role in providing bouncing
scenario, we have analyzed different possible energy conditions to show that
strong energy condition and null energy condition be violated in this theory.
The models considered in the work are validated through certain cosmographic
tests and stability analysis.
