CAT REPLACES JMET IN IIT & IISC | Joint Management Entrance Test 2011 UPDATES
Saturday 27 August 2011
IIT and IISc have withdrawn the JMET -Joint Management Entrance Test used for admitting students into management studies and have replaced it with the CAT. Indian Institutes of Technology Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee, and Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore will use CAT scores in student selection process for MBA and M. Mgmt programmes from the 2012 academic year. JMET was similar to CAT and 40,000 candidates taking this test every year.
Candidates who take both CAT and JMET in a single year are a big task. The decision to use CAT for admission to IITs and IISc will minimize the preparation and financial burden and time to candidates. CAT is an ideal fit for IITs as it is a well evolved, established, standardized and widely accepted entrance exam for admission into PG programmes in management in India. CAT 2011 convener says, This is a major initiative that brings two premier higher education systems together.
