Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) have decided to discontinue the Joint Management Entrance Test (JMET) that they conduct for admitting students into postgraduate management courses.
Instead, the six IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Roorkee, Kharagpur and Madras) will be base admissions to PG management courses on CAT, the admission test conducted by the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs).
Together, the six IITs have an intake capacity of about 600 students.
The reason for calling off JMET is that the number of students taking the exam has declined over the years. A source at IIT-Delhi told Minglebox.com that the resources spent on conducting the exam were unacceptably high. Also, the JMET was too similar to CAT.
The decision would make life easier for the aspirants as there will be one less test to take and their CAT score will be acceptable at more institutions.
IIT-Delhi and IIT-Madras have already announced on their website that JMET stands cancelled and students have to check individual websites of departments/schools of management for other eligibility criteria.
