Admission to the management courses of the IITs (Indian Institute of Technology) will no longer require Joint Management Entrance Test (JMET) scores. It was recently announced that JMET would be scrapped and the IITs would accept only the CAT scores.
This move comes closely after the statement by the All Indian Council for Technical Education (AICTE) chairman, S.S. Mantha that there should be only one entrance exam for all MBA aspirants. While the HRD ministry, in a press release, said that it would not be possible to have one exam for all management programmes, this move by the IITs is expected to ease pressure on students, say academics.
For the last four years, the IITs were accepting both the CAT and JMET scores.
