THE six IITs at Mumbai, Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Chennai and Roorkee who run the two-year, full-time Postgraduate Management Programme considered to be equivalent to an MBA have decided to scrap their own Joint Management Test (JMET) from next year. The six institutes with an intake of about 600 students have decided to consider the scores obtained by aspirants in the Common Admission Test (CAT) conducted by the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs).
This must be heralded as a welcome move by the student community who are hassled by the pressure for appearing in numerous tests like CAT, MAT, XAT, NMAT, ATMA, IRMA, MICAT, SNAP etc. It is worthwhile to mention that in a similar move, MICA, Ahmedabad had recently announced the abandoning of its own MICA Admission Test (MICAT) in favour of CAT. An AICTE directive had forced it into the decision according to news reports.
