Joint Management Entrance Test

Joint Management Entrance Test (JMET) was an admission exam used by some institutes in India as the first step in the admission to postgraduate programs in management. Institutes which used the exams included Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the IIT Schools of Management. The results of JMET were used to short-list the candidates for subsequent part of the selection process. In 2011 JMET was discontinued and replaced by Common Admission Test (CAT).^[1]

Process

It was conducted annually in the month of December, and comprised questions in multiple choice format. From 2007 onwards sectional cut-offs were introduced. Candidates clearing all the four sectional cut-offs receive an All India Rank (AIR).
