The joint management entrance test (JMET) previously used for admission by IITs and Indi­an Institute of Science (I­I­Sc) will now be discontinu­ed, making room for a un­iform combined admission test. IIMs, IITs and II­Sc ha­ve agreed to use CAT 2011 as part of the st­udent selection process of their MBA and M.Mgt prog­rammes beginning fr­om the academic year 2012-13.

The move was necessitated by the finding of a recent study that says the relatively young JMet not too unlike the Common Admission Test, and that efforts to organize an annual JMet seems enormous. On average, nearly 40,000 candidates to the test each year.

Prof. LS Ganesh, former heads of delegation of the Administration Department, IIT Chennai SAid, "The decision to use CAT for admission to the IITs and IISc minimize the test preparation and financial burden on applicants. "

In an official statement, Prometric, a leading provider of test development of industry leading partners to test and delivery solutions IIM in the development and delivery of the CAT in 2011, said CAT 2011 will be held on window of 20 days from October 22 to November 18 to 36 cities.
