New Delhi: In a step
that may reduce hassles for management course aspirants, a single
common admission test for management courses will be held for the
first time in 2012.
The test, named Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) will be
held by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) for
admission to various management schools.
The fate of the Common Admission Test (CAT) that is annually held
by the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) is not clear yet.
So far, admission to B-schools has been largely based on the
results of CAT and Management Aptitude Test (MAT). A number of
other exams are also held by different colleges and universities.
"This initiative has been taken to address the issue of physical,
mental and financial stress being imposed on the students through
number of entrance examinations conducted by the institutions for
admission to management programs in AICTE-approved institutions
based on relevant judgments in the Hon'ble Supreme Court," a
statement from human resource development ministry said.
The Common Management Admission Test (CMAT)-2012 will be conducted
online in 61 cities from Feb 20 to Feb 28, 2012, and scores
awarded will be used for admission in the post-graduate management
programs both at the degree and diploma level, all over India for
year 2012-13.
The ministry has also asked the respective secretaries of the
state dealing with technical education and vice chancellors of the
universities to use the merit list of CMAT-2012 for admission of
students in the AICTE approved management institutions for
academic year 2012-13.
