MBA colleges across India are relieved & happy with the Supreme Court’s judgement delivered on 1st Mar 2012: All India Council of Technical Education’s (AICTE) “Common Management Admission Test” (CMAT) will be just another MBA entrance examination & not the “sole” & “mandatory” entrance exam for admission to B-schools.
The Supreme Court has further stated that CMAT would be the 6th nationally recognised MBA entrance exam in India & that the B-schools can continue to use the other 5 tests {Common Admission Test (CAT), Management Aptitude Test (MAT), Xavier Aptitude Test (XAT), AIMS Test for Management (ATMA) and Joint Management Entrance Test (JMET)}.
JMET, however was discontinued by the IITs since 2011. The IITs have started using CAT scores instead to admit students to their B-Schools. (Read: No more JMET, only CAT for IITs)
Responding to an application made by Education Promotion Society for India which sought clarification in public interest, a Supreme Court bench of Justice A K Patnaik and Justice Swatanter Kumar passed the order: “We clarify that as per the interim order passed by this court on 26 July, 2011, PGDM institutions may continue to admit students for 2012-13 who have taken CAT, MAT, XAT, ATMA, and JMET”. CMAT was announced by AICTE in December 2011. B-schools by this time had already frozen their admission process using CAT, XAT and other exams.
