New guidelines by AICTE for MBA admissions

All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has ordered that admissions to all MBA programmes in AICTE approved Institutions and University departments shall be based on CMAT Scores and for the PGDM Institutions will be done based on one of the five tests (CMAT, CAT, MAT, XAT, ATMA) for admission during the year 2013-14.  

Admissions for MBA course for 2013-14 will be as per CMAT scores. Best of the two CMAT scores will be used for admission to Master of Business Admission (MBA) for 2013-14.

Those candidates who could not appear in earlier CMAT can appear for CMAT (Additional Test) to be conducted by AICTE during May 2013 by registering online, the notification for the same will be issued by AICTE shortly in the leading newspapers.

Only better of the two scores, including tests conducted earlier in September 2012 and February 2013 will be used for admission. Karnataka Examinations Authority will make admissions to the government quota seats (50 per cent of total approved intake) as per the merit list of CMAT 2013-14 for admission to MBA course.

Similarly, the Institutions which impart MBA will also follow the merit list of CMAT 2013-14 to fill their quota of seats, according to a press release from the Registrar of Mangalore University.
