JMET Test Pattern

Joint Management Entrance Test (JMET) is the first step for admission to post-graduate degree programmes in management at the IITs and the IISc (Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore ).

Currently IISC, Bangalore , IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Madras and IIT Roorkee offer such programmes in management.

Students have to apply for JMET and send separate application forms to different IITS and IISC according their choice. The IITS and IISC will use the results of JMER to shortlist candidates for the subsequent part of the selection process.

The JMET 2007 will be of 2 hours duration.  The test will consist of 150 questions (objective / multiple choice type) in the following sections:

1. Verbal Communication

2. Logical Reasoning

3. Quantitative Ability

4. Data Interpretation

There is negative marking for incorrect answers. For a wrong answer to a question, 25% of the marks allotted to that question will be deducted. Moreover, for a candidate to be qualified in JMET 2007, he/she should, not only, secure certain minimum marks in the test paper, but also, should necessarily obtain certain minimum marks in each of the four sections stated above.
