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 2011 will be of 3 hours duration. The test will consist of 120 questions (objective / multiple choice type) in the following sections:

1. Verbal Communication

2. Logical Reasoning

3. Quantitative Ability

4. Data Interpretation

The question paper will consist of only objective type questions. Candidates have to mark the correct choice by darkening the appropriate bubble against each question on an Objective Response Sheet (ORS). There will be negative marking for wrong answers. The deduction for each wrong answer will be 25% of the allotted marks.
