JMET is a qualifying examination for the two-year full-time postgraduate Management degree programmes offered by IISc and IITs in Mumbai, Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Chennai and Roorkee. Usually conducted in December, JMET is organized by IITs on a rotational policy.

On qualifying, applicants have to apply to the chosen institutes separately. However, you have to meet the eligibility criteria of the institutes as well.
Each Institute has its own entry requirements and criteria for selection of candidates. Students who have completed the specified degree or are in final year of their programmes can appear for JMET.

Final year students can only secure provisional admission in an Institute. They need to complete the qualifying degree successfully and submit the provisional degree certificate before the deadline specified by the Institute, for continuation of their enrolment
