There was a time when admission to different courses, particularly in the field of professional education, was based entirely on the marks obtained in the preceding qualifying examinations. With the ever-increasing number of students trying to get admission to professional courses, admission tests were introduced to screen candidates to fill up the limited number of seats. An idea about the big gap between the number of seats and the number of aspirants may be had from the fact that in 1999 for EAMCET, a common entrance test held in Andhra Pradesh, more than one lakh candidates tried their luck for only about twenty thousand seats in the engineering stream.

Initially each university first introduced its own testing system, but now almost all the State Governments have entered the scene to regulate admission, particularly to professional courses at the first degree level. The tests are variously called Combined Admission Test (CATEGORIES), Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), Common Entrance Test (CET), Joint Admission Test (JAT). Tests are conducted either for individual subjects such as business administration, computer applications, bio-technology or for a group of subjects such as engineering, agricultural and veterinary sciences, medicine and dentistry and pharmacy. A negative fallout of the proliferation of entrance tests is the sparing of multi-million rupee “coaching industry”.

Some of the common features of the different types of tests are:

1. the duration of tests are generally of 2 ½ hours,

2. test questions are of multiple choice/objective type,

3. in some tests wrong answers carry negative marks,

4. allotment of the institution and the branch of study, (e.g., mechanical, electrical, etc.) is made at the time of counselling on the basis of candidates merit position, availability of seats, the choice of subjects and the reservation status, if applicable,

5. in some tests the candidates are required to make use of Optical Mark Record (OMR) sheet for answering questions,

6. final selection for management courses is based on candidates merit position and performance in group discussion (GD) and interview and

7. for architecture course are also required to appear in an Aptitude Test.

Several test agencies have made arrangements to make detailed information about the tests and the test results available on Internet.

The different types of test conducted can be broadly grouped into five categories: 1. tests at All-India level, 2. tests at the State level for admission to first degree level of professional courses conducted by State Government, 3. tests for admission to professional courses at postgraduate level conducted either by State Governments or jointly by several universities in a State, 4. tests for admission to colleges affiliated under them, 5. tests conducted by independent Testing Services.

In addition, many private autonomous management institutions conduct their own tests. A brief description of some of the tests in each in each of these categories follows. It, however, excludes the tests conducted by individual institutions on an all-India basis, such as, Indira Gandhi National Open University (OPENMAT) for admission to management programmes, Armed Forces Medical College (Pune), for admission to MBBS course. Wherever relevant, information about entrance tests has been given in part 2. dealing with specific disciplines. Entrance Tests, in fact, have triggered off a lucrative coaching business.


1.}Common Admission Test (CAT): The Indian Institutions of Management (IIMs) conduct Common Admission Test (CAT) for postgraduate and Fellow Programmes in Management in six IIMs, at Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Indore, Kozhikode (Calicut) and Lucknow. The notification is generally published during July/August and the test is held on 2nd Sunday of December every year. Several other management institutions with the approval of the IIMs, also accept CAT Scores for admission.
