The All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE), has given green signal to institutions regarding giving admissions to candidates based on marks obtained in qualifying undergraduate exams. The decision has been made in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has instigated the cancellation of various entrance tests across the country.

Moreover, the scheme will be valid only for the session 2020-21, and regular entrance tests will be conducted from next year onwards. “All-India tests like CAT, XAT, CMAT, ATMA, MAT, GMAT and the Common Entrance Test of respective states are the qualifying tests for admission to MBA or the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) course. In many states, some of these entrance tests could not be conducted due to the fear of coronavirus spread, and there is no indication as to whether these tests are postponed or likely to be held or cancelled”, said AICTE Member Secretary Rajive Kumar

“AICTE, being more a facilitator than a regulator, considered alternative proposition through which selection of the students could be made for admission to PGDM course which will benefit both the institutions as well as the students. Therefore, in the current scenario, the PGDM and MBA institutions are allowed to admit students on the basis of marks obtained in qualifying examinations by preparing a merit list in a transparent manner. However, first preference will be given to candidates who have appeared in any of the entrance tests and have qualified, irrespective of their marks secured at degree level as long as minimum marks are secured”, added Kumar.

“The states may also use this relaxation while allotting seats through counselling. It may be noted that this relaxation to the PGDM and MBA institutions shall be applicable only for the academic year 2020-21, this cannot be taken as a precedent for the future academic years”, Kumar stated.
