STUDY IN INDIA

Most Indian universities participate in one or another centralized admission procedure. States have their own admissions exams and policies.
Little weight is given to applicants’ past academic record and more to their exam results. Applicants are ranked by exam grades, and submit their preference of universities/programs based on their rank and choice.

Some such common entrance tests are:
-- Joint Entrance Exam (JEE), the undergraduate exam for the sixteen Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs);
-- Common Admission Test (CAT), XAT, JMAT, MAT or SNAP, the graduate exams for the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and other business schools;
-- Graduate Admission Test of Engineering (GATE), the graduate exam for the IITs;
-- All India Engineering Entrance Exam (AIEEE) for admission to Undergraduate Engineering and Architecture / Design courses;
-- NEET Exams -conducted by the CBSE; the entrance exam for admission to MBBS program.
