Joint Management Entrance Test, or JMET, is a joint examination conducted by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) for its two-year post-graduate management degree program. JMET is only a qualifying examination. Candidates have to apply separately to the institute of their choice. Notification regarding the availability of application forms is published in the month of August/September in major national newspapers.

JMET exams are held in the month of December. For every incorrect answer, there is a negative marking of -0.25 marks. JMET is different from other management entrance exams because it focuses more on higher mathematics. With more than 30 centers all over India, JMET results provide a basis for all participating institutes to shortlist potential candidates. Each institute has its own independent selection process which includes group discussions and personal interviews.
