The MET is administered regularly in a networked mode and a face-to-face mode throughout the year as well. The tentative date for MET examination for the year 2024 is second week of February – 2024, first week of March – 2024, last week of May – 2024 and first week of July – 2024. The outcome of each attempt is, in most cases, announced within two weeks from the date of the test. From the result, candidates get sectional cut off as well as the overall percentile score.
The MET helps in getting into management programs and the admissions are offered on the basis of the candidate’s scores and performance in other rounds of group discussion, personal interview and so on The cut off percentile for calling candidate to next round of MET again differ from one institute to another. Applicants have to take an individual application to the preferred colleges/s or universities, depending on MET scores and other criteria set by institutions. The test therefore opens up a corridor to entry into post graduate management education in the country.
