Admission through entrance exams

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 getadmission 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
