Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) has started enrolments in its Master of Business Administration (MBA) courses under newly established Atal Bihari Vajpayee School of Management and Entrepreneurship for 2019-20.
The last date to apply online for admission to MBA course in JNU is March 1. Viva/interview for shortlisted candidates will be conducted on April 15, 16 and 18. Final results will be declared on April 26.
The newly set up school at JNU will offer a two-year MBA programme and admission will to it be done on the basis of candidates’ scores in Common Admission Test (CAT) conducted in 2018.
As the first step of admissions, students have to first apply online on the JNU website and provide their CAT registration number.
“JNU will use CAT scores for shortlisting/selecting candidates for the MBA programme. IIMs have no role either in the selection process or in conducting of the programme. The aspirants who qualify based on their CAT score will be shortlisted and then called for an interview,” said the university.
The first batch of the MBA course in JNU will offer 50 seats. The university will give 70 percent weight to the CAT score and 30 percent weight will be given to the marks obtained in the interviews. The university will follow the reservation policy as per the Central government rules.
“Since MBA is a professional course, no additional deprivation points as it may be the case in some other JNU courses will be taken into consideration for admission,” said the university.
