Assam University Courses & Fees 2026: UG, PG, After 10th Courses

The date for the XAT 2025 exam was 5 January, 2025. This piece of information was released by the XLRI Jamshedpur. 

Assam University provides admission to its MBA programme through Jawaharlal Nehru School of Management (JNSM). The university accepts admission through national-level entrance examinations such as CAT/ CMAT/CUCET.

Besides these entrance exams, there is university’s entrance exam through which Assam University inducts applicants to its MBA course, its four specialisations. The next step to get admission to the university's MBA after taking any of the exams mentioned above is getting your rank above the closing rank given in the merit list released by Assam University, followed by the Group Discussion and Personal Interview.

As per the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (Divyangjan) under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment guidelines, PwD candidates will be provided with following facilities:

1. Scribe facility: In case the candidate has physical limitation and required a scribe for writing the exam, he/she must be certified in the format provided by CMO/Civil Surgeon/ Medical Superintendent of a Government Health Care Institution.
2. Extra time: PwD candidates will get extra time of one hour whether such candidates use scribe facilities or not.

CAT exam is a national level MBA entrance exam conducted by the IIM. Every year, over 2.3 lakh candidates apply for it. Since the last two years, the competition has increased further with oveer 3 lakh candidates applying for the exam.

The CAT score is accepted by the Iims and all top MBA colleges in India. To select the best candidates from over 3 lakh test takers there is a need for stringent criteria. That's why, the CAT exam is tougher than other MBA entrance exams. Even though the syllabus of CAT is same as that of other MBA entrance exams, the question paper set by the IIM faculty always has tough questions. Moreover, CAT has sectional time limit for each section which is not there in any other exam except XAT. Having a time limit for each section adds pressure on candidates to complete solving adequate number of questions in a section within the time limit. If a student is weak in a particular subject, they can't use the time as per their need. CAT's Reading Comprehension passages are long and dense unlike other MBA exams. This is one more reason why most candidates feel CAT is tougher than any other MBA entrance exam.
