Since the management courses in IITs are only for engineering and Post Graduate Science students the management courses are specially designed for them.

Presently management courses in IITs are available in Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kanpur, Kharagpur and Roorkee. In addition NIT calicut also uses JMET scores for admission in its MBA programme. All these institutes use JMET scores for shortlisting candidates who can apply for their management programmes.
