Meanwhile, the Bombay High Court has ordered the Maharashtra government to allow admission to MBA on the basis of GMAT, MAT, ATMA and XAT scores, NDTV reported. The court stayed a March circular issued by the state government that said scores in these national-level entrance exams would not be valid for admission to MBA programmes in state-owned institutions.

The circular had mandated aspirants to appear for at least one of three exams — MAH MBA/MMS CET (MS-CET), GMAT or CAT — to be eligible. As per the Bombay High Court order, this policy will not be implemented from this academic year (2020-21) but “may operate from the next academic year 2021-22”.
