DU JAT 2020 was held yesterday on September 7. Based on the initial analysis DU JAT was moderate to tough in terms of difficulty level. Students also reported that there were a few changes in the exam pattern. 

DU JAT 2020 was conducted as a computer-based test in 20 cities by NTA on behalf of the University of Delhi. DU JAT is an entrance test conducted for admissions to Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS), Bachelor of Business Administration (Financial Investment Analysis) and BA (Hons) in Business Economics programs offered by 16 colleges affiliated to DU. 

Students had to face technical glitches at some of the DU JAT Exam Centers. This also led to the delay in the commencement of the test. Also according to the stated DU JAT exam pattern, equal distribution of questions was not there in the exam sections.
