The popularity of retail management courses in India has promoted the Retailers Association of India to conduct a common admission test called Common Admission Retail Test or CART. CART 2008 would be the first countrywide entrance examination for admission to Postgraduate Programme in Retail Management.
It would be conducted by Retailers Association of India on the 27th of January 2008 for admission to RAI's Postgraduate Program in Retail Management (PGPRM) offered in 15 institutes that RAI has currently tied up with.
The objective of the test is to assess the candidate's aptitude for retail management education, including Quantitative Aptitude, Logical Reasoning and Consumer Comprehension. It would be held in 25 centers across India.

This step of RAI would definitely help streamlining the admission process to retail management courses in India
