Unified entrance exam on way for EMBAs

Universities will no longer be able to select their own students for Executive Master of Business Administration programs under a new regulation issued by the Ministry of Education.

The China National MBA Education Supervisory Committee announced over the weekend that, from next year, a nationwide exam will be the only way to apply for an EMBA course.

EMBA programs in China have been described as richmen's clubs, and some institutions offering them have been criticized for alleged corrupt practices.
