Department of Management Sciences Pune University (PUMBA) Ganeshkhind Answered Questions

PUMBA (Department of Management Sciences, Savitribai Phule Pune University) accepts the scores of several entrance exams, including ATMA and MAT, for admission to its MBA program. However, the eligibility criteria and admission process for MBA through DTE All India quota may vary from the regular admission process.
For admission to MBA through DTE All India quota, the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) Maharashtra conducts the Centralized Admission Process (CAP), which is based on the scores of CET, CMAT, or other specified entrance exams. The CAP process consists of multiple rounds of counseling, seat allocation, and document verification.
Therefore, it is advisable to check the DTE website and the official website of PUMBA for the latest updates on the eligibility criteria and admission process for MBA through DTE All India quota.
However, based on the previous year's admission data, a MAT score of 700 or above and an ATMA score of 95 percentile or above is considered a good score for admission to PUMBA's MBA program. But, as mentioned earlier, the eligibility criteria may vary from year to year, and admission depends on several factors other than entrance exam scores.

Hi,
There are multiple methods to get admission in Pumba. To get a clear idea let's first understand the seat matrix
Total seats-198
That gets divided further to,
153 Maharashtra state seats ,27 All India seats and 18 EWS( Economically Weaker section) seats
The 153 Maharashtra state seats are further subdivided into Home(125 seats) and Other than Home University seats(28 seats). That's it with the seat distribution.
Now let's talk about Methods:
Method 1: CAP Rounds
There is not much to it, very much similar to a typical CAP Round process. Following are the Cutoffs after CAP round III:
OHU Open: score 124 rank 496
OHU OBC: score 121 rank 664
OHU SC: score 115 rank 1082
OHU SEBC: score 113 rank 1165
OHU ST: score 90 rank 3685
Orphan(2 seats): score 123 rank 555
HU Open: score 121 rank 669
HU OBC:. score 112 rank 1251
HU SEBC : score 104 rank 2043
HU SC:. score 100 rank 2468
HU ST: score 65 rank 8208
Cutoffs fluctuate during cap round 1,2,3 and 4. The generic trend of fluctuation is usually downwards. But the difference is marginal. My forcast for this year's cutoff is that it will be very high as few of the institutes are backing out of the cap process, that will place Pumba upward in every students priority list on Option form for CAP.
Method 2: All India seats
Scores from multiple exams recognized by CET can also land you a seat in DMS Pumba. Few of those exams are CAT, XAT, CMAT, MAT and ATMA. I got mine in All India quota with the help of CMAT with All India rank 220.
Though there is a huge difference between level of XAT, CMAT and CAT in comparison with MAT and ATMA, the percentile are considered equivalent. That's the only downside to it. Anyway there is still confusion on acceptablity of MAT, ATMA and XAT this year .
Following is the Cutoff for all India quota:
Score: 99.6%ile
Rank: 515
Method 3: ILS (Vacant Seats)
If it's help you like it

To start with, getting admission in DMS Pumba is quite a struggle at least for students like me who are OHU(Other than Home University) candidate.
