Since the MBA CET 2025 will be conducted in two sessions on three days, the CET question paper of every session will be different from each other. The difference between questions papers can lead to varied difficulty levels across session which in turn puts the test taker at a risk of scoring less or more than their counterparts.

Q:   When was MAH MBA CET 2024 cut off released?

A:

The State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra uploads round wise and category wise MAH MBA CET cut offs on its official website during the CAP process. The MAH CET MBA 2024 cut offs were released during the CAP 2024 which was held from July 12 to September 12, 2024. You can check MAH CET 2024 cut off on this page (https://www.shiksha.com/mba/mah-cet-exam-cutoff). You can also check the cut offs of previous years on this page.

MAH CET cut offs include only the overall cut offs on the basis of which seats are allotted to candidates during the counselling process. Candidates do not have to meet any sectional cut off to be eligible for admission into a particular MBA college. MAH CET cut offs 2024 were declared for three rounds. Cut off percentiles of students belonging to different categories were different. The category specific cut offs were released by the State CET separately.

Q:   Can I get into Gondwana University with 70%ile in MAH CET?

A:

Yes, With a 70 percentile in MAH CET, you may have a chance to secure admission to Gondwana University for an Master of Business Administration. The university's overall MAH CET cutoff for 2023 is 22.81 percentile. Candidates must have completed their bachelor's degrees, such as BBM, and have a minimum of 45% marks in their 12th examination. The university conducts a Group Discussion and Personal Interaction round for shortlisted candidates. 

This is the main reason why most of the common entrance exams follow the score normalization process. The scores are normalized to assess the performance of every candidate on the same scale and derive the percentile from the overall score for preparation of result. In MAH MBA CET 2025 too, candidate’s score will be converted into percentile. But what is the difference between MBA CET marks and MBA CET percentile? This is a question that many candidates ask.

Q:   I have scored 96.81 (109 marks) in MAH CET. Which are the good colleges that I may get in the CAP round?

A:
First of all congratulations on your success. Good colleges in Pune by CET are only PUMBA and Indira. For PUMBA you require minimum 99 percentile unless you fall in some category which can help in admissions. You can try colleges which fall into top 5-14 ranks and it would be better if you compare percentile from last year data. May you please tell me if you fall in any category like MU, OHU, AI and so on so that I can tell you more accurately.

Q:   Which colleges can I expect in CAP round as I have got 95.77 percentile in CET (All India category)?

A:
As you belong to All India category, it is very difficult to get a good college in Mumbai. Lala college closed at around 96.5 percentile last year. The only college which had a cutoff lower than 95 Percentile was MIT and Indira which closed at 93.5 percentile. I would suggest to avoid these colleges and if you can, please give the entrance exams again and aim for better colleges.

Q:   Is MAH CET MBA CAP cut off-based?

A:
Yes, MAH MBA CET counselling is cut off-based which is held after the result announcement. MAH CET counselling is conducted round-wise. In this process, candidates have to register online, participate in online counselling and confirm admission by submission of documents and final admission by making fee payment. After that, the admission cell, prepares cut offs and seat allotment lists category wise for MBA/MS admission. Candidates from outside Maharashtra state are also eligible for MAH CET CAP under the All India Seats category. The registration, exam and counselling processes for All India Seats category students are same as that of Maharashtra State category candidates. The MBA CET CAP is held for 2-3 months. For 2022 academic session, it was held from October 7 to November 18, 2022. MAH MBA CET 2023 counselling process dates will be announced after the declaration of result of the entrance exam. The registration process will be online and the MAH CET MBA CAP form submission will go on for 10-14 days.

Q:   What's the cut-off for PUMBA in CMAT and MAT? What is the placement criteria in PUMBA?

A:
The Department of Management Sciences of the Savitribai Phule Pune University (also known as PUMBA or Pune University MBA), the MBA admission process for Maharashtra is conducted through DTE, Maharashtra. You can visit the following site for further information http://www.dtemaharashtra.gov.in. You can get admission in PUMBA on the basis of MBA-CET score or any of the National entrance exam for MBA like CAT, CMAT, ATMA, etc. The cutoff is usually more than 97 percentile. PUMBA offers two courses after graduation i.e. MBA+ & MBA-Pharma Biotechnology.

Q:   Which college can I get in Maharashtra for MBA with 59.23%ile in MAH-CET?

A:

This percentile in MAH-CET, as an open category student from outside Maharashtra, will not be probable as most top MBA colleges within the state ask for 85–90% and above. Even with your current score, it is going to be really tough to get you into a good college. Take the MAH-CET again or look for other MBA entrance exams like CAT, XAT, or MAT. Better preparation and a higher score next year will surely give you a better shot at a reputable institution. All the very best with your efforts!

MAH MBA CET Score vs Percentile

On the basis of the above data, here’s the calculation of MBA CET percentile score from the highest raw score in each session.
