Hi Rajat,
It is very difficult to get admission in SIMSREE, even having reservation category, because when you apply through CMAT, then you will get admission, as per your all India rank and not by category. Category will only help you in fees concession, when it comes to admission through CMAT.

Phase 1:-
All about SIMSREE, It is known as second best college through CET score after JBIMS and second best in (ROI) Return of Investment after FMS Delhi. The fees are INR 67,000/- for open category but as you are SC category your fees would be merely INR 6000/- for one year. There is library fee of 2K included in your 6000 Rs which you get back by end of the MBA course. The courses offered are MS and PGDBM (Finance, Marketing, Operations, HR and Systems) in affiliation with Mumbai University. The placement scenarios are quite complicated here, average stipends for internships is 10-15k/ month and for placements majority is between 8.5 LPA to 9.5 LPA. Also interns selected by big brands have PPO opportunities to grab
Phase 2:-CMAT is an all India examination and reservation is not applicable for all India seats. Last year JBIMS disapproved the enrolment via CMAT score thus, the top CMAT ranks are here with SIMSREE. So, this year too cutoffs will be high and only top ranks will be able to get SIMSREE which reduces your chances of getting SIMSREE via CMAT score this year. But if you have given CET this year and score more than 110 then SIMSREE gets booked for you as last year for SC category cutoff was only 111 CET score and CET being difficult this year cutoffs will fall for sure. The admission process via both the scores CMAT and CET starts in May or June and is through CAP. The last date depends on DTE but next academic year will begin by July end.
