However, it's important to note that the admission requirements may vary depending on the specific programme and the institution you are applying to. It's always best to check with the admission office of the institution you are interested in to confirm their requirements. They will be able to provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information on their admission criteria and whether or not CMAT is mandatory for non-Maharashtra students. In general, CMAT scores may be considered by some institutions as an alternative to MAH CET scores for non-Maharashtra students, but this may vary depending on the institution and programme you are applying to.
