Obtain a minimum of 50% aggregate marks (45% for restricted category) as a UGC-recognized university graduate. Candidates for the MBA programs may also be those who are in their last year of graduation and are certain they will receive at least 50% of their total points. Higher graduation marks may carry greater weight with the admissions committee. The candidate must have completed at least one exam from either the MH-CET or the CAT-MAT-XAT-CMAT series. The academic year will take into account MAT results.
