Business Management Studies

The Executive MBA from Universal AI University is a part-time 2-year program. The overall programme cost is INR 1,98,000, with education loan facilities provided. The programme is specifically designed for working professionals in Mumbai. It provides flexibility as well as AI-integrated learning.

Regarding Hyderabad Presidency College (Presidency School of Management & Computer Sciences) for MBA via TS ICET: the total tuition fee is around ?70,000 for two years—fairly affordable for a private college in Hyderabad . As for fee reduction based on rank (like your TS ICET rank of 10275), colleges don't lower fees by rank—fees are fixed regardless of how high or low your score is. Admission depends on your rank meeting the cutoff and participating in counselling, not on paying less.

With an IPU CET MBA rank of 757, your chances of getting into MAIT are really, really slim—MAIT's 2025 Round 1 cutoff for MBA was between 294–727 across all categories, so you're just outside that sweet zone. To improve your shot, keep MAIT as a high preference during counselling, stay active for spot rounds or mop-up rounds, and be ready with documents and fees to grab any late openings.

With a PGCET MBA rank of around 5000 under the OBC-NCL category, plus having the NCC quota, you stand a good chance of getting admission into reputed colleges. Based on previous year cutoffs, colleges like Acharya Institute of Technology, Dayananda Sagar University, RNS Institute of Technology, NMAM Institute of Technology, IFIM Institutions, BN Bahadur Institute of Management, and Christ Academy are all possible options. Since OBC seats usually go higher and NCC quota adds weightage, you should actively participate in all counselling rounds for better chances.

With a CUET score of 241 out of 750 in the OBC-NCL category, you're quite above the 2024 Round 1 cutoff for BBA at BBAU, which was 250 for OBC-NCL, and even past some of the later rounds like Round 2 (242) or Round 4 (229) . So yeah—you've got a solid shot at getting in, especially if you register early and complete counselling fast. Try catching Round 1 counselling for the best chances. 

Even though MBA entrance exams like CAT or MAT are usually taken after graduation, however you can start preparing early after 12th. Focus on building strong basics in maths, logical reasoning, English, and current affairs. Reading newspapers, solving aptitude questions, and practicing mock tests regularly will really help when you apply for MBA later.

For MBA admission at GIBS, the MAT cutoff is usually around 64 percentile, while the CAT cutoff is about 60 percentile. This means the MAT route is slightly more competitive compared to CAT, but the difference is not huge. Both exams give you almost the same chance of getting shortlisted, as GIBS considers overall performance in entrance exams along with GD and PI rounds. So, you can choose either based on your strengths and comfort with the exam pattern.
