Department of Management Sciences, Pune University (PUMBA)

Securing a rank of 11 in the SBC category of Mumbai University and a state category rank of 20 with 92.83 percentile in CET is a good achievement. It may make you eligible for admission to some of the well-known management institutes such as the Department of Management Sciences (PUMBA), University of Pune. The admission to PUMBA is conducted through the Centralized Admission Process (CAP) rounds, which is conducted by the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), Maharashtra. The admission is based on the candidate's CET score and the options filled by the candidate during the CAP rounds. As a Mumbai University graduate, you may not have any advantage or disadvantage in the admission process to PUMBA. The selection process is purely based on the CET score and the options filled by the candidate during the CAP rounds. However, the cut-off scores may vary each year based on various factors such as the number of applicants, the difficulty level of the exam, and the institutes admission policy. Therefore, it's difficult to predict your chances of getting admission to PUMBA in CAP rounds. It's recommended to keep a watch on the official website of DTE, Maharashtra, for updates on the admission process, eligibility criteria, and other details related to the programme. You can also contact the admissions office of PUMBA for further information.

Hi,
There are multiple methods to get admission in Pumba. To get a clear idea let's first understand the seat matrix
Total seats-198
That gets divided further to,
153 Maharashtra state seats ,27 All India seats and 18 EWS( Economically Weaker section) seats
The 153 Maharashtra state seats are further subdivided into Home(125 seats) and Other than Home University seats(28 seats). That's it with the seat distribution.
Now let's talk about Methods:
Method 1: CAP Rounds
There is not much to it, very much similar to a typical CAP Round process. Following are the Cutoffs after CAP round III:
OHU Open: score 124 rank 496
OHU OBC: score 121 rank 664
OHU SC: score 115 rank 1082
OHU SEBC: score 113 rank 1165
OHU ST: score 90 rank 3685
Orphan(2 seats): score 123 rank 555
HU Open: score 121 rank 669
HU OBC:. score 112 rank 1251
HU SEBC : score 104 rank 2043
HU SC:. score 100 rank 2468
HU ST: score 65 rank 8208
Cutoffs fluctuate during cap round 1,2,3 and 4. The generic trend of fluctuation is usually downwards. But the difference is marginal. My forcast for this year's cutoff is that it will be very high as few of the institutes are backing out of the cap process, that will place Pumba upward in every students priority list on Option form for CAP.
Method 2: All India seats
Scores from multiple exams recognized by CET can also land you a seat in DMS Pumba. Few of those exams are CAT, XAT, CMAT, MAT and ATMA. I got mine in All India quota with the help of CMAT with All India rank 220.
Though there is a huge difference between level of XAT, CMAT and CAT in comparison with MAT and ATMA, the percentile are considered equivalent. That's the only downside to it. Anyway there is still confusion on acceptablity of MAT, ATMA and XAT this year .
Following is the Cutoff for all India quota:
Score: 99.6%ile
Rank: 515
Method 3: ILS (Vacant Seats)
