Mathematics is widely considered the most difficult and time-consuming section in the CUSAT CAT exam.

NMIMS does not accept scores of the CAT exam for admission in its MBA courses. Even if you have a good percentile in CAT, you have to qualify the eligibility criteria for NMIMS MBA as well as take the NMAT exam. NMAT exam is a national level exam conducted by GMAC as an entrance exam for admission in MBA programs.

PIBM Pune provides opportunities to students to enrol to MBA and PGDM programs even with low CAT scores based on the profile and interview performance of the student. We conduct our internal assessment test called PMAT, in which students are required to score a minimum of 50% to qualify for the GD and PI rounds. These rounds are conducted to assess the overall personality of the students, aiming to get an overview of their dedication and intent to pursue the course to achieve the desired cumulative goal of being a talented working professional. PIBM is dedicated to providing job-description-based training to students.

The NMAT test registration fee is charged by GMAC. This amounts to INR 3000 per attempt. After the candidate has registered for NMAT test, he/she needs to register at NMIMS and fill up the online registration form for admission in MBA. The NMIMS MBA registration fee is INR 2900.

The minimum marks of every SIU institute varies. While for SIBM Pune and SCHMRD the minimum cut off is usually 95-98 percentile, the cut offs for SSBF Pune is nearly 60.

SNAP final merit list is prepared on the basis of candidate's entrance exam score, academic profile, work profile and GE-PI performance.

There is no SNAP counselling fee to be paid. The fee is already charged in SNAP application fee per college selection.

SNAP candidates are not required to apply separately for all SIU campuses. They can select colleges in the SNAP application form. However, they need to fill the PI-shortlist form separately for whichever colleges they get shortlisted.

No, candidates cannot change their MAH CET exam centre as the test arrangements are done in a particular order based on candidate roll numbers. Test takers have to appear at the same test centre in the same slot as mentioned in their MBA CET admit card.
