What is the cutoff mark for JBIMS through the CAT, XAT, and CET for outside Maharashtra people?
JBIMS, Mumbai is a highly respected management institute in India that offers a variety of programs including MHRD, MMS, M.Sc Finance, and Part-time MBA. Admissions to JBIMS MMS are divided into two categories: "Maharashtra State Candidates" and "Other than Maharashtra State Candidates." For candidates from Maharashtra, the MAH CET score is considered, while for candidates from outside Maharashtra, JBIMS accepts CAT/MAH CET/CMAT/GMAT scores.
Shortlisted candidates are required to attend the CAP conducted by the Maharashtra State CET Cell. JBIMS only accepts valid MAH-CET scores for admission to its full-time MMS course, which is affiliated with Mumbai University. In the previous year, the highest cutoff for MAH-CET 2021 was 99.97%, recorded by JBIMS. For round 2 of MAH-CET, the score was recorded as 99.95%. MAH-CET releases cutoffs with merit lists for two distinct categories, the Maharashtra State (MH) category and the All India (AI) category, following a normalization method.
What should be your raw score in CET is to get into JBIMS?
There is no fixed CET score that will guarantee your admission to JBIMS. The raw score keeps changing from 120-165+. It actually depends on the level of difficulty of the paper during the particular year. Sometimes the paper is quite difficult and the highest score is just around 130. Other times the paper was so easy that even a 165 did not guarantee admission.
Many people suggest targeting 150. But I personally feel it hampers the entire process as you are under pressure and then flunk the paper terribly. One should focus on solving the paper rather than targeting a specific score. Your high target will refrain you from attempting the paper to your fullest potential.
Know that if the exam is tough it is so for everyone, and if it is easy it is so for everyone. So unnecessary stressing yourself will do you no good in the end.
Do I need to separately fill KJ Somaiya's form if I'm targeting it through the MAHCET and CMAT?
There are two courses available in management studies
- PGDM (fully autonomous)
- MMS (autonomous affiliated to Mumbai university)
The PGDM course requires a separate form to be filled out if you are applying through CAT/CMAT/XAT or other All India Entrance exams. PGDM course doesn't have any kind of reservation criteria but you need only an All India Level Entrance exam score to apply.
The MMS course does not require you to fill out a separate form for applying through MHT-CET/CMAT/CAT because they are under DTE. One thing that you need to know is that this course is a Gujarati linguistic minority course where
- 51% of seats are reserved for Gujarati Speaking students
- 49 % don't have any caste-based quota,
- Out of the total intake in MMS 15% is reserved for All India Entrance exams like CAT, XAT, etc.
