Yes, it is possible to cancel admission after completing the first year in PUMBA if you score well in the next year's MBA CET exam. However, if you choose to do so, you will have to repeat the first year of the MMS course at a different college if you decide to take admission in another institute. Your earlier allotment or CAP participation will not be considered in any way for the new MMS course. It is important to note that you will have to justify the one-year gap or the first year of MMS at a different college during your summer and final placement interviews. This scenario is not uncommon, as many students take admission in a particular institute due to unpredictability in the entrance exam results.

I have a few friends from PUMBA, so I think I can give you some idea about admission to the institute. The criteria required in PUMBA for pursuing MBA is briefed below.
Eligibility Criteria:
A candidate is required to have passed with a minimum of about 50% marks or equivalent CGPA, which is 45% in case of candidates who are either from backward categories or have a physical disability.
Admission Criteria:
Students are required to qualify for the MH - CET exam in case they belong anywhere from Maharashtra. On the other hand, students can apply through CMAT/CAT/MH - CET, if they are from outside of Maharashtra.
Course Structure :
For specialization, there is a provision of 5 main choices to opt from, which are namely Marketing, Finance, Systems, Human Resource, and Operations. In a nutshell, the courses of the institute are of two years, incorporating six trimesters.
The immediate two trimesters mainly prepare you for obtaining a strong foundation on several crucial subjects, such as Finance, Marketing, Systems, Human Resource, Operations. Alongside these, it also helps improve Communications skills, Information Technology, Quantitative Skills, and others in students.
Hope this helps solve your query.
