MAH MBA CET attracts a large number of aspirants every year, typically ranging from 1 lakh to 1.5 lakh candidates, though exact numbers vary annually. Due to the high competition and limited seats in premier institutes such as JBIMS, SIMSREE, and PUMBA, securing a top percentile (95–99+) is crucial for admission into reputed colleges. While the total number of MBA/MMS seats across Maharashtra runs into thousands, the demand for top-tier colleges makes the exam extremely competitive at higher percentile levels.
