Cut-offs vary annually depending on exam difficulty, number of applicants, and seat availability. For top institutes like JBIMS (Mumbai), Maharashtra State Open category cut-offs often exceed 99 percentile. SIMSREE and PUMBA typically have cut-offs above 95–98 percentile for general category candidates. Reserved category cut-offs are comparatively lower according to government norms. Final cut-offs are published during each CAP round and may fluctuate between rounds depending on seat vacancies and candidate preferences.
