Frequently asked questions
Which is the best MBA college in Pune?
By the NIRF 2025 Management ranking, the highest-ranked institute in Pune is Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Pune (rank 11). The best choice for you also depends on fees, specialisation and your score.
How do I get MBA admission in Pune through MAH-CET?
Most MBA/MMS seats in Pune's state-approved institutes are filled through the Centralised Admission Process (CAP) run by the State CET Cell, Maharashtra, using MAH-MBA/MMS CET scores (and, for some seats, CAT and other national exams). You register for CAP, fill an option form and are allotted a seat by merit in rounds.
Are the CAP closing percentiles CAT percentiles?
No. They are MAH-MBA/MMS CET percentiles of the last candidate allotted a seat in each column in that round. Do not compare them with CAT percentiles.
Should I choose an MBA college in Pune for placements?
Being near industry helps with internships and live projects, but placements depend most on the institute itself. Read each institute's official placement report for the median salary and the share of the batch placed.
