Mumbai Institute of Management and Research | Cut-Off Details | Vidyavision

Located in Wadala (East), Mumbai, the Mumbai Institute of Management and Research (MIMR)—managed by the Bhartiya Gramin Punarrachana Sanstha (BGPS)—is an AICTE-approved management institution affiliated with the University of Mumbai and recognized by the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), Government of Maharashtra. The institute offers the Master of Management Studies (MMS) post-graduate program.

Admissions to MIMR are governed by the Centralised Admission Process (CAP) conducted by the Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell. Seat allocation and cut-off ranks are determined based on candidates' scores in recognized management entrance tests, state reservation policies, candidate domicile, and choice filling preferences.

Cut-Off Mechanics & Admission Criteria

Admissions to the MMS program at MIMR are conducted across multiple seat categories through designated CAP rounds and direct institute-level seats:

• Entrance Exam Requirements: Candidates seeking admission under the All India (AI) and Home State (HS) quotas must possess a non-zero positive percentile score in MAH MBA/MMS CET. National entrance exam scores such as CAT, CMAT, XAT, MAT, or ATMA are also considered for All India seat allocations.

• Academic Eligibility: Candidates must hold a recognized Bachelor's degree with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks (45% for reserved category candidates domiciled in Maharashtra).

• Home State (HU) vs. Other Than Home State (OHU): Candidates belonging to the Mumbai University home state jurisdiction are evaluated under Home State Open (GOPENH) or Home State Reserved quotas. Candidates from other universities within Maharashtra fall under Other Than Home State (GOPENO) seats.

• All India Quota (AI): Non-Maharashtra state applicants (OMS) and national entrance exam test-takers compete under the All India (AI) seats based on raw score percentile ranks.

Exam-Wise & Category-Wise Cut-Off Trends

• Upward Percentile Trend in Open Categories: Competitiveness for GOPENO and All India seats has seen a marked increase, with the closing percentile rising to 90.61 for GOPENO and 87.08 for All India candidates.

• Reserved Category Adjustments: Reserved categories such as SC and ST maintain lower closing percentiles (ranging between 54.00 and 67.00 percentile), providing opportunities for eligible Maharashtra-domiciled candidates.

• Economically Weaker Section (EWS) Shifts: The EWS category witnessed an increase in closing percentile from ~14.67 in 2025 to 39.34 in 2026 due to higher candidate registration volume under state welfare schemes.

• Specialization-Neutral Allotment: In the Mumbai University MMS structure, CAP allotment is conducted for the core MMS degree rather than individual specializations (Finance, Marketing, HR, Operations, Systems). Specialization selection occurs post-admission or during the second year based on academic performance and student interest.

Factors Influencing Annual Cut-Offs

• Total Number of Test Takers: Variations in candidate volume appearing for the MAH MBA/MMS CET exam directly impact percentile distribution and rank lists.

• Difficulty Level of Entrance Examinations: Shifts in test difficulty influence raw scores required to hit specific percentile brackets.

• Seat Matrix & Reservation Allocations: Seat distribution rules mandated by the DTE Government of Maharashtra across Home State, Other Than Home State, All India, and reserved categories set strict capacity limits.

• Applicant Preference Rankings: The location advantage of MIMR in Wadala, Mumbai, makes it a preferred choice among students targeting tier-2 management institutions within the Mumbai metropolitan region.
