The cut-off scores present in MAH CET-accepting institutes are set based on many factors among them being their ranking, their admission seat, the difficulty of the exam and the number of test takers. Therefore, the MBA CET cut-off score can change slightly with the year, but the approximate range will always be the same.
Government-operated and assisted MBA/MMS institutes occupy 85 percent of the seats in the state by CET and 65 percent of the seats in the unaided and minority-reserved institutes, respectively. The rest 15 percent of the number of seats is filled through All India merit. Moreover, the all-India seats weaken CAT, CMAT, XAT, MAT and ATMA examination scores.
