JBIMS 2018 Admission through DTE CAP
There is no move by JBIMS to announce and conduct its own admission process. The admission process will be through Centralized Admission Process (CAP) 2018 to be conducted by DTE Maharashtra in the month of May/June 2018. A separate notification inviting candidates to participate in CAP 2018 will be released by DTE Maharashtra in the middle of May 2018.

JBIMS has been taking different stands on its admission policy in each academic session. It conducted its own admission process in 2015 but in 2016 JBIMS offered admission through DTE CAP 2016. Then again in 2017, it announced its own admission process but later took a U-turn and came back to participate in CAP 2017.

However, even if there is any change at the last moment, it will accept MAHCET 2018, CAT 2018 scores although DTE has announced that CMAT 2018 scores will be accepted for admission in all the Maharashtra B-schools participating in CAP 2018 for All India category candidates.
