MAH CET 2018 Result Analysis: JBIMS, SIMSREE Cut offs to go up; 10000 seats for All India candidates
With 10000 more candidates taking MAHCET 2018 exam and scores going upward, expect a higher cut off this year. A fierce competition among the 98606 MAHCET 2018 test takers running very close to grab every percentile fraction, the Cut offs at JBIMS, SIMSREE, K J Somaiya, PUMBA, Welingkar, N L Dalmia are expected to go up as against last year.
With 10000 more candidates taking MAHCET 2018 exam than last year and scores going upward, you should expect higher cut offs in MBA colleges this year. Facing a fierce competition among the 98606 MAHCET 2018 test takers whose result was declared by DTE on March 19, the Cut offs at JBIMS, SIMSREE, K J Somaiya, PUMBA, Welingkar, N L Dalmia are expected to go up as against last year.
Along with the individual access to the result, the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) has published the comprehensive list of successful candidates who appeared in MAHCET 2018 MBA/MMS entrance exam on March 10 and 11, 2018 in multiple sessions. The result contains the name of the candidates, their MAH CET score and percentile score.
One of the key reasons for the cut offs to go up in admission 2018 to top MBA colleges is higher score awarded to the candidates and more number of candidates scoring higher percentile.
MAHCET 2018 Result: Comparative Analysis
In fact, the highest percentile of 99.99 in MAHCET is awarded this year to the score range of 165 to 149 as against 136 to 145 marks last year. This is bound to increase the cut offs to higher level.

Top Scorers in MAH MBA/MMS CET 2018
The highest percentile of 99.99 in MAHCET 2018 has been awarded to all the 14 candidates who have scored marks between 149 to 165 as against 136 to 145 last year. This has increased the chances of higher cut offs in JBIMS, SIMSREE, K J Somaiya and other top MBA colleges as compared to last year lower cut offs.
952 candidates between 99 and 99.99: Low scorers to check admission prospects
The highest percentile of 99.99 is awarded at the highest score of 165 which continues to the score as low as 149. There are 952 candidates between 99 and 99.99 percentile. The last candidate in club 99 is Wales Raymond DSouza who has scored 99.03 percentile at a score of 120 marks. A quick glimpse will bring out the fact:

It may be noted that the gap between fractional percentile change is very less and therefore the close competition with high cut offs in seat allotment cannot be ruled out.
The scoring pattern in MAHCET 2018 is a clear indication that low scorers may not get admission opportunity in top MBA colleges through DTE CAP round. However, there are number of MBA colleges in Maharashtra who also conduct their own admission process and can offer you admission directly without depending upon DTE CAP round.
