Who can apply for MAH MBA CET 2027?
You can apply if you have, or are about to get, a bachelor’s degree of at least three years in any discipline from a university recognised by UGC or AIU. The 2026 brochure set these rules:
- At least 50% aggregate marks in graduation, or equivalent.
- At least 45% for backward class, EWS and PwD candidates who belong to Maharashtra.
- Final-year students can appear for the CET and must meet the marks rule at admission.
- Marks are rounded to two decimal places. If your university gives CGPA, its own conversion method is used.
Candidates from outside Maharashtra can also take the test. For CAP admission they may instead use a valid CAT, CMAT, XAT, ATMA, MAT or GMAT score.
