DTE Maharashtra is going to conduct online Common Entrance Test (CET) for management courses across Maharashtra on March 14 and 15, 2015 at the various test centres across the country. Announcing the entrance exam dates of MAH-CET 2015 for MBA/MMS 2015-17 batch in various B schools in Maharashtra, Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) Maharashtra has issued the notification bearing ref no.2A/ADM/MBA-MCA/CET/2015/48 dated January 8, 2015.

 

Directorate of Technical Education has clarified that the Common Entrance Test for admission to MBA/MMS/PGDM/PGDBM courses 2015-16 in the AICTE approved B schools will be an online test and will be conducted on Saturday March 14 and Sunday March 15, 2015. The registration and application process for MAH-CET 2015 is yet to be opened.

MAH-CET 2015: A leading exam

 

Number of good B schools offer admission to the candidates based on MAH-CET scores. Around 45000 seats in various management courses across Maharashtra are filled up on the basis of MAH-CET 2015 scores. Candidates can explore better admission opportunity on the basis of MAHCET scores. Around 50 thousand candidates are expected to apply and appear in MAH-CET 2015.

 

In 2012 there were only 34 thousand seats for various MBA/MMS/PGDM programmes in Maharashtra, this number has now increased to 45 thousand.

 

Good Opportunity for MBA aspirants

 

The candidates who have taken CAT 2014 but couldn’t score high can explore admission opportunity in JBIMS and other top rated B schools on the basis of MAH CET. Number of B schools who used to accept CMAT/MAT scores in Maharashtra may no longer accept these scores and would prefer only MAH-CET scores. Hence it is of utmost importance that a candidate should appear in Maharashtra CET even if he has appeared in other exams.

 

Good ROI
The fee for MBA/MMS/PGDM programme in Maharashtra in a management institute taking part in DTE conducted CET is decided by ‘Shikshan Shulka Samiti’ in Maharashtra and it can be as low as Rs.1 lac to Rs. 3 lacs across Maharashtra. This fee structure is lower than the cost of pursuing MBA from private B schools in other parts of the country where the fee may be as high as Rs.8 to 14 lacs.

 

Placement in B schools in Maharashtra is also good and students of many institutes like JBIMS, SIMSREE, KJ Somaiya, N L Dalmiya, SIES, IESMCRC, MET, DSIMS, DY Patil, PUMBA, Singhad secure placement packages as high as the students in other top rated B schools.
