JBIMS Mumbai will not be conducting any GD-PI for admission to MMS 2016-18 batch and the entire admission process at Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (JBIMS) Mumbai will be through Centralized Admission Process (CAP) to be conducted by DTE Maharashtra.
Confirming the admission process through CAP 2016, JBIMS has announced ‘Admission for Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies, Mumbai for two years Masters in Management Studies (MMS) programme will be done through Centralised Admission Process (CAP) of Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), Government of Maharashtra.’
Accordingly, instead of appearing in separate GD-PI process which was conducted by JBIMS for admission 2015, now the candidates will have to participate in CAP 2016 to be conducted by DTE Maharashtra sometime in May-June 2016 for admission to flagship MMS 2016-18 batch at JBIMS. Besides no separate application is proposed to be submitted to JBIMS, Mumbai as the allotment of the B-school will be decided in CAP round.
JBIMS got the autonomous status in 2014 and accordingly the highly ranked B-school which is affiliated to Mumbai University conducted and finalised its own admission process including conducting the GD-PI round for 2-year full time Masters in Management Studies (MMS) Programme in 2015. The admission process at JBIMS was over well within time, while the CAP round at DTE Maharashtra continued to linger-on. However, for admission 2016 JBIMS will again be following the DTE-CAP 2016, instead of finalizing the admission process on its own.
High scorers in CMAT/XAT/MAT to get JBIMS
Last year JBIMS accepted only CAT and MAH-CET exam scores as the final admission round was conducted by this B-school as an autonomous body. However, in academic year 2016-17 the rules laid down by DTE Maharashtra for admission to 2 years full time MMS programmes would be followed. Accordingly, the candidates who do not appear in MAHCET 2016 but have appeared in CAT 2015/ XAT 2016/CMAT 2016/ MAT 2015-16 can also register for CAP 2016 if they wish to be considered for admission in JBIMS, Mumbai and other top rated Maharashtra B schools.
The chances are that high percentilers in CMAT 2016, MAT 2015-16 or XAT 2016 apart from CAT 2015 and MAHCET 2016 takers may get admission opportunity to JBIMS as DTE Maharashtra requires and allows a candidate to participate in CAP 2016 round without appearing in MAH-CET 2016 but score in one of the above national level entrance exams has been made mandatory.
JBIMS: Application process
Candidates desirous of seeking admission in JBIMS, Mumbai now do not have to apply separately to this institute but have to register and apply for MAH-MBA CET 2016 and pay the requisite fee.
This will entitle you to appear in MAH-MBA CET 2016 and in Centralized Admission Process (CAP) 2016 to be conducted by DTE Maharashtra after declaration of CET 2016 result on March 29, 2016. You may choose not to appear in the written exam of MAH-MBA CET 2016 if you have already obtained very good score in other national level exams.
However, it should be remembered that DTE Maharashtra considers the best of the many scores for the admission to MBA/MMS programmes in Maharashtra B-schools including JBIMS and therefore
taking MAHCET 2016 will be a good option, as it may improve your score and you may be able to be shortlisted on the basis of your best scores.
