Ironically, when JBIMS participates in DTE-CAP round, the exam scores accepted by this B-school are more but when it conducts its own admission process it accepts only two exams MAHCET and CAT. However, it appears that AICTE has asked all the Maharashtra B-schools participating in CAP round to accept CMAT scores by all means, it appears that JBIMS alongwith other Maharashtra MBA colleges may accept CMAT 2018 scores. The admission process at JBIMS during the past few years reveals this fact:

JBIMS increases fee by 300%
JBIMS Mumbai has remained the most preferred campus for MBA aspirants due to its legacy, high industry connect, good placements and low fee structure controlled and regulated by Shikshan Shulka Samiti (SSS) of Government of Maharashtra.
However, after being awarded the autonomous status, JBIMS has suddenly got out of the DTE-Maharashtra control and increased its fee by 300% last year.
Fee structure of JBIMS, Mumbai
Category of student
Earlier Annual Fee for MMS
Revised Annual Fee for MMS
Percentage increase
Domestic General category
Rs.1,02, 290/-
Rs 3,00,000/-
293%
Announcing the substantial hike in fee, JBIMS Mumbai released the brief note on Revision of MMS Course Fees from the academic year 2017-18 stating Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (Autonomous) announces the revision of course fees for its 2-year Masters in Management Studies (MMS) Programme. From the year 2017-18 onwards, the revised fees will be INR 3 Lakhs p.a for General Students.
Apart from the domestic general category candidates JBIMS has increased the fee for NRI/PIO candidates as well and had informed For NRI/FN and PIO students will be charged twice the amount of fee for General Students i.e. INR 6 lakhs p.a. It means the 2 years MMS programme fee for the NRI/FN and PIO students will stand increased to Rs. 12 lakhs.
In terms of percentage hike in fee structure, JBIMS has left behind the IIMs who have resorted to 10 to 20% fee hike periodically. The 300% fee hike at JBIMS is the only example of steep fee increase in MBA/MMS/PGDM programmes.Read more
JBIMS with only 8 Core faculty members
Stuck to its intake of 120 students in each academic session, JBIMS Mumbai has good industry connect and large alumni base due to its legacy. One of the surprising factors in learning process at JBIMS is that it has only 8 permanent core faculty members on its roll.
However, the number of visiting faculty from corporate and industry is more than 60. This number drives the students towards high industry exposure that attracts more students at JBIMS, Mumbai.

Admission 2018 Announcement
In case JBIMS decides to adopt its own admission process for MMS 2018-20 batch, it would announce its admission criteria in the last week of December 2017. But, if JBIMS decides to participate in CAP 2018 to be conducted by DTE Maharashtra, the admission process may be delayed and is expected to be announced in the last week of February, 2018.
