Can I get admission in JBIMS, SIMSREE, K.J Somaiya, Welingkar through DTE CAP rounds? I have scored 94.2 percentile in CAT 2017.
I had a year drop in my engineering which I know is not very easy to explain in GD-PI process. So I want to know how can I get in colleges like JBIMS, SIMSREE, K.J. Somaiya, Welingkar etc. with 94.2 percentile in CAT without giving MAH-CET. I belong to Maharashtra State and from general category.

With general category, I guess it is difficult to get admission in the colleges you mentioned. You might have a slight chance in PUMBA, but, of course, you can appear for CET which compared to CAT is not difficult. So, getting a very good score in CET will definitely increase your chances of getting admission in JBIMS, SIMSREE, and PUMBA.

7 years agoHello Hars,
You have fair chances for KJ and WELINGKAR apply through DTE process. But I will suggest you to give MAH-CET as you are from Maharashtra which is in March. And as you have one year gap in engineering that really doesn't matter that much you just have a proper explanations for that.
Best of luck. -

7 years agoNo, the cuttoff for above mentioned college is 97 percentile, and you need to score better. I am from Pumba, so I can answer about this college in detail. -
You can apply for All India Seats through you CAT score. The cutoff percentile of JBIMS for All India Seats is usually 99.99 %. So, the chances are less on this front. However, you have good chances of getting calls from K.J.Somaiya and Welingkar. Since you are domicile of Maharashtra State, I would suggest you to appear for Maharashtra-MBA CET 2018. For JBIMS, last year the cutoff for general category was 99.92 percentile. You can check the cutoff of previous year's first cap round through the below link:

Through DTE CAP round, it is difficult to get into any of these colleges mentioned by you but you could apply for PGDM course of Welingkar as you stand a fair chance of getting through as they consider an overall score of GDPI, academics and your percentile. And PGDM course of Welingkar is the best as they offer a lot of opportunities like student exchange programs also Global Citizenship Programme and they offer placements in a lot of foreign firms which provides global exposure to the students.
