It is tough to compare which institute is easier to get admission into for BA courses among Somaiya Vidyavihar University and MIithibai College. Both of the institutes are privately owned and have similar reputations in Mumbai. However, if we compare the admission process, SVU Mumbai accepts the scores of the entrance examination CUET and SVU ET for admission to BA courses and Mithibai College offers admission on the basis of merit. 

Candidates can choose any of the institutions according to their preferences. If candidates have secured good scores in their higher senior secondary or equivalent, they can get admission to Mithibai by merit on the basis of their achieved scores in Class 12. 

On the other hand, if candidates have not secured satisfactory scores in their Class 12, they can perform well in the entrance examination i.e., CUET/ SVU ET to enrol in the BA course at Somaiya Vidyavihar University.

2. Application Submission: Filling the online application form on GIBS' website.

3. Entrance Exam: Qualifying with the required percentile in the entrance exam.

4. Selection Rounds: This usually involves a Written Ability Test (WAT), Group Discussion (GD), and Personal Interview (PI). GIBS conducts these rounds at its Bangalore campus.
