When to apply for MBA colleges? I am going to take up MAT exam this December.

Yes, MAT score valid for MAH CET counselling for MBA/MMS. Candidates can apply for admission to Maharashtra MBA colleges by registering for the CAP round under non-MAH CET category. MAH CET CAP is conducted in July-August, every year.

MAT cut off is not the only criteria for MBA admission. Candidates have to appear for Personal Interview and Group Discussion conducted by the institutes for final selection. Those who do not clear this round are not selected for admission.  

Yes, you could take admission to the MBA course with a MAT percentile of 70 if u belong to the General AI category. For this category, the IISWBM MAT cutoff 2025 required was 70 for the MBA in Human Resource Management course.
