Maharashtra represents India’s commercial, banking, and industrial core. Anchored by Mumbai (financial headquarters of the country) and Pune (engineering, automotive, and IT services cluster), the state accommodates over 350 accredited business schools and university departments.
Admissions in Maharashtra are divided between two distinct formats: MMS degrees governed by the State CET Cell Centralized Admission Process (CAP rounds) under Shikshan Shulk Samiti (FRA) fee caps, and autonomous PGDM programs governed by AICTE boards with independent selection schedules.
