Dear Aspirant,
Unfortunately you cannot apply to SCMS College Cochin. Their CMAT cutoff is 70%ile which will require atleast 200 marks. At your score, you are not eligible to apply for this college. I would suggest you should get some work experience and then give the exams again or prepare for another year and give your best shot in the next attempt. All the best!
Hi dear,
It is difficult to predict exactly that in which Colleges you can get seat for your CMAT score. It is because cut-offs depends on many factors and that's why they vary every year.
But based on previous year's cut-off trends and analysis, you have chances of getting seat in below mentioned Colleges for your CMAT score.
As you have not mentioned your Caste Category, I'm considering it as General Category and providing information based on it.
To check below mentioned link, to check previous year's cut-offs of CMAT and CMAT 2022 expected cut-off.

Good luck
