hello aspirant,
The following analysis is based on previous year cutoff and it keeps changing every year due to many factors like total students appearing for exam,difficutly level of paper etc.As you did not mention your category considering you from GEN category,you have tough chances to fetch seat in dl dalmia college,the cutoff of last year for nl dalmia college mumbai was 90 percentile in mat,and in cmat the cutoff for the same was 85 percentile.however you have few chances for SIES college of management studies ,mumbai as the cutoff in mat last year was 80.
to get a personalised report on what all choices of colleges you have for your score refer to: https://bschool.careers360.com/pathfinder/mat
