Selection Procedure adopted for JBIMS MBA admission through CAP: The candidates are shortlisted on the basis of MAH CET scores. Thereafter, shortlisted candidates are asked to appear for a counselling round conducted by the MAH CET conducting body, DTE. The counselling process assigns management seats in the MAH CET participating B-schools on the basis of their ranks.
Each Maharashtra State candidate who appears in MAH CET will be assigned a state-level merit number on the basis of percentiles or scores obtained in MAH CET. The non-Marashtra state candidates who appear in CAT or MAH CET will also be assigned a state-level merit number on the basis of their scores/percentile, as mentioned in the scorecards.
Centralised Admission Process (CAP) 2025: For the current academic year, DTE will conduct a total of four rounds of centralized admission. The CAP will consist of three rounds by centralized allotment, wherein eligible candidates have to fill out separate online option forms for respective rounds. The fourth round of CAP will be conducted through counselling only for the eligible Maharashtra State candidates.
Seats will be allotted to students as per their merit, as per the options filled in the counselling forms, and the number of seats available at the stage of CAP rounds—one, two, and three.
Candidates securing allotment are required to confirm the admission by reporting at the institute mentioned in the allotment along with the original certificates.
JBIMS Mumbai is a part of MAH CET Counselling. Students for final admission are selected on the basis of MAH CET Counselling. There are two ways of participating in the MAH CET Counselling.
- The candidates, who have appeared in the test, can directly log in through their registration credentials.
- Candidates who have valid scores of CAT, XAT, ATMA, or GMAT but not MAH CET have to register.
The MAH CET Counselling application fee is Rs. 2000 for open category candidates from Maharashtra, outside Maharashtra, and J&K migrant candidates. The registration fee for the reserved category candidates is Rs. 1800. Only those candidates who qualified in the results of MAH CET will be able to take part in CAP.
Changed Process: In 2015, JBIMS did not participate in the Common Admission Process (CAP) or the counselling rounds for final admissions, but from 2016 onwards the institute started participating in the CAP process again for final admissions.
MAH CET scores are accepted by over 400 B-schools in Maharashtra. The test is taken by around 90,000 MBA aspirants across India.
Course Details: The course content is common for all students in the first year as per the guidelines of Mumbai University. Specialisation is offered in the second year (MMS II) when core subjects are taken up by students. The institute also offers electives throughout the course.
Candidates are required to have a practical approach to learning by doing project work, field studies, market research, and case studies as a part of their course curriculum. Evaluation is done on the basis of student’s participation and performance throughout the semester, like participation in the class in various activities, quizzes, surprises, and pre-announced midterm tests. A written test carries an almost equal weightage at the end of the term/semester.
Placement: JBIMS completes its final JBIMS MBA placement process by the end of February each year, with a slight increase in the average salary package. For instance, the JBIMS MBA average package increased to Rs. 18.91 LPA from Rs. 18.76 LPA in 2017.
As many as 69 companies recruited our students for BFSI & IB, consulting, FMCG, Healthcare, manufacturing, Pharmaceutical, Retail, Telecom and Technology sectors. BFSI is the highest recruiting sector. Top recruiters are Abbott, Aditya Birla Group, Capgemini, Citibank, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, HUL, ICICI Bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co., JSW, McKinsey & Company, etc.
