Hello Greetings

To determine if an MBA can be pursued without CET in a specific college, we need to know the name of the college.


However, I can provide general information. Many colleges offer MBA programs with admission processes that don't require CET scores. These colleges might accept scores from other entrance exams like CAT, MAT, XAT, or GMAT. Some colleges might also offer management quota seats or consider merit-based admission.


To confirm the admission process for a specific college, I recommend:


1. Visiting the college's official website.

2. Contacting the college's admission office directly.

3. Checking the college's admission brochure or prospectus.


Please provide the name of the college you're interested in, and I'll do my best to provide more specific information.

Have a great day

Hello aspirant,

For admission to MBA/MMS programs connected to Maharashtra state universities, the MAH-MBA-CET is a state-level entrance exam.

But there are many good colleges which give you admission without CET exam. But since here you have not mentioned the name of college, I can not give you the accurate answer.

I suggest you to ask the question with the college name so that I can help you better.

Thank you

Hello,

Yes, several colleges offer direct admission for the MBA course irrespective of CET results. Admission for such colleges generally depends on a particular college. Several private and deemed-to-be universities have open policies in case of an MBA course where no CET is usually required, although entrance exams CAT, MAT, XAT, or GMAT can be expected or their personal entrance exam can be followed along with an interview.

In some cases, direct admission is offered based on academic performance in undergraduate studies or work experience. However, this is more common in private colleges and less likely in reputed government institutions or colleges with stringent admission criteria.

Verify the college's accreditation (AICTE or UGC approval) and placement records before proceeding. A degree from a non-recognized college may limit career opportunities. Always confirm admission requirements from the college's official website or admissions office.
