|---|---|---|
| MMS – Finance | 143 – 146 | 60 |

Factors Affecting SIMSREE MAH CET Cutoff
Several variables shape the final closing score at SIMSREE in each CAP round:
- Total applicants: More students appearing in MAH MBA CET 2026 increases competition and pushes cutoffs higher.
- Paper difficulty: An easier exam results in higher average scores and a higher cutoff; a harder paper may ease it slightly.
- Seat intake: SIMSREE’s limited seats (approximately 60 per specialisation) mean even modest demand increases can shift the cutoff by 1 to 2 marks.
- Mumbai location premium: SIMSREE draws demand from across Maharashtra and other states, keeping its cutoff consistently among the state’s highest.
- Government-aided fee advantage: SIMSREE’s low fee structure attracts applications even from students who have offers at private colleges.
- CAP round number: CAP Round 1 always produces the highest cutoffs. Round 2 and Round 3 cutoffs may ease as some allotted students confirm seats elsewhere.
