Ans. MAH-MBA/MMS-CET (MAHCET) is the primary and mandatory exam for admission through the CAP (Centralized Admission Process) in Maharashtra, which covers the majority of seats at SIBM Sudumbare. If you have a valid CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT, or ATMA score, you may be considered for institute-level or management quota seats (against CAP vacancy), but these are limited in number. For the best chance of admission, it is strongly recommended to appear in MAHCET. The second attempt for MAHCET 2026 is scheduled on May 9, 2026, so students who missed the first attempt can still register.

Ans. MBA-Operations Management is highly suitable for engineering graduates, particularly those from mechanical, industrial, production, or manufacturing engineering backgrounds. The combination of engineering knowledge and operations management skills is highly valued by manufacturing companies. Prior work experience is not mandatory for admission, but students with 1-2 years of experience in manufacturing or supply chain roles may find the curriculum more relatable and may have better placement outcomes. Fresh graduates from engineering backgrounds are also well-placed to pursue this specialization.

Ans. SIBM Sudumbare offers MBA with Operations Management as a specialization under the SPPU curriculum, which covers both operations and supply chain management as integrated subjects. The SPPU MBA-Operations curriculum includes dedicated subjects on Supply Chain Management, Logistics, and Procurement alongside core operations subjects like Production Planning, TQM, and Project Management.

Students interested in supply chain careers can pursue the Operations Management specialization, which provides comprehensive coverage of both domains.
