Checking the closing percentile from previous CAP rounds on cetcell.mahacet.org gives the most accurate guidance on the required score.

Ques. Is the IBSAR MCA program approved by AICTE and affiliated with Mumbai University?

Ans. Yes, the Institute of Business Studies and Research Navi Mumbai is approved by the All India Council for Technical Education and is affiliated with the University of Mumbai. The 2-year full-time MCA program is structured across four semesters, with elective and project components in the final year.
