Should you pick MHRD at JBIMS Mumbai?
This course suits graduates who want HR work in a big company and can pay the whole fee at admission.
Pick it if:
You have a CAT score but no MAH CET: the institute takes both exams, and 85 percentile on CAT is the published bar for the General list.
You want the fee back fast: at the average pay the whole course fee comes back inside the first working year, as the ROI tile shows.
You want HR work in a big company: Aditya Birla Group, HDFC and Adani Wilmar hire from this course, and the roles are HR business partner jobs.
You speak well in a room: about 300 applicants are called for 30 seats, and the group activity, interview and written test carry half the marks.
Skip it if:
You scored under 60% in Class 10 or Class 12: the institute checks both mark sheets, and 55% is the floor only for reserved categories.
You plan to wait for a CAP allotment: this course is not filled through the state CAP rounds, so you must apply on the institute portal yourself.
Your family can pay only in parts: the whole fee is due at admission, and reserved category students pay in full first as well.
You need a hostel room from day one: the institute does not promise one, so you check the university hostel and its fee on your own.
Counsellor's advice
If you clear the percentile bar on either exam, fill the institute form in the week the result comes out: the list is cut on percentile alone. Keep the whole fee ready before the in person round, because you pay it all on the day you take the seat.
MHRD Eligibility▾
Degree marks: A bachelor's degree of at least three years in any stream, with 50%. 45% for reserved categories.
School marks: At least 60% in Class 10 and 60% in Class 12. 55% for both if you are in a reserved category.
Exam needed: A MAH CET (the state entrance test) or CAT percentile from this cycle.
Percentile bar: 90 on MAH CET or 85 on CAT for the General list. 80 and 75 for reserved categories.
Final year students: You can apply, and you must pass by 30 Sep of the year you join.
MHRD Admission Process▾
Write the exam: Take MAH CET or CAT. Either percentile is read, so one of them is enough.

Wait for the shortlist: About 300 applicants are called from the percentile merit list, category by category.
Sit the in person round: A group activity of 40 marks, an interview of 50 marks and a written test of 10 marks.
Take the seat: Pay the whole fee and bring your originals. A missing paper cancels the offer.

In short
TISS Mumbai costs much less and pays more, but its HR seat is harder to win. If both call you, take TISS Mumbai; if only JBIMS Mumbai does, take this seat and do not wait.
In short
SCMHRD Pune pays a little more but costs about four times as much, and it reads a SNAP score. If you have no SNAP score, JBIMS Mumbai is the cheaper way into the same HR roles.
In short
XIMB costs more than twice as much and pays less on average. If JBIMS Mumbai calls you for the in person round, keep XIMB as the backup, not the first choice.
In short
IIM Ranchi pays about the same and costs far more, but it takes a much larger class. If your CAT percentile clears both, weigh the IIM tag against paying almost three times the fee.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on JBIMS Mumbai MHRD
Short answers to what students ask before they apply.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Write MAH CET or CAT and clear the percentile bar for your category. Then fill the form on the institute portal after the result. About 300 applicants are called for a group activity, an interview and a written test, and 30 get a seat.
What is the full fee for the two year course?▾
The course fee is INR 7 Lakhs for the two years, charged as INR 3.50 Lakhs a year. A hostel room, if you get one, adds about INR 16,000 over the course. The fee block above shows both totals.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
No. The whole fee is due on the day you take admission, and reserved category students pay in full as well. Keep the money ready before the in person round, or plan an education loan early.
What percentile do I need for a General seat?▾
You need 90 percentile on MAH CET or 85 percentile on CAT to apply as a General candidate. Reserved categories need 80 and 75. The checker above shows what each exam and category needs.
Does the institute give a hostel room?▾
It does not promise one. A University of Mumbai hostel room may be free, and you have to check the room and its fee with the hostel office yourself before you plan your costs.
Can I get the fee back if I leave the course?▾
You can cancel within 15 days of the start of classes, without sitting even one lecture, and claim a refund. The rules are the University of Mumbai ordinance, so read them before you pay.
Which scholarships can cut this fee?▾
State schemes pay back the tuition fee for SC, ST, OBC and open category students who meet the income rules, and the institute adds its own grant. The calculator above shows your total waiver and net fee.

JBIMS Mumbai: 2 Answered Questions
What is the difference if I choose FMS (Delhi), JBIMS (Mumbai) or SJSOM-IIT Bombay over IIM-B, SPJIMR and other such institutes that charge hefty for MBA courses?
Advait JoshiLives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Choosing a B-school can be a tricky decision especially when it comes to ROI. I understand that ROI is one of the most important factors when it comes to MBA courses since funding your education with loans come with its own set of challenges. But the institutes that you have mentioned above certainly surpass the challenges since they belong to the tier 1 category.
You might come across articles and blogs stating that FMS or JBIMS do not provide a typical MBA environment but for me, that discussion does not even make sense. What is an MBA environment after all? You spent 2 years of your life at the campus and wish to land a good job. FMS, JBIMS, and IIT Bombay all three have good market reputations, they home the best candidates and charge minimal fees. So, if ROI is even a little bit of a concern for you, go for these colleges without any second thought or regret.
What are the college timings for an MMS course at JBIMS and Sydenham?
Biswadip RoyStudied Finance at Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies
Any typical day at JBIMS depends on your workload and the ongoing semester. The duration of lectures is 3 hours with a small break. The lectures take place in the following shifts
7 am-10 am
2 pm-5 pm
6:30 pm-9 pm
There might be one, two, or three lectures depending on your course. Another set of events that constitute a major part of your day is committee-related events like competitions. Apart from that you are always busy preparing for your presentations and assignments. Attending guest lectures is mandatory and no one can evade them.
The first semester is the busiest as it’s packed with induction, committee election, summer placements, and lectures. You won’t be able to sleep more than 4-5 hours a day and then soon adapt to the strenuous college life.
