SIMSREE: Admission 2026, Fees, Courses, Cutoff, Ranking, Placement

SIMSREE Admission Dates 2027

Admissions at SIMSREE for MMS, MFM, and MMM are based on MAH MBA CET scores and conducted through the Maharashtra Common Admission Process (MAH CAP). The 2026-28 batch has been fully admitted. The 2027-29 batch follows the MAH MBA CET 2027 calendar.

The table below summarises the entrance exams and admission routes across all SIMSREE programmes for the 2027 cycle.

SIMSREE Courses and Fees

SIMSREE offers government-regulated postgraduate management programmes at some of the lowest fees available for comparable placement-outcome MBA programmes in Mumbai. The MMS is the flagship offering, with total fees of INR 1,38,000 for two years. All government-regulated programmes (MMS, MFM, MMM) are approved by AICTE and affiliated to the University of Mumbai.

MMS specialisations are Finance, Marketing, Operations, Human Resources, and Systems. The Finance specialisation is the most sought-after given SIMSREE’s location in Mumbai’s financial hub. The MFM and MMM programmes offer deeper, single-specialisation tracks for candidates committed to finance or marketing careers respectively.

SIMSREE Rankings

SIMSREE is regularly covered in major MBA rankings. The institute does not appear in the NIRF 2025 Management top-ranked list.

SIMSREE consistently ranks in the 24 to 35 range across national MBA rankings, positioning it among the top government B-schools in India. CRISIL has rated SIMSREE A** at the national level, and the institute is frequently cited for offering one of the highest ROI packages in management education given its low fee base.

SIMSREE Scholarships

Students admitted to SIMSREE under reserved categories are eligible for Maharashtra government scholarship schemes. Central government schemes are also applicable for eligible candidates.

Since SIMSREE fees are government-regulated and very low (INR 1,38,000 for the full MMS), most students manage programme costs without additional scholarships. The Maharashtra Post-Matric Scholarship primarily benefits reserved category students whose family income falls within the prescribed band.

SIMSREE Campus and Infrastructure

SIMSREE is situated at Churchgate, South Mumbai, one of the most accessible commercial hubs in the country. The urban campus houses classrooms, seminar halls, a management library, computer labs, and student activity spaces. The compact design is supplemented by Mumbai’s metropolitan infrastructure, with major financial and corporate institutions in the vicinity serving as live learning environments for students.

Separate hostel facilities for boys and girls are available near the campus. Monthly hostel charges range from INR 14,060 to INR 17,480. Churchgate railway station is within walking distance, providing connectivity across Mumbai’s extensive local train network.

SIMSREE vs K.J. Somaiya vs Welingkar Mumbai

Mumbai MBA aspirants with strong MAH MBA CET percentiles frequently compare SIMSREE with K.J. Somaiya Institute of Management and Welingkar Institute of Management, both prominent private MBA destinations in Mumbai that draw from the same Maharashtra applicant pool.

SIMSREE leads on fees, placement outcomes relative to cost, and location in the financial district. K.J. Somaiya offers a larger campus, a broader programme portfolio including undergraduate management, and a stronger alumni base in the corporate sector. Welingkar attracts candidates with interests in design thinking, innovation, and entrepreneurship through its distinctive curriculum model.
