RIIM Pune MBA Eligibility
You need a bachelor degree of three years or more with 50% marks. Reserved category students from Maharashtra need 45%. You also need a MAH MBA CET score for a state seat, or a CAT, CMAT, MAT or ATMA score for the college round.

RIIM Pune MBA Admission Process
You write MAH MBA CET, register for CAP with the State CET Cell, fill your college choices and take the seat you are allotted. The college then holds a group discussion and a personal interview for its own seats. The State CET Cell allots every state seat on merit, not the college. Pay the seat fee by the date on the allotment letter, or you lose the seat.

RIIM Pune MBA Scholarships
The schemes here cut INR 25,000 to INR 5.90 Lakhs off the fee. The post matric scholarship for SC and ST students pays the most, as it covers the tuition fee in full. The state pays these through MahaDBT, so you apply online after you join. The college gives its own cut for a high entrance score.

RIIM Pune MBA Seats and Intake

Pune has a large employer base in banking, IT and manufacturing, so company visits are easy to set up.

Should you pick MBA at RIIM Pune?
This course suits students who want a sales, marketing or banking job in Pune and can pay a private college fee.
Pick it if:
You hold a MAH CET percentile in the mid 70s: the Open state seat closed at 74.77% in CAP round 1, so this college is within your reach.
You want a sales or marketing job in FMCG: ITC, Amul and Nestle come back to this campus every year, and their roles are sales and marketing.
You want to study in Pune: the campus is in Bavdhan, off the Mumbai Pune expressway, with the city's banking and IT employers an hour away.
You want the fee back fast: the fee is INR 5.90 Lakhs and the last batch averaged INR 5.95 LPA, so one working year covers it.
Skip it if:
You are counting on a top offer: the batch is 240 students, so the average of INR 5.95 LPA sits far below the INR 18 LPA highest offer.
You want a national name on your degree: the degree comes from Savitribai Phule Pune University and no NIRF management list carries this college.
You have a tight budget: a hostel room adds INR 85,000 a year, which takes the full cost to INR 7.60 Lakhs.
You will wait for the last state round: seats left after CAP go to the college round, where a CAT, CMAT or MAT score is read instead.
Counsellor's advice
If CAP gives you this seat and your percentile is near the Open close, take it and pay the first part. If you are still waiting on a CAT score, keep this college as your backup and apply in the college round.

Will your percentile get you a seat at RIIM Pune?
Pick the seat type you are applying for. The cutoff ranges are the published CAP round 1 closing percentiles.
Seat type
Open category, Maharashtra State seat
74.77% and above: yes, you are in. That was the CAP round 1 close for this seat type.
73.71% to 74.76%: almost there. Keep the choice on and wait for the later CAP rounds.
Below 73.71%: not this year. Try the college round with a CAT, CMAT or MAT score.
Open category, All India seat
78.29% and above: yes, you are in. That was the CAP round 1 close for this seat type.
73.71% to 78.28%: almost there. All India seats are fewer, so the close sits higher.
Below 73.71%: not this year. Try the college round with a CAT, CMAT or MAT score.
EDITOR'S NOTE
The CAP round 1 close is the safe number. Seats left after the last round go to the college round, where a CAT, CMAT, MAT or ATMA score is read instead of a CET percentile.
