Seat Distribution in Private Unaided Colleges
Private unaided MBA colleges in Maharashtra generally fill 85 percent of their seats through CAP. The remaining 15 percent seats fall under the institute-level or management quota. Vacant CAP seats carried forward to the institutional round are filled directly by the respective institutes.
This is the last chance for MBA and MMS aspirants in Maharashtra this year. No further CAP round will be held after Round 4. Candidates who miss the September 14 deadline will have to wait for the next admission cycle.
