You need at least 50% marks in any bachelor's degree from a recognised university. There is no entrance exam and no subject rule, so arts and commerce graduates can apply too. Final-year students can apply, but MAHE needs your final result before the admission order. If you score 70% in your degree, you can also try for the Scholar award.
| Requirement | What you need |
|---|---|
| Degree | Any bachelor's degree, 10+2+3 or equal |
| Marks | At least 50% in the degree, or an equal grade |
| Entrance exam | Not needed; a PGCUET score is a second route |
| Final-year students | Can apply; final result needed before the admission order |
You apply online, then MAHE makes a merit list and calls you for a personal interview. After the interview, MAHE sends a provisional admission offer to shortlisted students. You then pay the first year fee and send your documents. If you do not pay by the date on the offer, the seat goes to the next student.
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1. Apply online | Fill the MAHE admission form with your degree marks |
| 2. Merit list | MAHE ranks you on your degree marks |
| 3. Personal interview | Face the PI if you are shortlisted |
| 4. Offer and fee | Accept the provisional offer and pay the first year fee |
| 5. Admission order | Send your documents and final results to get it |
The only published cutoff is 50% in your degree, and MAHE does not publish a closing mark for this course. The merit list ranks you on degree marks, so a higher mark puts you higher. The personal interview then decides who gets the offer. The Scholar award needs 70% in the degree.
| What decides it | Mark or cutoff | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum to apply | 50% in the degree | MAHE PG eligibility, 2026 |
| Closing mark | Not published | MAHE does not release it |
| Scholar award | 70% in the degree | MAHE Scholarships 2026 |
