SRTMUN Admission Process

The university also conducts its own Pre-PhD Entrance Test for research admissions.
MBA and MCA Admission
MBA admission is through MAH-MBA CET, conducted annually by the Maharashtra CET Cell. Candidates with a valid CET score participate in Centralised Admission Process (CAP) rounds for seat allotment. SRTMUN’s MBA is offered in Finance, Marketing, and HR specialisations.
- Eligibility: Graduation with 50% (45% for reserved categories)

MCA follows the same structure through MAH-MCA CET. Eligibility requires a graduation degree with Mathematics as a compulsory or optional subject.
B.Pharm and M.Pharm Admission
B.Pharm admission is through the MH-CET Pharmacy examination conducted by the Maharashtra CET Cell. Candidates need 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology or Mathematics. M.Pharm requires B.Pharm with a minimum of 55%, with GPAT scores considered for merit ranking.
UG (BA, B.Com, B.Sc, BCA, BBA) Admission
Undergraduate programmes in arts, science, and commerce are admission through direct merit in 10+2 marks. Students apply to affiliated colleges or directly to university departments. No entrance exam is required. BCA additionally accepts MH-CET scores for some affiliated colleges.
PhD Admission
SRTMUN conducts a Pre-PhD Entrance Test (PET) twice annually across all research disciplines. Candidates with a relevant postgraduate degree with a minimum of 55% (50% for SC/ST/OBC) may appear. PET-qualified candidates are interviewed by the university’s Research and Recognition Committee before admission to the PhD programme.
