DIMR MBA (Finance) FAQs
Ques. Is MAH-MBA/MMS CET mandatory for admission to DIMR Pune MBA Finance, or can I apply with CAT/CMAT scores?
Ans. MAH-MBA/MMS CET is the primary exam for admission through the CAP (Centralized Admission Process) conducted by DTE Maharashtra, and it is the most common route for admission to DIMR. However, DIMR also accepts CAT, CMAT, XAT, MAT, ATMA, and GMAT scores for institute-level (Against CAP) admissions. If you have a valid score in any of these exams and meet the eligibility criteria (50% in graduation), you can apply directly to DIMR during the Against CAP admission window, which typically opens in September after the CAP rounds are completed.
Ques. What is the actual total cost of doing MBA Finance at DIMR Pune for 2 years, including all charges?

In addition to this, students need to pay SPPU university examination fees, library fees, and other statutory charges separately, which are not included in the FRA-approved amount.

The admission is primarily through the MAH-MBA/MMS CET CAP process, and the institute has historically admitted students with a relatively accessible CET score range, making it a viable option for students who may not have very high percentile scores.

However, competition for the Finance specialisation specifically may vary based on the number of applicants opting for it.
