KES Shroff College uses merit and entrance based routes for admission in 2026. BA and B.Com selection depends on HSC marks, while programmes such as BCA and MBA follow the Maharashtra State CET Cell CAP process.

The autonomous college is affiliated with the University of Mumbai, and every degree carries the university seal. BAF, BBI and B.Sc IT are non-AICTE programmes under the Faculty of Commerce and Faculty of Science. The MAH BHMCT/BCA/BBA/BMS/BBM CET application fee is INR 1,300 for Open category applicants and INR 1,000 for eligible Maharashtra Reserved, EWS, Orphan and PwD applicants.

  • Maharashtra domicile applicants receive preference in every admission route managed through State CET Cell CAP.
  • The Maharashtra government reservation rules cover SC, ST, VJ-NT, OBC, SBC, EWS and PwD applicants.
  • BA and B.Com selection is based only on the HSC aggregate, with no entrance examination.
  • Every UG degree applicant must first complete pre-enrolment on the University of Mumbai SAMARTH portal. Registration on the college portal is a separate compulsory step.

KES Shroff College UG Admission 2026

UG admission follows two routes. BA, B.Com, BAF, BBI and B.Sc IT applicants complete University of Mumbai SAMARTH pre-enrolment and are considered through HSC merit. BMS, BCA and BBA are AICTE-regulated courses for which the State CET Cell prepares the merit list from MAH BHMCT/BCA/BBA/BMS/BBM CET scores.

BA and B.Com Eligibility Criteria

Programme Eligibility
BA Passed 10+2 from a recognised board with at least 45% aggregate, or 40% for a reserved category applicant
B.Com Passed 10+2 in Commerce or another stream with at least 45% aggregate, or 40% for a reserved category applicant

BA and B.Com Selection Process

There is no test or interview for BA and B.Com. The University of Mumbai first creates a merit pool from students who have registered, after which KES Shroff College releases merit lists for individual rounds. The cutoff for students from the college's in-house junior college is slightly lower than the cutoff applied to outside applicants. Separate cutoffs are used for reserved categories under the Maharashtra reservation policy.

BA, B.Com and Other Merit-Based UG Application Process

  • Complete registration on the University of Mumbai SAMARTH portal at muugadmission.samarth.edu.in.
