Sydenham Institute of Management Studies Research and Entrepreneurship Education (SIMSREE), Mumbai, has ongoing admissions for 2026. The institute accepts MHCET, GMAT, MAT, CAT, CMAT, XAT, and ATMA scores for its programmes.
MMS is one of the main courses at SIMSREE. This 2-year programme has a total fee of INR 1.38 Lakhs and an intake of 208 seats. Applicants need at least 50% marks in graduation and a valid MAH MBA CET, CMAT, CAT, MAT, or ATMA score. The entrance percentile carries almost all the weight during the Maharashtra Centralised Admission Process (CAP).
SIMSREE offers MMS in Marketing, Finance, Operations, HR, and Systems. A bachelor's degree with at least 50% marks is required. Maharashtra applicants from reserved categories need a minimum of 45% marks.
| Course | Total seats | Selection Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| MMS | 208 | MAH CET, CAT, or CMAT score, followed by Group Discussion and Personal Interview |
Applicants must first register for an accepted entrance examination and secure the required score. SIMSREE then prepares a shortlist. Selected applicants attend counselling, which includes a Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI).
The GD checks how applicants communicate and work within a group while discussing a given topic. During the PI, a panel asks the applicant questions. The entrance score, GD result, and PI performance together decide final selection. Applications are submitted online through the SIMSREE website or the MAH CET portal.
M.Sc Finance applicants must hold a bachelor's degree with at least 50% marks. Selection uses MHCET, GMAT, MAT, CAT, CMAT, or XAT scores, followed by a Personal Interview.
| Course | Eligibility | Selection Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Master in Management | Graduation with 2 years of work experience | Personal Interview, with no specific entrance examination required |
| M.Sc Finance | Graduation with 50% marks | MHCET, GMAT, MAT, CAT, CMAT, or XAT score, followed by PI |
For MMM, or Master's in Marketing Management, and MFM, or Master's in Financial Management, applicants need a bachelor's degree and 2 years of work experience. Each part-time programme admits 30 students. An entrance examination is not required, and selection is made through a Telephonic Interview (PI).
Master's in Management classes take place from Monday to Saturday, between 6:30 PM and 9:00 PM.
Applicants submit the form online through the SIMSREE website or the University of Mumbai portal. Mark sheets, certificates, and the other required documents must accompany the application. Selection is based on the applicable examination score and PI performance.
Admission to the PhD in Management Studies requires a master's degree. Applicants must qualify through the Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) or the PhD Entrance Test (PET) held by the University of Mumbai. Those who clear the examination appear before a panel for a Personal Interview.
| Course | Eligibility | Selection Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| PhD (Management Studies) | Postgraduation | JRF or PET score, followed by Personal Interview |
The final decision considers the qualifying examination result and the applicant's PI performance. The online form is available through the SIMSREE website or the University of Mumbai portal, and applicants must provide their mark sheets and certificates.
The course-wise closing percentiles for MMS are listed from the newest year to the oldest.
| Course | Closing percentile 2025 | Closing percentile 2024 | Closing percentile 2023 | Closing percentile 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Master in Management Studies (MMS) | 33.72 | 93.42 | 2.94 | 85.95 |
For courses requiring an entrance test, students first take an accepted examination such as CAT, CMAT, or MAH MBA CET. They then apply online to SIMSREE. The institute releases a cutoff, and applicants who meet it move to the Personal Interview stage. Final admission depends on performance in the entrance examination and PI.
Ques. How can an applicant strengthen a SIMSREE application beyond securing an entrance score?
Ans. A strong performance in the Group Discussion and Personal Interview during the CAP rounds can improve an applicant's chances. GD preparation should focus on clear communication and teamwork. For the PI, applicants should understand their resume, career plans, and basic management topics. Academic performance and work experience may also help. Confident participation and clear answers are important in both stages.
Ques. Is it possible to finish every SIMSREE admission step online?
Ans. Yes. Applicants can complete the form on the MAH CET portal or SIMSREE website and upload documents such as mark sheets. MAH CET, CAT, or CMAT scores are also submitted online. The Maharashtra government manages CAP rounds and document checks online. Depending on the year, the Group Discussion and Personal Interview may be held online or in person. Applicants should follow the SIMSREE website for the current process and document requirements.
Ques. What SIMSREE option may be available with a 99 percentile MAHCET result?
Ans. A 99 percentile MAHCET score may qualify an applicant for MMS. Its specialisations include Finance, HR, Marketing, Operations, and Systems. MMM and MFM do not use MAHCET scores because they require work experience and select applicants through Group Discussion and Personal Interview. PhD admission instead requires a JRF or PET score.
Ques. Are applicants who do not belong to Maharashtra allowed to seek SIMSREE admission?
Ans. Yes. Applicants from outside Maharashtra may compete for MMS through the All India quota, which has 27 seats out of a total of 180 seats. They need a bachelor's degree with at least 50% marks. Admission considers MAH CET, CAT, or CMAT scores and continues through the CAP rounds, Group Discussion, and Personal Interview. Application and eligibility details are available through the SIMSREE website and MAH CET portal.
Ques. Does SIMSREE give preference to MAHCET over CMAT for MMS admission?
Ans. No. SIMSREE accepts both MAHCET and CMAT for MMS without preferring one over the other. MAHCET is intended for institutes in Maharashtra and is used in CAP rounds, while CMAT is a national examination accepted by institutes across India. Both assess areas such as reasoning, English, and mathematics. Applicants focused on Maharashtra colleges may choose MAHCET, while those applying to several institutes across India may choose CMAT. Reviewing SIMSREE cutoff trends and preparing carefully for the selected test can improve admission chances.
