How the predictor works

The figures are each college's closing percentile in its latest admission round, compiled by Careers360.

JBIMS, SIMSREE, WeSchool, MET and PUMBA fill their MMS seats through the Maharashtra CAP. CMAT takers compete with CAT and MBA CET takers for the All-India seats there, which is why those cutoffs sit near 99 and above.

Most other CMAT colleges add a group discussion or written test and an interview. Clearing the cutoff gets you into that round.
