Balaji Institute of Modern Management (BIMM) Pune, a flagship institute of Sri Balaji University, follows a holistic admission process for its AICTE-approved MBA programs in the 2026-28 batch, where entrance exam scores like CAT, CMAT, MAT, XAT, and MAH CET carry 35% weightage alongside academics (30%) and GD/PI (35%). Unlike fixed-cutoff B-schools, BIMM equalizes all scores to CAT equivalents and evaluates overall profiles, including work experience (up to 10 extra points) and extracurriculars, making it accessible for diverse candidates. Indicative percentiles for 2026 remain stable from 2025 trends: CAT at 50, CMAT at 75, and MAT at 80 for general category, with 5-10 percentile relaxations for SC/ST/OBC, ensuring no rigid barriers for strong GD/PI performers.

Based on 2025 data, general category candidates needed CAT 50 percentile for shortlisting, rising slightly for competitive specializations like Marketing.
