As a non-Maharashtra candidate, you are eligible to take all the entrance exams that the institute accepts, including the Maharashtra CET. It is a common misconception that non-Maharashtra candidates are not eligible to take CET, but this is not the case. CET is one of the widely taken entrance exams and is considered to be more challenging compared to other exams such as CMAT, MAT, and ATMA.
In recent years, the institute has accepted CET, CMAT, MAT, and ATMA for admission. It is not yet clear what the admission process will be for the next academic year, but it is assumed that it will be similar to the previous years.
Taking multiple entrance exams, such as CET, CMAT, MAT, and ATMA increases your chances of getting admitted to the institute. To have a better chance of getting admitted, you should aim for a percentile of 99.99 or 99.98. Keep in mind that the competition is tough, especially for the limited number of seats available for non-Maharashtra candidates, which is currently 18.
