Direct admission to PUMBA (Department of Management Sciences, University of Pune) is not possible as per their admission guidelines. PUMBA offers admission to its MBA program through a centralized admission process based on the scores of MAH CET (Maharashtra Common Entrance Test), CAT (Common Admission Test), CMAT (Common Management Admission Test), or GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test).
As you have mentioned that you scored a very low percentile in MAH CET, you may still have other options to consider. See if you have enough CAT or GMAT score. Firstly, you can try for other MBA colleges which accept admission through other entrance exams or even direct admission. Secondly, you can opt for a job or take up some relevant work experience for a year or two and then apply for an MBA later.
Explore all possible options before making a decision. You can also contact the admission office of PUMBA for more information regarding their admission process and eligibility criteria. For better reference check the table below;
