However, there are many alternatives for the Management aspirants who sometimes cannot cut to these top management colleges in Maharashtra. The journey does not end there for them. Several other popular management exams are conducted at the national level.

Exams like CMAT, CAT, and MAT allow students to get into some of the top Management Institutes in India including the IIMs (Indian Institute of Management). So all the management aspirants are suggested that in addition to applying for the MAH MBA CET exam, they must also explore the possibility of cracking the national-level management entrance exams.
