Of the 82,764 candidates who appeared for the state MBA-CET (Master in Business Administration-Common Entrance Test) on March 11, 79,410 have qualified for further stages of the admission process. The directorate of technical education (DTE) declared the results on its official website, on Monday at 5pm. “The results were slightly poor compared with the previous year though the question paper was based on similar principals like the previous years," said SK Mahajan, director, DTE. But, coaching centres and the candidates did not think so. Vinayak Kudva from IMS, a coaching centre for MBA entrance tests, said: “The results were as per expectations. None of our students have disappointed us.” Tejas Pande, an engineer from Bandra who scored 79 out of 200, said: “The result was not at all disappointing. I hope to clear the group discussion and personal interview rounds and get admission to a good institute." The test scores will be considered for the 42,165 MBA seats and 12,050 seats in post-graduate diploma in management in Maharashtra. This was the last year of the state MBA-CET. The All India Council for Technical Education initiated Common Management Admission Test will be held next year.
