BBA, BMS, BBM & BCA Admission in Maharashtra — CET and CAP
BBA, BMS, BBM, BCA and the integrated MBA/MCA courses are treated as professional technical courses in Maharashtra: candidates take the MAH-BHMCT/BCA/BBA/BMS/BBM CET and are then admitted through the State CET Cell's Centralised Admission Process.
One CET for five kinds of degree
The 2026 CET covers first-year BHMCT (4 years), BCA, BBA, BMS and BBM (3 or 4 years), MBA (Integrated), MCA (Integrated) and M.HMCT (Integrated) for 2026-27. Online registration ran from 14 January to 16 February 2026, with payment until 17 February 2026. [1]
In CAP, BBA/BMS/BBM and BCA are listed alongside engineering, pharmacy and architecture as full-time professional undergraduate technical courses, so the same CAP stages, reservations and document rules apply. [2]
Who can appear and who gets a CAP seat
- Indian citizen who has passed or is appearing in 10+2 or an equivalent exam.
- BCA / BBA / BMS / BBM: 10+2 pass with eligibility as per the admission policy of the affiliating university.
- BHMCT / M.HMCT (Integrated): 10+2 with at least 45% aggregate (40% for reserved categories, EWS and disabled candidates of Maharashtra). [1]
