SIMSREE Mumbai — MMS (MBA) Admission 2026

SIMSREE Mumbai MBA Admission 2026 — Complete Guide

Sydenham Institute of Management Studies, Research and Entrepreneurship Education (SIMSREE), Mumbai is one of India’s best-value B-schools and, like JBIMS, a byword for exceptional return on investment. Founded in 1983 at Churchgate in the heart of Mumbai’s business district, it is described in its own admission notifications as “Government of Maharashtra’s Sydenham Institute of Management Studies, Research and Entrepreneurship Education”. Its flagship two-year Master of Management Studies (MMS) is AICTE-approved and is now a degree of Dr. Homi Bhabha State University (HBSU), Mumbai — SIMSREE is one of HBSU’s constituent institutes, and the official State CET-Cell CAP seat matrix lists HBSU as its home university. (SIMSREE was affiliated to the University of Mumbai from 1983 until HBSU was formed as a cluster university in 2019.)

✅ Sourcing: every figure on this page is from simsree.org (fee page, placement report, NIRF return, admission notifications) or the State CET Cell’s official CAP 2025/2026 documents, fetched 23 July 2026 — verify current-year details on the official source before payment.

For 2026 applicants the key facts are: admission is only through the MAH-MBA/MMS CET and the State CET Cell’s CAP (merit-only, no management quota, no GD/PI for MMS); the official fee is ₹69,000 per year (₹67,000 + ₹2,000 library, per simsree.org); and demand is enormous — the CAP 2025 Round-1 Open closing percentile was 99.75 for Maharashtra seats and 99.97 for All-India seats. Against that tiny fee, the institute’s official placement report for batch 2023-25 shows an average CTC of ₹15.10 L — which is why a SIMSREE seat is so prized.
