ISMR Pune Admission 2026: Eligibility & Application Process

ISMR Pune Admission 2026 is currently shown as open on the institute’s official website for MBA, BBA and BCA programmes. ISMR Pune offers a 2-year MBA and 3-year BBA and BCA programmes. The MBA admission process considers scores in MAH-MBA CET, CMAT, CAT, MAT, XAT, ATMA and GMAT, followed by counselling and a telephonic interview. BBA and BCA admissions are linked to the Maharashtra CET admission process.

The MBA requires 50% marks in graduation, with 45% for reserved categories. The institute also gives preference to candidates who have maintained 60% throughout their academic career. ISMR Pune is affiliated with Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) and its programmes are approved by AICTE. ISMR Pune's official website currently displays “Admission Open” for MBA 2026-27 and BBA/BCA A.Y. 2026-27. The institute had earlier listed June 30, 2026 as the MBA application deadline. Since that date has passed, candidates applying now should confirm the availability of seats and the applicable admission window directly with the institute.

ISMR Pune Important Dates 2026

The admission timeline for ISMR Pune includes entrance-exam schedules and the institute's own application process. The key point for September 2026 applicants is that the college website continues to show admissions open, while the earlier MBA deadline of June 30, 2026 has already passed.

The Maharashtra State CET Cell also issued a 2026 notice allowing candidates who appeared for MHT-CET 2026 (PCM/PCB) to use their scores for BBA, BCA and BMS admissions, with registration extended up to July 26, 2026. The CET Cell separately stated that the BBA/BCA/BMS online application process for A.Y. 2026-27 commenced on July 6, 2026.

Because CET schedules can change, candidates should follow the relevant 2026 admission portal for the latest CAP notices rather than relying on older dates.

ISMR Pune UG Admission 2026

ISMR Pune offers BBA and BCA at the UG level. Both programmes are of 3 years and are affiliated with SPPU. The institute states that BBA and BCA admission follows the admission policy of the affiliating university and requires a valid state-level entrance score.

The institute's BBA/BCA FAQ does not state a separate fixed percentage requirement on the current page. Instead, it directs candidates to the eligibility rules of the affiliating university and specifies a valid state-level entrance score. This is important because the earlier 50%/45% UG eligibility figures should not be treated as the current official ISMR-specific rule unless confirmed against the applicable 2026 admission policy.

For BCA, the Maharashtra State CET Cell lists ISMR Pune under Institute Code 16301. The latest accessible institute record identifies it as an unaided, non-autonomous, non-minority institute affiliated with SPPU, with 60 BCA seats in the listed intake.
