Factors Affecting SJMSOM Cutoff 2026

  • Number of Applicants: Higher registrations, especially from engineering backgrounds, can push cutoffs up by 1-2 percentiles.

  • Seat Intake: Fixed at around 115 for MBA, so limited seats mean tougher competition.
  • Reservation Policy: 27% OBC, 15% SC, 7.5% ST, 10% EWS, and 5% PwD quotas lower category-specific thresholds.
  • Profile Diversity: Gender diversity and work experience affect final shortlisting beyond cutoffs.
