MMS admission at DSIMS follows DTE Maharashtra's Centralised Admission Process (CAP) for state-allotted seats, based on a valid MAH-CET, CAT or CMAT score and a Bachelor's degree with at least 50% aggregate marks. For Institute-Level seats, candidates apply online, pay a Rs 2,000 application fee, and submit the printed form with supporting documents within 7 days; admission follows DTE's inter-se-merit rank. Ph.D. admission follows the University of Mumbai's PET (or an exemption for NET/GATE-qualified candidates) plus a personal interview conducted by the institute.
