Maharashtra MBA Admissions: Vacancies Rise Above 20%
In Maharashtra, many students applied to MBA programs, but many seats are still empty.
Over 20% of MBA seats remain vacant, a higher percentage than last year.
While more students were admitted this year compared to last, there are still a lot of empty seats.
Experts say that more seats are available, but the demand is concentrated in a few good colleges.
There has also been a decrease in the number of students applying for MBA programs this year, which has contributed to higher vacancy rates.

42,642 students confirmed admissions.
There were 53,509 available seats.
Vacancy rates increased from 16.4% last year.
