One of the advantages of being Maharashtrian Student is that the cutoff for admission to a particular college would be less whereas it would be quite high for an Outside Maharashtrian candidate. Again, there will be less number of seats reserved for OMS candidates that is why the cutoffs would be quite high. For example, in JBIMS there is only 18 seats for OMS candidates. In Welingkar, there is also 18 seats for OMS candidates.
