Symbiosis Pune Admission Cutoffs: Entrance Exam Requirements
Symbiosis Pune Cutoff 2025 - SNAP, SET & Program-Wise Admission
Symbiosis International University (SIU) Pune uses its own entrance exams - SNAP (Symbiosis National Aptitude Test) for MBA and SET (Symbiosis Entrance Test) for undergraduate programs. Unlike mass-market private universities, Symbiosis is a premium-tier institution with competitive cutoffs, particularly for SIBM Pune (MBA) and SLS (Law). SNAP is accepted across all 15 Symbiosis B-school campuses, but SIBM Pune has the tightest cutoffs - comparable to top 15 B-schools nationally.
MBA Cutoff - SNAP Exam (SIBM Pune)
| Program / Institute | SNAP Percentile (2024) | SNAP Score (out of 60) | Seats |
|---|---|---|---|
| SIBM Pune (flagship MBA) | 95-98 percentile | 48-52 | 180 |
| SCMHRD Pune | 90-95 percentile | 44-48 | 180 |
| SIBM Bangalore | 80-88 percentile | 38-44 | 180 |
| SIMS Pune | 70-80 percentile | 32-38 | 120 |
| SITM Pune | 65-75 percentile | 30-35 | 120 |
| SIBM Hyderabad | 70-80 percentile | 32-38 | 120 |
SIBM Pune (95-98 percentile SNAP) is the most competitive Symbiosis institute - on par with XLRI, MDI Gurgaon, and IIM Indore in cutoff difficulty. The SNAP exam is conducted 3 times in December, with the best score considered. After SNAP, shortlisted candidates undergo GE-PIWAT (Group Exercise, Personal Interaction, Writing Ability Test).
Law Cutoff - SLAT (Symbiosis Law Admission Test)
| Program / Institute | SLAT Score (out of 150) | CLAT Equivalent | Seats |
|---|---|---|---|
| SLS Pune (BA LLB) | 105-120 | CLAT 90-100 | 120 |
| SLS Pune (BBA LLB) | 100-115 | CLAT 85-95 | 120 |
| SLS Hyderabad (BA LLB) | 85-100 | CLAT 75-85 | 120 |
| SLS Nagpur (BA LLB) | 75-90 | CLAT 70-80 | 60 |
SLS Pune is ranked among India's top 10 law schools - cutoffs are competitive with NLUs ranked 6-10. Symbiosis Law School uses SLAT (its own exam) for admissions, though CLAT scores are sometimes considered for reference.
B.Tech Cutoff - SET
| Program (SIT Pune) | SET Score | JEE Main Equivalent | Seats |
|---|---|---|---|
| B.Tech CSE | 65-75% | 65-75 percentile | 120 |
| B.Tech IT | 60-70% | 60-70 percentile | 60 |
| B.Tech Electronics | 55-65% | 55-65 percentile | 60 |
| B.Tech Mechanical | 50-60% | 50-60 percentile | 60 |
Symbiosis Institute of Technology (SIT) Pune is a growing engineering school but not yet in the same league as VIT, SRM, or Manipal for B.Tech. The B.Tech cutoffs are moderate, and SIT's primary draw is the Symbiosis ecosystem and Pune location.
