Admission:

The entrance exam was SNAP. Moderate difficulty and each year a specific section is tough. You can find the application form for SNAP on the website snaptest.org. The exams are conducted well and you get two tries to improve your score and your best score from those two tries is considered. The application form also includes payment of a fee for each college you apply so plan your colleges accordingly which you want to convert.

Admission:

The for which applied was MBA (general). The process was smooth and every step efficiently evaluate the quality of students. The first was a snap test followed by shorting. The second step was the Ge-PI-wat process, which was a wonderful experience for me and my fellow students. We go through all the processes and then we get the final result and according to that, we got the college. My journey begins from there. I join the college started attending classes to get to know about my batchmates and senior, all of them are helpful and wonderful. We have world-class faculty here and so on. The SIP process started around September and most of my batchmates and I get the sip. And seniors placement is 100%. As I got the reservation in the admission I just want to prove to everyone that I am worth getting admission. I proved myself by getting the summer internship in zero day company. Improvements as an we need to adopt online system as fast as we can.

Admission:

SIBM-Bengaluru is definitely a college that provides a plethora of opportunities to students, ranging from Live Projects to Placements in terms of career and also a good mix of co-curricular fields. The main differentiator of this institute is the growth rate at which it is progressing and the SIBM brand. The admission process is quite smooth. There is assistance provided to the students at every step of the process. The peer group at SIBM-Bengaluru is an added benefit to the package. We come across people with not just the mindset to complete an MBA, but people with dreams who want to achieve success. This is what defines the character & growth of the institute. Apart from that, the campus is not though quite huge, but a good fit packed with tremendous amenities.

Admission:

The admission process was seamless and structured with three rounds after the entrance exams, they were group discussion, written ability test and personal interview. The forms can be be found on the snap website (official symbiosis website) and the only improvement I would need in the process is that we should be allowed to pay for applications to different under SIU umbrella after we get out percentiles from our snap paper. As students who don't achieve 98+ percentile lose out on SIBM PUNE and SCMHRD, that means 2500 rupees are wasted. Rest all in the admission process is amazing
