Visit the official website of Symbiosis International University or the specific Symbiosis institute conducting the SET exam for detailed information.

  2. Check Eligibility: Ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria for the desired programme (s) you wish to apply for through the SET exam.

Q:   How many test centres can I choose for SET exam?

A:

Candidates can choose upto three SET test cities according to their preference. Candidates must very carefully select the cities as once the SET application form is submitted, they can't change city preference. They should choose the first city of preference as their hometome or where they are residing as the exam authorities will likely allot the test centres to candidates in their first city of preference. Candidates are allotted a test centre in second or third preference only if the seats have been filled or the exam centre has been cancelled at that location. Candidates should know that the SET test cities cannot be changed once the form is submitted even during the form correction window. 

Q:   Can I appear for more than one course through Symbiosis Entrance Test?

A:
Yes, you can appear in the SET exam for more than one course but you will be required to apply for each course separately. This means that you will have to fill two separate SET application forms and pay the application fee separately. Also, you need to pay INR 1000 per institute that you wish to take admission in.

Q:   Is mathematics necessary for SET exam?

A:

While a background in mathematics can be beneficial for cracking the SET exam, it is not an absolute requirement. The SET exam assesses candidates on various subjects related to language, general knowledge and reasoning, and mathematics is just one component of the syllabus.

Candidates from various academic backgrounds, including commerce, science, humanities, and others, can appear for the SET exam. Therefore, the assessment is designed to accommodate this diversity. While a mathematical foundation can give an edge to the candidates in the quantitative aptitude section, it's by no means obligatory.
