Symbiosis International (Deemed) University has officially announced the complete schedule for its two major undergraduate entrance examinations for the 2026 academic session. The university has released the dates for the Symbiosis Entrance Test (SET) 2026 and the Symbiosis Institute of Technology Engineering Entrance Examination (SITEEE) 2026, marking a crucial timeline for thousands of aspiring students.
Key Dates and Application Timeline
The university bulletin confirms that the entrance tests will be held on two separate days in May 2026. The Symbiosis Entrance Test (SET) 2026 is scheduled for 2 May 2026, from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM. Following this, the SITEEE 2026 for engineering aspirants will be conducted on 10 May 2026, from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM.
Prospective candidates can mark their calendars, as the application window for both examinations will open simultaneously on 10 April 2026. From this date onwards, eligible students will be able to access and complete the online registration forms on the official university portal.
Examination Fees and Programme Costs
Applying for these entrance tests involves a structured fee payment. Candidates must pay a registration fee of ₹2,250 for each test they choose to appear for. Beyond this, an additional financial step is required for programme selection.
For every academic programme a candidate selects, a separate programme registration fee of ₹1,000 is applicable. The university has explicitly stated that this programme fee is strictly non-refundable and non-transferable under any circumstances.
Courses and Admission Criteria
The Symbiosis Entrance Test (SET) 2026 serves as the gateway for admission into a variety of undergraduate programmes. These include popular courses like Business Administration, Computer Applications, Mass Communication, and Economics.
On the other hand, the SITEEE 2026 is exclusively for candidates seeking admission to the Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) programme offered by the Symbiosis Institute of Technology.
In a significant update for candidates planning to take both tests, the authorities have clarified the selection process. If a candidate appears for more than one test, the higher score will be considered for the final percentile calculation. The university has also confirmed that no score normalisation procedure will be applied for these examinations.
Result Declaration and Important Guidelines
The results for both SET and SITEEE 2026 are slated to be announced on 20 May 2026. It is important to note that the scores will be valid only for admissions to Symbiosis International (Deemed) University. Final admission will be based purely on merit, the candidate's performance in the respective entrance exam, and any further selection rounds mandated by the university.
The university has issued crucial advisories for applicants:
- Ensure you declare and maintain a single, functional email address and mobile number throughout the entire admission cycle.
