The panel evaluates the applicants based on their general awareness, academic background, communication skills, extra-curricular participation and overall personality.

SET Written Ability Test (WAT)

In this round, candidates will have to complete two tasks: a picture-based writing test and a short answer on a set topic on the spot. In previous admission cycles, the WAT was sometimes conducted on the same day as the SET exam.

SET Studio Test (for SCMC applicants in Pune)

If you are applying to Symbiosis Centre for Media and Communication (SCMC) in Pune, you will also have to appear for a Studio Test. This test is conducted after the PI-WAT round and is held only at designated centres.

SET Document Verification

Candidates will have to undergo a thorough verification of their academic and personal documents at the counselling venue. It is important to carry both the original and self-attested photocopies for verification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ans: After the SET 2025 results is declared, each participating Symbiosis institute will release its own cutoff list. Based on this, shortlisted candidates will be invited for the next round of admissions i.e. Personal Interaction (PI), Group Discussion (GD), Written Aptitude Test (WAT), or Studio Test (ST), depending on the course.

If you wish to apply to any Symbiosis college that you did not choose while filling the SET form, you will have to apply to those institutions separately. In the meantime, candidates can start preparing for the PI/GD/WAT round by improving their soft skills and overall personality.

If you are not satisfied with your score, you can appear for SET again in the next cycle. The score of SET 2025 is valid for only one academic year.

Ans: No, the SET cutoff is not released on the day of the result. Each participating Symbiosis institute announces its own cutoff a few days after the result is declared, after the shortlisting process begins. The cutoff varies from college to college and is usually based on the scores of the shortlisted candidates for the subsequent rounds like Written Aptitude Test (WAT) and Personal Interaction (PI). For reference, top institutions usually have cutoffs ranging from 45 to 89 as per the category.

As per the previous trend, the expected cutoff for general category candidates is around 89, whereas for reserved category it can be lower - around 50 for SC and 48 for ST. However, the final cutoff is confirmed only after the official announcement by the individual institution.

Ans: No, qualifying for the SET exam alone does not guarantee direct admission. After the results are declared, candidates will have to participate in the next stage of the selection process conducted by the respective Symbiosis Institute. This includes a Written Aptitude Test (WAT), Personal Interaction (PI), and sometimes a Group Discussion (GD) depending on the course or institute.

Each Symbiosis Institute publishes its own cutoff based on the SET score. Only those who meet the required cutoff are invited for the next round. Also, factors like academic performance in class 10th and 12th, work experience (if any), communication skills and overall personality are also considered during the final admission.

SET is the first stage; admission is granted based on the combination of your SET score and how well you performed in the WAT-PI or GD round, along with your academic profile and other eligibility parameters.

Ans: The final SET score is calculated based on the number of correct answers a candidate gives in the test. 1 mark is given for each correct answer and there is no negative marking for an incorrect answer. Also, if a question is not answered, no marks are added or deducted.

The total marks for the SET exam are 60, and the weightage according to the section is as follows:

  • General English - 16 marks
  • Quantitative Aptitude - 16 marks
  • Analytical and Logical Reasoning - 12 marks
  • General Awareness - 16 marks

Aspirants are advised to answer the questions carefully. Since there is no penalty for incorrect answers, it is wise to attempt only those questions in which they are confident. Random guessing is not advisable, as it cannot improve the score meaningfully.

Only those candidates who meet the cutoff criteria based on their SET scores will be invited for the next stage of the selection process, such as Personal Interaction (PI), Written Aptitude Test (WAT), or Studio Test (for specific courses).

Ans: No, Symbiosis International (Deemed University) does not provide any option for re-evaluation or re-testing of SET exam results after the declaration of results. The evaluation process is automated and carefully monitored, leaving no scope for manual review or re-totaling.

However, if candidates have doubts about any particular answer, they can review the official SET answer key (if published by the authority). In case of discrepancies, there is usually a provision to raise objections within a specified time frame.

For further clarification or concerns regarding your score, it is advisable to directly contact the admissions office of the institute you are applying to. They can guide you on the next possible steps, if any.

Ans: SET scores are valid only for the academic year in which the candidate appears for the exam. For example, if you appear for the SET exam in 2025, your score will be valid only for admission in the academic batch 2025-2028, depending on the duration of the course.

If you decide to take a gap year or skip admission for that session, your SET score will not be considered valid for the next year. In that case, you will have to appear for the exam again to be eligible for admission.

It is important to check the eligibility and admission guidelines of the specific Symbiosis Institute you are applying to, as they may clearly mention which SET session or stage is valid for admission in that year. Always use your most recent SET score while applying, as older scores are not accepted in subsequent admission cycles.
