SET 2026 Qualifying Marks and Eligibility
There is no universal qualifying score for SET 2026. Each Symbiosis institute sets its own cutoff for shortlisting candidates to the PI round.

SET 2026 Merit List and Selection Process
The final merit score is calculated out of 100. The SET score is scaled to 70, and the Personal Interaction (PI) score carries 30 marks.
The final merit list is prepared by each Symbiosis institute based on the combined SET score and PI performance. The merit list was published on June 25, 2026.
Symbiosis institutes are completing admission rounds through July 2026. Candidates on a waitlist should check their institute portal regularly for movement.

SET Result Previous Year Statistics
Symbiosis does not publish exam-wide statistics such as total candidates registered, appeared, or qualified. The SET result is a score report with no universal pass/fail threshold.
What changes each year is the cutoff each institute applies to shortlist candidates for the PI round. The table below tracks result declaration dates and the reach of the test over recent years.
| Year | Test Cities | Result Declaration Date | Total Seats (Approximate) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 68 | May 20, 2026 | ~720 |
| 2025 | — | May 22, 2025 | ~720 |
| 2024 | — | May 22, 2024 | ~720 |
| 2023 | — | May 2023 | ~720 |
| 2022 | — | May 2022 | ~720 |
The table below shows the General category closing cutoff at SCMS Pune BBA — consistently the most competitive Symbiosis programme. The exam format changed in 2023: total marks moved from 150 to 60, so pre-2023 and post-2023 figures are on different scales and cannot be compared directly.
| Year | SCMS Pune BBA — General Cutoff | SCMS Noida BBA — General Cutoff | Total Marks (Scale) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 89 | — | /150 |
| 2023 | 37 | 29 | /60 |
| 2024 | 54 | 48 | /60 |
| 2025 | 44+ | 45+ | /60 |
| 2026 (Expected) | 35–48 | 27–48 | /60 |
On the new 60-mark scale, SCMS Pune's cutoff climbed sharply from 37 in 2023 to 54 in 2024. 2025 saw the cutoff ease back to 44+.
A score in the low-to-mid 30s still opens doors at campuses like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Nagpur. Aiming for 45+ puts a candidate in contention for Pune and Noida.

SET 2026 Scorecard — Frequently Asked Questions
I appeared for both SET Test 1 and Test 2. Which score appears on my scorecard?
If you appeared for both Test 1 (May 2) and Test 2 (May 10), Symbiosis automatically considers the higher of the two scores for shortlisting. Your scorecard reflects this better score — you do not need to choose or request anything separately.
What if I cannot log in to download my SET 2026 scorecard?
Try the "Forgot Password" option on the login page and reset using your registered email. If the problem continues after resetting, contact the Symbiosis helpdesk through the contact details listed on set-test.org — they can help restore access to your account.
SET 2026 Scorecard — What It Contains
The SET 2026 scorecard is your official performance document. You need it at any Symbiosis institute during the admission process, so keep both a printed copy and a saved digital file. Here is what the scorecard includes:
| Detail on Scorecard | Description |
|---|---|
| Candidate Name | As registered in the application form |
| SET ID | Your unique 7-digit application number |
| Roll Number | Assigned for the examination |
| Gender and Category | As declared during application |
| Section-wise Scores | Marks obtained in each section of the test |
| Total Marks | Out of 60 (1 mark per question, no negative marking) |
| Category Rank | Your rank among all test-takers within your category |
| Shortlisting Status | Whether you have been shortlisted for the PI round at a Symbiosis institute |
If you spot any error on your scorecard — wrong name, date of birth, category, or marks — report it to the Symbiosis helpdesk right away using the contact information on set-test.org. Errors left uncorrected can disrupt your admission process at the institute level, so do not delay.
SET 2026 Qualifying Marks and Eligibility
SET 2026 does not have a universal qualifying mark. Symbiosis does not set a minimum score that makes you automatically eligible for admission. Each Symbiosis institute decides its own cutoff based on the number of seats, the total applicants that year, and overall candidate performance. A score that gets you shortlisted at one campus may not be enough at a more competitive one — SCMS Pune consistently has the highest cutoffs among Symbiosis locations.
What does have a fixed threshold is the Class 12 eligibility requirement, which you must meet to be allowed to sit the exam:
| Category | Minimum Class 12 Percentage Required |
|---|---|
| General | 50% |
| SC / ST | 45% |
Meeting the Class 12 eligibility only lets you sit the exam — it does not guarantee shortlisting or a seat. Your final admission depends on your SET score relative to the institute's cutoff for your category, your PI performance, and the combined merit ranking that follows from both. The Class 12 percentage also matters separately for the institute's own admissions check at document verification.
SET 2026 Cutoff — Institute-wise and Category-wise
Each Symbiosis institute publishes its own cutoff after the result — there is no single SET 2026 cutoff that applies everywhere. The cutoff is the minimum SET score (out of 60) needed to be shortlisted for the PI round at a specific institute and programme. Official 2026 cutoffs are released by each campus separately through its own admission portal, typically after the shortlisting process closes. The table below shows expected ranges based on recent year trends.
SET 2026 Expected Cutoffs for Symbiosis Campuses
The expected SET 2026 cutoffs for BBA (Honours) and BCA programmes vary by campus. These ranges are based on prior year trends and are not official.
| Institute | Programme | General (Expected) | SC (Expected) | ST (Expected) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SCMS Pune | BBA (Honours) | 44–48 | 28–35 | 25–32 |
| SCMS Noida | BBA (Honours) | 40–48 | 27–35 | 25–30 |
| SCMS Bengaluru | BBA (Honours) | 35–45 | 25–33 | 22–28 |
| SCMS Hyderabad | BBA (Honours) | 29–42 | 24–30 | 22–28 |
| SCMS Nagpur | BBA (Honours) | 30–42 | 24–30 | 22–28 |
| SICSR Pune | BBA (IT) | 40–46 | 26–34 | 22–28 |
| SICSR Pune | BCA | 29–33 | 20–27 | 18–25 |
The official 2026 cutoffs from each Symbiosis campus should be checked directly through the respective institute’s admission portal. For waitlisted students, the effective cutoff can shift lower as seats free up through the ongoing admission rounds in July 2026. Waitlisted students who score close to the expected cutoff range still have a realistic chance of a seat at several campuses.
SET 2026 Personal Interaction (PI) Round
Clearing the SET score cutoff gets a candidate shortlisted, but the seat is decided by the PI round. Every shortlisted candidate has to attend a Personal Interaction (PI) session at the Symbiosis institute they applied to.
This is not a conventional interview; it covers academic background, general awareness, communication skills, and the reason for choosing Symbiosis. The PI is worth 30 marks, with the SET score scaled to 70 marks, so the final ranking is out of 100.
| PI Round Details | Information |
|---|---|
| PI Round — Dual Degree Programmes | June 7–9, 2026 (Completed) |
| PI Round — Regular BBA (Honours) Programmes | June 11–21, 2026 (Completed) |
| PI Score Weightage | 30 marks |
| SET Score Weightage in Merit | Scaled to 70 marks |
| Final Merit Score | 100 marks (SET 70 + PI 30) |
| Mode | In-person at the respective Symbiosis institute campus |
Both PI rounds — for Dual Degree and Regular BBA programmes — concluded in June. The final merit list, published June 25, 2026, reflects these combined scores. A candidate who scored 50 out of 60 in SET but had a weak PI can rank lower than someone who scored 44 but excelled in the interaction. The SET score alone does not tell the full story of the admission outcome.
SET 2026 Merit List and What to Do After Result
The final SET 2026 merit list came out on June 25, 2026. The position on it depends on the combined score — SET marks scaled to 70, plus PI marks out of 30, totalling 100.
Symbiosis institutes offer seats in order of merit rank, with higher-ranked candidates getting priority for their preferred campus and programme. As of July 2026, institutes are completing their admission rounds.
If a seat has been offered
- Pay the initial admission fee before the institute’s deadline — missing it means the offered seat is forfeited
- Submit required documents: Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets, category certificate (if applicable), migration certificate, and passport-size photographs
- Keep the SET 2026 scorecard ready — it must be submitted as part of admission documents
- Check the institute’s portal for any additional steps or follow-up fee payment schedules
If on a waitlist
- Waitlist movement happens as students who received offers decline them or take up seats at other institutes
- Check the institute’s admission portal regularly — waitlist updates are typically posted after each round closes
- Movement is expected through July 2026 as institutes finalise their admissions
- If a waitlist offer is received, act quickly — confirmation windows are usually short
If not shortlisted or the result was not in favour
- The SET 2026 score is valid only for the 2026-27 academic year — it cannot be carried forward to next year’s admissions
- To reapply, watch for SET 2027 registration dates on set-test.org, which usually open around January-February of the following year
