The questions on Idioms and Phrases were easy. However, an aspirant might have faced some difficulty in answering Fill in the blanks based questions. Next in order of weightage was grammar – there were 4 questions on identifying the correct sentence and 6 questions on grammar-based Fill in the blanks – in which the aspirant was asked to Fill the blank using appropriate conjunction/gerund/infinitive.

Apart from these, there were questions on Economics, Books and Author, Classical Dance forms and their proponents, Important Days, Geography, Vitamin-Deficiency, and Sports.

Cut Off:

It is very difficult to predict exact cut-off for each college as the number of applicants is yet not disclosed. But, on the basis of cut-offs given in last two years and comparing the level of difficulty of the exam with that of last year, we can predict the following cut-offs.

Course	Symbiosis Campus	Predicted Cut-offs (General Category)
SCMS (BBA)	Pune	91
SCMS (BBA)	Noida	87
SIMC (BMS)	Pune	85
SSE (BSc Economics)	Pune	89
SSLA (BA/BSc)	Pune	83
SICSR (BCA / BBA IT)	Pune	81

Wishing all the aspirants great luck for results and for the next stage of admission!

  Hi Raj,
  SCMS Pune has already declared the results. Cut-offs for BBA are above 97 marks for General Category to qualify for PI-WAT.
