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.
