Test Structure Insights
The SET 2026 exam will evaluate candidates across several key areas: General English, Quantitative Aptitude, General Awareness, and Analytical & Logical Reasoning. On the other hand, SITEEE 2026 will concentrate on core competencies in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Each test will consist of 60 objective-type questions spread across three to four sections. A significant advantage is the absence of negative marking, allowing candidates to confidently attempt all questions. This approach supports a fair and assessment-driven process, encouraging students to showcase their abilities without the fear of penalty for incorrect answers. The structured format enables candidates to prepare efficiently for each section of the exam.
Programs Offered
Both SET and SITEEE are Computer-Based Tests (CBT) managed by Symbiosis International (Deemed University). These tests serve as the gateway to a wide array of undergraduate programs. These include but are not limited to BBA, BCA, BA, B.Sc., and B.Tech, offered across various Symbiosis institutes. Candidates are provided the flexibility to take up to two test attempts. The higher score will be considered for percentile calculation, which maximizes the opportunities for each candidate to achieve their best possible results. This approach ensures fairness and helps students showcase their true potential.
SET: Gateway to Institutes
SET 2026 is the key to entering 13 prestigious Symbiosis undergraduate institutes. These institutes provide diverse academic disciplines such as Management, Mass Communication, Artificial Intelligence, Economics, Applied Statistics & Data Science, Information Technology, Sport & Exercise Science, Computer Applications, and Liberal Arts, among others. These programs are accessible at campuses located in Pune, Noida, Nagpur, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad. This geographical distribution expands the opportunities for students across India, providing them access to a wide variety of academic disciplines and career pathways.
Eligibility for SET
To be eligible for SET 2026, applicants must have passed Standard XII (10+2) or an equivalent examination from a recognized board. A minimum score of 50% or its equivalent grade is required, with a slightly relaxed requirement of 45% for SC/ST candidates. For those pursuing Honours with Research, a minimum CGPA of 7.5 at the end of Semester 6 is required.

Candidates are advised to carefully review the specific eligibility criteria for each program to ensure they meet the requirements before applying.
SITEEE Eligibility Criteria
Candidates aspiring for SITEEE 2026 must have successfully completed their 10+2 examination. They should have taken Physics and Mathematics as compulsory subjects, alongside one subject from Chemistry, Computer Science, Electronics, Information Technology, Biology, Informatics Practices, Biotechnology, Technical Vocational subjects, Agriculture, Engineering Graphics, Business Studies, or Entrepreneurship. A minimum aggregate score of 45% is required (40% for SC/ST candidates). Those with a D.Voc. qualification in the same or related field are also eligible. To provide support to students from diverse academic backgrounds, the university is offering bridge courses in subjects like Mathematics, Physics, and Engineering Drawing. These courses will help bridge any gaps in foundational knowledge.
SITEEE's Engineering Focus
SITEEE 2026 is particularly designed for engineering aspirants aiming for specialized B.Tech programs. These programs are offered at Symbiosis Institute of Technology campuses in Pune, Nagpur, and Hyderabad. The focus areas cover future-oriented domains like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics and Automation, and Robotics and Artificial Intelligence.
