SCMHRD Pune Admission 2027: Cutoff, Fees & Placements

SCMHRD was established in 1993 as a constituent of what is now Symbiosis International (Deemed University), and sits on the Symbiosis Infotech Campus in Hinjawadi, Pune. It holds AACSB accreditation and was re-accredited in January 2025. Its full-time MBAs are two-year and residential and admit on SNAP; the MBA (Executive) runs on weekends for working professionals.

The core MBA specialises in human resources, marketing, finance or operations. Infrastructure Development and Management graduates of 2024-26 took roles such as supply chain consultant, project manager and logistics management trainee, and Business Analytics graduates roles such as data analyst, business analyst and technology consulting analyst. The Executive MBA meets on weekends for eight hours a day. SCMHRD is a member of CII, NHRD and SHRM.

The three full-time MBAs need a bachelor’s degree from a recognised university or Institution of National Importance with 50% marks, or 45% for SC and ST candidates, and a SNAP 2026 score; the SC/ST concession does not apply to international candidates.

International admissions are handled directly by the Symbiosis international students’ cell. The MBA (Executive) needs the same 50% degree and at least one year of full-time work after graduation in a registered firm, company, industry, educational, government or autonomous organisation; candidates take a personal interaction over Google Meet with document checks, and results follow within days.

All three full-time MBAs share one calendar for the 2027-29 batch, but each holds its Group Exercise and Personal Interaction on different days.

The first instalment is due at admission, so a candidate on the first merit list has fourteen days to pay. The MBA (Executive) admits on a rolling basis instead: its 2026-28 registration ran from 27 November 2025 to 26 July 2026, and that batch started on 27 June 2026.

SCMHRD’s full-time MBAs admit only through SNAP. Applying takes two payments through the SNAP website: ₹2,550 for each SNAP attempt and ₹1,000 for each SCMHRD programme, both plus taxes. Paying only for SNAP does not put a candidate on any SCMHRD shortlist. A candidate may sit up to three SNAP tests, and the higher score counts.

Each wrong answer costs a quarter of a mark. Shortlisting runs on the overall SNAP percentile, with a separate cut-off for each programme, and a candidate must attend every part of the Group Exercise and Personal Interaction (GE-PI) to stay eligible. No shortlisting percentile is published in advance; category-wise merit-list and wait-list cut-offs appear on the institute’s website after selection. The merit list is out of 100:

Each full-time MBA charges its academic fee in four equal instalments and bills three-sharing hostel and mess in the same schedule; only the academic fee differs between them. The 2027-29 schedule had not been published as of October 2026.

The third and fourth instalments, due on 25 June and 25 November 2027, carry the academic fee plus year-two hostel and mess, which are announced before that year and can rise by up to 15%. Across the four instalments the academic fee comes to ₹25,82,000 for the MBA, ₹15,56,000 for IDM and ₹19,48,000 for BA. The MBA (Executive) 2026-28 fee is ₹6,63,100: a ₹40,000 first instalment with a ₹10,000 refundable deposit at admission, then four instalments of ₹1,53,275 from 30 June 2026.

SCMHRD shares the Symbiosis Infotech Campus in Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park, Hinjawadi, a five-acre campus with separate hostels for men and women, staff quarters, an auditorium, an indoor swimming pool and a health centre. Only three-sharing hostel is priced, and students eat in the mess.

Meals must be taken in the dining hall, and the mess needs a day’s notice when a student will be away. Buying from the cafeteria or stores on credit is not allowed. The 2025-27 batch paid ₹1,02,300 for three-sharing hostel and ₹52,000 per mess instalment in year one, against ₹1,12,500 and ₹59,800 for 2026-28.

Cancel by 30 September and all academic fees and deposits come back; from 1 November only the deposits do. These rules, reissued in February 2026, apply to every Symbiosis International University institute until UGC revises its policy.

• Hostel and mess are refunded after deducting the period used up to the cancellation date or 31 October, whichever is earlier; from 1 November nothing is refunded for hostel or mess.
• Where an admission schedule runs past 31 October, the UGC slabs apply instead: 100% (less up to 5%, capped at ₹5,000) if notice comes 15 days or more before the last date of admission, then 90% inside the last 15 days before it, 80% up to 15 days after, 50% up to 30 days after, and nothing later.
• The insurance premium and registration or administrative fees are never refunded; refunds are paid within 15 days of the written application.
• No Symbiosis institute may keep original certificates; self-attested copies must be accepted.

The MBA batch of 2024-26, across HR, marketing and finance, recorded a median CTC of ₹20.00 lakh, an average of ₹21.90 lakh and a highest of ₹38.00 lakh, with half of all offers at ₹20 lakh or more and 114 or more recruiters, 64 of them new.

BFSI took 38.7% of MBA offers, engineering and manufacturing 13.9% and consulting 10.3%; in Business Analytics, IT took 35.2% and consulting 31.8%. The previous batch, 2023-25, recorded an MBA median of ₹20.00 lakh and average of ₹21.47 lakh, a Business Analytics median of ₹20.00 lakh and average of ₹20.25 lakh, and an IDM median of ₹13.60 lakh and average of ₹14.17 lakh.

SCMHRD’s fee and median sit close to the other Symbiosis Pune MBAs; the choice usually turns on the function you want.

• General management on the same exam: SIBM Pune charges ₹6,55,000 per academic instalment against SCMHRD’s ₹6,45,500 and recorded a ₹27.00 lakh median for 2024-26; NIRF Management 2025 ranked it 11th.
• International business, also in Hinjawadi: SIIB Pune admits on SNAP; its International Business median for 2024-26 was ₹14.40 lakh.
• Specialist HR on another exam: XLRI Jamshedpur runs a PGDM in Human Resource Management on XAT.
• Different exam: the IIMs and MDI Gurgaon admit on CAT; SNAP is a separate December test with up to three attempts.
• Within SCMHRD, the Business Analytics MBA recorded a slightly higher median than the core MBA in 2024-26, ₹20.60 lakh against ₹20.00 lakh, for ₹6,34,000 less in academic fees across the four instalments. For all options, see our MBA admission guide.
