SIIB Pune MBA Admission 2027: Fees, Cutoff & Placements

SIIB, the Symbiosis Institute of International Business, began in 1992 with its MBA in International Business, added Agri Business in 2004 and Energy and Environment in 2009, renamed Sustainability Management in 2025. It is a constituent of Symbiosis International (Deemed University), which holds a NAAC A++ grade, and its International Business MBA is accredited by the National Board of Accreditation. The campus sits in Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park, Hinjawadi.

All three are two-year, full-time and residential. International Business students add a functional specialisation; two lists are published, Marketing, Finance, Supply Chain Management or Business Analytics, and Marketing, Finance, Supply Chain Management or Human Resource Management. Agri Business covers subjects such as agri input marketing, commodity markets, agri retail, agricultural finance and digital agriculture. Sustainability Management covers climate change and carbon markets, corporate sustainability and ESG reporting, renewable energy and sustainable supply chains. Students in all three spend eight weeks on a summer internship.

All three programmes 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 admit on SNAP 2026. Final-year students may apply, subject to that minimum in the final result; no work experience is required.

Because the international and Kashmiri seats sit above the intake, they do not reduce the 150, 60 and 30 domestic seats. International students apply through the Symbiosis Centre for International Education, and an International Business applicant with a foreign degree needs an AIU equivalence certificate. The Agri Business programme is open to graduates of any discipline on the same 50% rule, so an agriculture degree is not required. Two intake figures are published for International Business: 150 and, for 2026-27, 120.

SIIB’s registration closes later than SNAP’s, on 18 December 2026, but a candidate who misses it never reaches the shortlist. SIIB marks every date tentative.

The first instalment is due at admission, so the eighteen days between the merit list and the payment deadline are the window to arrange a loan. Bank of Maharashtra, SBI, Axis Bank, Bank of India and Bank of Baroda have education-loan arrangements for SIIB students.

SIIB admits only through SNAP. Applying takes two payments through the SNAP website: ₹2,550 for each SNAP attempt and ₹1,000 for each SIIB programme, both plus taxes. Paying only for SNAP does not put a candidate on any SIIB 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 programme charges its academic fee in four equal instalments, with a refundable ₹20,000 institute deposit on the first; the three differ only in the academic fee. The 2027-29 schedule had not been published as of October 2026.

Two figures are published for the Agri Business instalment: ₹3,24,500 and ₹3,24,000 (₹6,48,000 a year). Instalments fall due at admission, on 25 November 2026, 25 June 2027 and 25 November 2027, and the fee grid applies to General, SC, ST, PwD and Kashmiri migrant candidates alike. Hostel and mess are billed separately, below. Scholarships include Symbiosis merit awards for the top four students in each batch every semester, five merit scholarships for IIT graduates, and the government schemes on the National Scholarship Portal.

Shared hostel accommodation on campus is compulsory for the whole programme, and only year one’s charges are published; year two’s are announced before that year and can rise by up to 15%, plus any tax.

The buildings draw 70% of their energy from solar power. The campus has Wi-Fi throughout, an air-conditioned auditorium for more than 300 people, a mess and an all-day cafeteria, a swimming pool with a free trainer, a sports arena, and a health centre run by the Symbiosis Centre for Health Care; every student is covered by mediclaim and road-accident insurance. Ramps, accessible lifts, wheelchair service and accessible toilets are provided.

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.

SIIB reports placements programme by programme. For the 2024-26 batch, International Business recorded a median of ₹14.40 LPA, an average of ₹15.64 LPA and a highest of ₹27.60 LPA.

The highest Agri Business offer abroad was US$27,440. The batch-size, offers and recruiter counts are not published with these figures. For the earlier Energy and Environment batch of 2022-24, the median was ₹11.23 LPA, the average ₹11.81 LPA and the highest ₹15.95 LPA. Summer internship stipends for the 2023-25 batch had medians of ₹22,000 for International Business and ₹33,000 for both Agri Business and Energy and Environment. The International Business batch recruiting in 2026-27 has 152 students, 46% of them women, and half joined as freshers.

Compare SIIB on the decision that binds you: the sector you want to work in, the exam you are sitting and the fee you can carry.

• Same exam, general management: SIBM Pune admits on the same SNAP score with the same 50-10-40 merit split, and NIRF Management 2025 ranked it 11th; its MBA’s first year costs ₹16,26,900 with hostel and mess on the 2026-28 schedule.
• International trade on another exam: IIFT Delhi is the specialist alternative for international business, admitting on CAT rather than SNAP.
• Different exam: the IIMs and MDI Gurgaon admit on CAT; SNAP is a separate December test with up to three attempts.
• Lower fee in Maharashtra: JBIMS Mumbai admits on MAH MBA-CET at a fraction of SIIB’s International Business fee, through state counselling.
• Within SIIB, International Business costs ₹7,64,000 to ₹7,70,000 more than the other two programmes across the four academic instalments, while hostel, mess and deposits are the same. For all options, see our MBA admission guide.
