The short answer
As of 31 August 2026, SCMHRD Pune's MBA route for the 2027-29 batch is SNAP 2026 (registration closes 25 November; tests 13, 19 and 26 December) plus a separate SCMHRD registration by 12 December 2026, then GE-PI in January-February 2027. The published 2026-28 fee is Rs 8,57,800 for year one and Rs 7,05,300 for year two. Symbiosis charges no capitation fee and debars agent-route applicants.

Is there a management quota here?
There is no management quota at SCMHRD. Symbiosis International (Deemed University) states that admission to all its programmes is strictly on merit, that it has appointed no individual, agency or organisation to assure admission, that it does not charge capitation fee, and that an aspirant approaching through such agents will be permanently debarred from all its programmes. The only route is SNAP plus the institute's GE-PI.
SCMHRD is the Symbiosis school HR aspirants know best, and its official page answers the two questions families actually ask — what it costs and how you get in — to the rupee and to the day. For the 2027-29 batch the route is SNAP 2026 plus a separate SCMHRD registration, then GE-PI; the published fee for the current 2026-28 batch is Rs 8,57,800 in year one and Rs 7,05,300 in year two.
What should an applicant plan for?
Two payments, two deadlines. SNAP 2026 registration and payment close on 25 November 2026 (Rs 2,550 per attempt; tests on 13, 19 and 26 December; the best score counts; results 12 January 2027). Separately, SCMHRD’s programme registration — Rs 1,000 per programme — closes on 12 December 2026. Miss the second and the SNAP score alone will not shortlist you. Shortlists land 21 January 2027, GE-PI slots book 21-24 January, the first merit list is 2 March 2027 with fees due 16 March, and the programme commences 3 June 2027.
Where does SCMHRD fit in a Pune shortlist?
Behind SIBM Pune on most SNAP preference lists and ahead of everything else in the Symbiosis family for HR, with the same university-wide shield against the quota market: Symbiosis publishes that it charges no capitation fee, has appointed no agent, and permanently debars aspirants who approach through one. Our Pune guide and the SNAP 2026 page map the full route.
How Udaan helps with SCMHRD
We keep the two registration tracks straight so a missed Rs 1,000 programme payment does not sink a good SNAP score, prepare you for the Group Exercise and Personal Interaction, and benchmark SCMHRD against the rest of your SNAP list before you lock preferences.

Questions, answered
- What is the SCMHRD MBA fee?
- For the 2026-28 batch, per the official fee structure: Rs 8,57,800 in year one — academic fee Rs 6,45,500, refundable institute and hostel deposits of Rs 20,000 each, three-sharing hostel Rs 1,12,500 and mess Rs 59,800 — and Rs 7,05,300 in year two, with the second-year hostel fee communicated before that academic year. Hostel and mess can rise up to 15% a year.
- How do I get into SCMHRD Pune in 2027?
- Two registrations: SNAP 2026 on snaptest.org by 25 November 2026 (Rs 2,550 per attempt, up to three tests on 13, 19 and 26 December, best score counts), and SCMHRD programme selection at Rs 1,000 per programme by 12 December 2026. Shortlists come on 21 January 2027, GE-PI follows in January-February, and the first merit list is 2 March 2027.
- Is there a management quota at SCMHRD?
- No. Symbiosis states in writing that admission is strictly merit-based, that it has appointed no one to assure admission, that it charges no capitation fee, and that aspirants who approach through agents are permanently debarred from all its programmes. SNAP plus GE-PI is the only route.
- Is paying for SNAP enough to be considered by SCMHRD?
- No. The official process requires both the SNAP test registration and a separate programme registration of Rs 1,000 per SCMHRD programme by 12 December 2026. Paying only for the test leaves you ineligible for the institute's shortlist — the same two-step rule the SNAP guide warns about.
- Which specialisations does SCMHRD's MBA offer?
- Marketing, Human Resource Management, Finance, Operations, and Strategy, Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the flagship MBA, with MBA (Infrastructure Development and Management) and MBA (Business Analytics) as separate programmes under the same admission cycle.
