Symbiosis Institute of Health Sciences (SIHS), Pune
Last updated 22 September 2026 · Reviewed by Piyush Agarwal · Latest change: Initial profile from the institute's official programme and admission pages opened today: 120-seat intake, the full 2027-29 calendar with the 25 December 2026 institute deadline (before the SNAP result), the SNAP + Academic Profile Score shortlist formula, the 2026-28 instalment table with arithmetic (Rs 3,14,500 per semester, proved by the payable rows), the printed placement block, the distance-degree exclusion in the FAQ, and no discretionary-quota line on the pages opened.
The short answer
As of 22 September 2026, SIHS Pune admits 120 students to its residential MBA (Hospital and Healthcare Management) through SNAP 2026, with the institute's own registration closing 25 December 2026 — before the SNAP result. The 2026-28 academic fee prints Rs 3,14,500 per instalment, Rs 12,58,000 across the batch, and the programme page prints placement figures to a Rs 19 LPA high.

The table prints 'Academic Fees (Per Annum) 3,14,500' in each of the four instalment columns; the payable rows prove the per-semester reading: first instalment Rs 5,83,200 at admission (academic + Rs 20,000 institute deposit + Rs 20,000 hostel deposit + hostel Rs 1,68,900 + mess Rs 59,800), second instalment Rs 3,74,300 by 25 November 2026 | 2026-28 (the same page carries batch 2025-27 at Rs 2,99,250 per instalment) | SIHS official MBA (HHM) programme page, 2026-2028 instalment table (opened 22 September 2026) ↗ checked 22 Sept 2026 |

Is there a management quota here?
SIHS prints no Discretionary Quota Seats line on the programme or admission pages we opened today — unlike sister campuses SIMC, SIBM Bengaluru, SIBM Hyderabad, SIDTM, SIOM and SSSS, whose fee documents carry the 2x rule in writing. The SIU-wide position governs here: admissions are strictly on merit through SNAP and the institute's own GE-PI, no donation or capitation is charged for any admission, the university has authorised no agent, and approaching one can mean permanent debarment from every Symbiosis programme. Anyone selling a 'management seat' at SIHS is describing a route the institute does not print.
SIHS is the Symbiosis system’s healthcare-management campus at Lavale — SNAP-only, residential, 120 seats for the MBA (Hospital and Healthcare Management) — and one of the institute-level deadlines that arrive before the SNAP result: its own registration closes 25 December 2026. Every figure below is from sihs.edu.in, opened 22 September 2026.
What should an applicant plan for?
Two registrations on a split clock. SNAP 2026 closes 25 November 2026 with tests on 13/19/26 December and the result on 12 January 2027. SIHS’s own registration and payment close 25 December 2026 — candidates who wait for the result to decide will have missed SIHS entirely. The shortlist prints 15 January 2027, GE-PI runs 11-13 February, the first merit list lands 20 February, fees follow by 8 March, and the programme commences 1 June 2027.
Who is eligible — including the printed exclusion
The bar is a regular graduate degree with 50% marks (45% for SC/ST) from a recognized University or Institution of National Importance; final-year candidates may apply subject to securing the bar. The institute’s own FAQ adds an exclusion worth reading before you pay anyone: part-time, correspondence, external, distance-learning and one-sitting degrees are not eligible. Selection then weighs your SNAP score against an Academic Profile Score computed from Class 10, Class 12 and graduation performance, with work experience and extracurriculars as printed parameters.
The fee, read with the instalment rule
The 2026-28 table prints “Academic Fees (Per Annum) 3,14,500” under each of the four instalment columns — the Symbiosis label trap again. The payable rows settle it: instalment one is Rs 5,83,200 (academic 3,14,500 + deposits 40,000 + hostel 1,68,900 + mess 59,800) and instalment two Rs 3,74,300, so the academic fee is Rs 3,14,500 per semester, Rs 6,29,000 a year, Rs 12,58,000 across the batch — the second-cheapest printed bill in the Pune SNAP family after SICSR, per the Symbiosis fee ladder.
Placements and the quota answer
The programme page prints a compact placement block: 45+ recruiters, 106+ offers, 100% placements, a Rs 19 LPA high, Rs 9 LPA average, Rs 7.95 LPA median. It carries no batch-year label, so we present it as the institute’s current published summary rather than an audited report. On quotas: SIHS prints no Discretionary Quota line on the pages we opened — it sits on SIU’s merit-only caution notice, unlike the six sister campuses mapped in our discretionary-quota map.
How Udaan helps with SIHS applicants
We diarise the 25 December institute payment before the SNAP result distorts judgement, check your degree mode against the printed exclusion before you spend on the application, and read the Rs 19 LPA placement claim with the methodology our placement-report guide teaches. Anyone offering an SIHS seat outside SNAP is contradicting the university’s printed caution notice.

Questions, answered
- What is the SIHS Pune MBA (HHM) fee?
- Rs 3,14,500 per instalment for the 2026-28 batch — Rs 6,29,000 a year, Rs 12,58,000 across the two years — per the official programme-page table opened 22 September 2026. The payable rows (Rs 5,83,200 at admission, Rs 3,74,300 by 25 November 2026) prove the per-semester reading of the 'Per Annum' label. Hostel Rs 1,68,900 and mess Rs 59,800 a year sit on top. The same page carries the 2025-27 batch at Rs 2,99,250 per instalment.
- When does SIHS's own form close?
- 25 December 2026 — weeks before the SNAP result on 12 January 2027. Miss the institute payment and a SNAP score does nothing for SIHS. The shortlist follows on 15 January 2027, GE-PI runs 11-13 February, the first merit list lands 20 February, fees are due by 8 March, and the programme starts 1 June 2027.
- Is SIHS MBA only through SNAP?
- Yes. The printed process runs on SNAP 2026 plus SIHS's own registration and payment; no other entrance test appears. Shortlisting weighs the SNAP score together with an Academic Profile Score computed from Class 10, Class 12 and graduation performance, with work experience and extracurriculars as additional parameters.
- Can a distance or correspondence graduate apply to SIHS?
- No — the institute's own FAQ states that candidates passing the degree examination by part-time, correspondence, external course, distance learning or in one sitting are not eligible. The bar is a regular graduate degree with 50% marks (45% for SC/ST) from a recognized University or Institution of National Importance.
- What are SIHS's placements?
- The programme page prints 45+ recruiters, 106+ offers, a 100% placements percentage, a Rs 19 LPA highest package, Rs 9 LPA average and Rs 7.95 LPA median. The block carries no batch-year label on the page, so we present it as the institute's current published summary rather than an audited report — the same reading discipline our placement-report guide teaches.
- Does SIHS have a management quota?
- No quota line prints on the SIHS programme or admission pages we opened today. SIU's caution notice governs: merit-only admission through SNAP and the institute's GE-PI, no donation or capitation, no authorised agents, permanent debarment for agent-mediated approaches. Five sister campuses print a 2x Discretionary Quota rule — SIHS is not one of them in the documents we could open.
