Is there a management quota here?

No management quota exists at SIIB. It sits inside Symbiosis International (Deemed University), whose standing caution notice prints that every programme is admitted strictly on merit through SIU's own tests (SNAP for postgraduate programmes), that the university charges no capitation fee, and that candidates approaching agents can be permanently debarred. The SIIB admission calendar carries one merit-list process and no paid-seat layer. International students are a printed 25% over-and-above intake, not a management-quota row.

SIIB is the international-business door of the Symbiosis system in Hinjawadi: SNAP-only, with three printed MBAs and a 2027 calendar that closes the institute’s own form on 18 December 2026 — weeks before most sister campuses. Every date and rupee below is from siib.ac.in, opened today. (The older siib.edu.in hostname does not resolve.)

What should an applicant plan for?

Two registrations, one exam, and an unusually early second deadline. SNAP first (closes 25 November 2026), then SIIB’s own form before the SNAP result (closes 18 December 2026 at 23:59). Miss the second and the SNAP score never reaches this campus. After that the process is Symbiosis-standard: a 22 January shortlist, GE-PI in two February weekends, merit list 15 March 2027. The fee trap is arithmetic: each table prints the academic fee in every instalment column, the same pattern that mispriced SIBM Pune.

Where does SIIB sit in a Pune shortlist?

In the middle of the SNAP specialist band — above SICSR on both fee and brand, below SIBM Pune and SCMHRD on selectivity. The Agri Business (Rs 3,24,500 per instalment) and Sustainability (Rs 3,23,000) programmes print at roughly the SICSR price; the flagship International Business programme prints at Rs 5,15,500 per instalment. Against Pune’s wider field in our city guide, it is a specialist degree, not a general MBA. Our specialist comparison puts the four printed bills in one table.

How Udaan helps with SIIB applicants

We time the two registrations so the 18 December SIIB payment is not lost in the SNAP-result wait, match IB vs Agri vs Sustainability to the career plan, and prepare GE-PI around Symbiosis’s exercise-plus-interview format. The honest-counselor point is the same as the rest of the system: SIU runs one merit machine — our direct-admission page maps what does and does not exist.

Good to know

Questions, answered

What is the SIIB Pune MBA (International Business) fee?
Rs 5,15,500 per instalment — Rs 10,31,000 a year and about Rs 20,62,000 in academic fees across the 2026-28 batch, per the official IB fee page opened 20 September 2026. The first instalment at admission is Rs 5,35,500 because it includes a Rs 20,000 refundable institute deposit. Hostel (three-sharing Rs 1,12,500) and mess (Rs 59,800 per instalment in year one) are additional.
When does SIIB's own form close?
18 December 2026 at 23:59 hrs, per the official admission calendar — before the SNAP result on 12 January 2027. That is earlier than SICSR (16 January 2027) and SSBF (17 January 2027). Miss the SIIB payment and a SNAP score does not reach this campus.
Does SIIB accept CAT or only SNAP?
Only SNAP. The printed admission calendar, how-to-apply page and SIU caution notice all run on SNAP 2026 plus SIIB's own registration — no CAT, XAT, NMAT, CMAT or MAT route appears in the process.
How many seats does SIIB have?
The official intake page prints 150 for MBA (International Business), 60 for MBA (Agri Business) and 30 for MBA (Sustainability Management), plus 2 Kashmiri-migrant seats and a 25% international-student layer over-and-above each programme's total intake.
Is there a management quota at SIIB Pune?
No. SIU's caution notice prints that admissions are strictly on merit, that no capitation fee is charged, and that no agent is authorised — approaching one can mean permanent debarring across all SIU programmes. The NRI/international track is a printed over-and-above intake, not a paid-seat layer.
Is the SIIB fee per annum or per instalment?
Read the instalment row. The official tables print Rs 5,15,500 (IB), Rs 3,24,500 (Agri) and Rs 3,23,000 (Sustainability) in each of four instalment columns — so those figures are per semester, twice a year. We flag this because it is the same print pattern that mispriced SIBM Pune for weeks.
