secretariat declares exam scores and puts up a list of candidates who are eligible for
the next stage of selection. The scores are declared as absolute marks out of total
marks for the overall as well as for each section. Different institutes of Symbiosis
then shortlist candidates for further rounds on different criteria. Some colleges, such
as SIBM, SIIB, etc., follow a cut-off based selection system where they consider
overall cut-off and/or sectional cut offs to shortlist students. Others such as SCMHRD,
along with SNAP score also consider overall profile of the candidates for short
