SCMHRD Pune Average Package 2026 — MBA Salary, Highest Package & Recruiters

SCMHRD — the Symbiosis Centre for Management and Human Resource Development — reports one of the strongest MBA placement records in Pune, with an average package in the region of ₹21–22 LPA and a highest reported offer near ₹38 LPA. It is NAAC A++ accredited, was established in 1993, and holds a national NIRF management rank in the mid-teens, which places it in the tier immediately below the IIMs and alongside the strongest private business schools in India. The institute is best known for its HR programme, which is where its reputation was built, but its Operations, Finance and Marketing specialisations also place strongly. Specialisation matters more to your own outcome than the institute-wide average does: HR and Operations at SCMHRD recruit from a different employer set than Finance, and the salary distributions differ accordingly. Ask for the specialisation-level number rather than the composite. Admission is through SNAP, the Symbiosis national aptitude test, followed by a group exercise and personal interaction round. SNAP percentile requirements for SCMHRD have trended upward year on year and sit in the high-97s to 98 range in recent cycles — indicative only, since the actual cut varies with applicant volume and seat count. Total fees sit in the ₹14.5–26 lakh band depending on programme and year, so the placement figure should always be read against that cost.

⚡ Quick Answer

SCMHRD Pune reports an indicative average package of around ₹21–22 LPA with a highest offer near ₹38 LPA, placing it among the strongest non-IIM business schools in India. Admission is via SNAP; total fees sit in the ₹14.5–26 lakh band.

The Numbers in Context

MeasureIndicative position

Total fees₹14.5–26 lakh depending on programme

At this fee level the placement average is the whole investment case, so read it carefully. An average of ₹21 LPA against a ₹20 lakh programme cost is a roughly one-year payback on gross salary — strong, but it assumes you are near the middle of the batch rather than the bottom of it.

Specialisation Drives the Outcome

  • •Human Resources is SCMHRD's founding and best-known programme, with a distinctive and deep recruiter list built over three decades.
  • •Operations and Supply Chain recruits from manufacturing, logistics and consulting, and has grown considerably in weight.
  • •Finance competes directly with larger finance-focused schools and its placements track the state of the banking and financial services hiring cycle.
  • •Marketing and Business Analytics place into FMCG, technology and consulting roles.
  • •The composite average blends all of these — request the specialisation-level split from the admissions office before choosing.

These are indicative closing percentiles carried on CollegePune and are useful for gauging the trend, not for planning to the decimal. The genuine cut moves with applicant numbers, seat matrix and category, and is only settled once Symbiosis publishes its round-wise results. Treat anything above the trend line as a safe target and confirm against the official SNAP admission portal.
