SITEEE Exam Date 2026 — Symbiosis Institute of Technology Test Schedule & Registration

SITEEE is the Symbiosis Institute of Technology Engineering Entrance Examination, the only route into the B.Tech programmes at SIT on the Lavale campus. SIT does not admit through Maharashtra CAP counselling, so an MHT-CET percentile — however strong — does not get you a seat there. If SIT is on your list, SITEEE has to be on your calendar as a separate exam with its own registration. The cycle follows a consistent annual shape. Registration opens on the Symbiosis admissions portal over the winter, the test is conducted in a computer-based window in the spring, results and institute shortlists follow, and shortlisted candidates attend a personal interaction round before the merit list is finalised. Because the exact dates are set fresh each year and are occasionally revised mid-cycle, the only reliable place to read them is the official portal. One practical point worth planning around: SITEEE runs on a completely different calendar from MHT-CET CAP, and the two processes overlap. Candidates who are pursuing both need to track two sets of deadlines simultaneously, and the SITEEE seat acceptance window can fall before CAP allotments are known. Decide in advance what you will do if an SIT offer lands while your CAP result is still pending — that decision is much harder to make under deadline pressure.

⚡ Quick Answer

SITEEE is SIT Pune's own engineering entrance — an MHT-CET percentile will not admit you there. Registration opens on the Symbiosis portal over the winter with the computer-based test in the spring window; confirm the exact 2026 and 2027 dates on the official portal, which is the only authoritative source.

These are period descriptions, not dates. Symbiosis publishes the exact calendar for each cycle on its admissions portal and has revised dates mid-cycle before, so check there and check again close to each deadline.

What the Test Covers

  • •Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics at Class 11 and 12 level, in line with the engineering entrance standard.
  • •A computer-based format at designated test centres.
  • •Objective questions under timed conditions — confirm the current section weighting and marking scheme on the official portal, as pattern details are revised periodically.
  • •Preparation overlaps heavily with JEE Main and MHT-CET, so a candidate preparing for those is already most of the way there.

Running SITEEE Alongside CAP

  1. 1.Track both calendars in one place — SITEEE and MHT-CET CAP publish independently and their deadlines interleave.
  2. 2.Register for SITEEE even if CAP is your primary route; the registration cost is small relative to losing the option.
  3. 3.Work out in advance what you will do if an SIT offer requires acceptance before your CAP allotment is known.
  4. 4.Compare the full four-year cost, not just tuition — SIT is a deemed-university institute with a residential campus, so it sits well above CAP-college fees.
  5. 5.If your MHT-CET percentile is strong enough for COEP, PICT or VIT Pune, weigh that carefully before paying to hold an SIT seat.

Why SIT Sits Outside CAP

SIT is a constituent institute of Symbiosis International (Deemed University). Deemed universities admit through their own processes rather than through state counselling, which is why SITEEE exists at all and why SIT fees are not covered by the Maharashtra Fee Regulating Authority framework. This is a structural difference, not an administrative quirk, and it affects both how you apply and what you pay.

Where the Official Date Is Published

  • •The official Symbiosis admissions portal, which carries the registration window, test date, admit card release and result date for each cycle.
  • •The SIT Pune institute website, for its shortlist criteria and selection round format.
  • •Do not rely on dates from any third-party site, including this one — this page describes how the cycle works, not when it falls.
