Symbiosis is not one institution, and that is the first thing to get right before looking up its NIRF ranking. Symbiosis International is a deemed university with many constituent institutes — SIBM and SCMHRD in management, Symbiosis Law School, SIT in engineering, SIIB in international business, and several more — each with its own admission process, fee structure and standing. NIRF ranks by category, so the university appears in the university list while individual institutes appear under management, law or engineering. A single Symbiosis NIRF rank does not exist. What exists is a set of positions across categories, and the one relevant to you is whichever category matches the course you are applying for. Looking up the university rank when you are applying to SIT tells you very little. What is consistent across the group is the model: institute-set curriculum, own entrance exam on its own calendar, unregulated fees, and admission that is less dependent on state percentiles than the CAP route. SNAP feeds the management institutes, SLAT the law school, SET the engineering and other undergraduate programmes. Fees run roughly ₹3L to ₹5L a year. Confirm current ranks and requirements on the official NIRF portal and the institute's own admissions page for the year you are applying, since both move.
