Aparna Singh's Review on SIBM Hyderabad - Symbiosis Institute of Business Management

Eligible candidates must appear for Symbiosis National Aptitude (SNAP) Online test and according to which the candidate will be shortlisted for the selection process that comprises of-

• Group exercise
• Personal Interview

The institute releases the merit list of all the qualified candidates.

The cutoff is usually 50 percentile for Sibm hyd but the call is based upon the candidate's profile and past academic performance and work experience(if any). So the institute releases the calls based on both snap test performance and student's profile.

The classes start from 9.30 in the morning and usually go up to 4.30 in the evening. The curriculum design is at par with the current Mba program, including case discussions from Harvard business schools. The pedagogy is great and almost every professor holds a PhD degree in their respective subjects. Frequent presentations, quizzes are a part of lectures that make teaching all the more interesting and engaging.

The tuition fee per year is 7 lakhs, so the total comes to 14 lakhs for two years. The installment has to be paid for four semesters each that includes both hostel and mess fees. Educational loans are available as the institute has tie-ups with many banks, namely axis bank, bank of Baroda, Canara banks etc.

Clubs and committees are for the overall development of the students. Based upon their interest one can enroll themselves for various clubs such as photography, dance, drama, singing, sports, social responsibility etc. Apart from that, there is a respective club for all the streams ie marketing, finance, hr and operations. Career assistance team and corporate interaction cell cater to the placements and guest lectures from the corporate in the campus.
