India stands as a youthful nation, with nearly half of its populace below the age of 25. The country takes pride in its consistent economic expansion at a rate of 7.8 percent, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Over the past thirty years, the nation has undergone significant changes through economic liberalization, privatization, and globalization. This transformation has greatly elevated the significance and recognition of the education system, particularly in the realm of higher management education. The demand for proficient labor and capable managers has surged across diverse sectors, emphasizing the need for skill development and progress.

The H.R. planners at all large organizations would be looking forward to recruiting graduates from top b-school management institutes to support their growth forecasts. 

That is why this year’s b-school selection attains prime importance in terms of its utility. You should make sure to pick the right b-school to give the best push to your budding career.

Studying at any of the top b-schools in India can provide you with meaningful returns on your investment of both money and time. But it is also a fact that the wrong choice of b-school could damage a brilliant career. With numerous thousand schools around, you may also face considerable difficulty in evaluating, applying, and joining one of them.

In this context, we believe that Symbiosis International (Deemed) University would help you safely navigate this and reach the very first step of establishing a successful and rewarding career – by proving the right b-school for you.

With its 40 + years of legacy in creating promising management professionals built over almost four decades and an extensive network of centres across the country, Symbiosis is in a vantage position to prove its claim of being the best b-school in India.

To get through one of the 15 premier MBA institutes under Symbiosis, you have to undergo a SNAP test. A national-level entrance test conducted by SIU, SNAP is a pathway to some of the top MBA colleges in the country.

This year too, SNAP 2023 is to be conducted for admissions into the upcoming batch of MBA (2024 - 2026).
