SIBM Pune PG Admission 2027

SIBM Pune uses SNAP as the compulsory entrance exam for MBA admission. The selection process has three parts: SNAP shortlisting, Group Exercise (GE), and Personal Interview (PI). A separate SIU programme registration is also needed within the SNAP registration period. Without this programme registration, a SNAP score alone does not make a student eligible for SIBM Pune admission.
