India offering undergraduate and postgraduate studies and now a deemed

banner, it has many colleges, centres offering more than 40,000 Indian and
international students studying on-campus.
The reason behind the popularity of the school is
that it provides world-class education in its equally made state of the art
campus, classrooms, laboratories, libraries that attract students from abroad.
But the students must undergo various selection processes for the admission
into this famous institute. And SET is one of them which is actually the full
form of the Symbiosis entrance test.
Typically it is a national/India level entrance
examination for studying in any one of the seven colleges of Symbiosis
International University or SIU. Basically, the test is meant for the admission
to various undergraduate courses like Liberal Arts, Economics, Culinary Arts,
Design, Management, Engineering, Mass Communication.
Talking about SET-2021, it has three types SET
(General), SLAT (SET-Law) and the third one is SITEEE (SET-Engineering).
Students who
wish to study any of these undergraduate courses must appear for SET. The
eligibility criteria is not difficult, just 50% aggregate score in class twelve
(higher secondary) or equivalent examination.
The foreign
students who wish to study here will have to fulfil some additional criteria.
First of course they need to complete the 12th standard equivalent examination
from any foreign board. A
clearance certificate from the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) will be
required however.
SET examination preparation
The examination is not too difficult to crack. The
aspirants first need to understand the syllabus first and then practice as per
it. The practice should include mock tests, solving ample sample papers and
paper solving with a set time limit.
The question papers have the following, Analytical
and Logical Reasoning, General English, Quantitative Aptitude, and General
Awareness.
There is no negative marking and the aspirants can
appear only in online mode.
The papers are not at all difficult to crack (because
these are set with easy to moderate parameters) with regular and timely
practice, right and smart dedicated efforts.
As per their choice, a student can attempt more than
one SET exam for more than one course. But each course needs to be attempted
separately. That is one SET for one course.
Post SET what next?
The
successful SET students will have to appear for group discussion. This is
followed by personal interviews. In fact SET is the first step. Each of the
Symbiosis institutes has various other selection methods that follow SET and
those who clear SET will have to go through the respective processes.
