They can use the estimated SET score and percentile to take further decisions regarding admissions such as which colleges more colleges to apply for or which other entrance exams to appear for. Candidates can calculate their SET scores with the help of answer key in the following way: For every correct answer in SET one mark is awarded. There is no negative marking. No marks will be deducted or awareded for unanswered questions. 

The SET examination body allows candidates to challenge the official answer key. In case a candidate feels any answer shared by the examination body is incorrect, they can challenge it by filling an objection form which is released on the same day as release of the SET answer key. The candidates can fill the objection form by writing an email to exam conducting body.

The students need to write and email on the official email ID of the Symbiosis International (Deemed University). While at it, students need to check the question number from the PDF of the question paper. Write the relevant details and upload supporting document.

SET score is valid for admission for the same academic year in which the candidate has taken the exam. For example, SET 2026 score will be valid for admission for 2026-2029 BBA batch only. If a candidate wishes to drop a year after taking the SET exam, then they will have to appear for the exam once again next year. They should however check the eligibility or selection criteria to have a clarity of SET score of which session/phase is valid for admission in which academic year. Candidates taking the SET exam, the test takers must not try to use their score for admission more than one year after appearing for it. They should appear for it again and use the latest score for admission.
