Symbiosis International University's SET- Symbiosis Entrance Test (Undergraduate Degree Programmes) Entrance Exam

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. Students also need to pay objection fee through credit/debit card or net banking. Candidates can raise any number of objections. The SET answer key objection fee will be refunded to only those candidates whose objections will be accepted. Objections that have been submitted once cannot be edited.

The official SET answer key of every candidate released by the examination authority contains each question and its status which means, the answer marked by the candidate and right answer.

The best books for Quantitative Aptitude preparation of SET exam are listed below. These are the recommended books by experts. 

1. NCERT Mathematics books (Class 9-10)
2. Quantitative Aptitude for Competitive Examinations by Abhijit Guha
3. Quantitative Aptitude by RS Aggarwal

The NCERT Mathematics book is recommended for SET preparation because it is the best source of building or revisiting the fundamentals of Algebra Geometry, Trigonometry Mensuration Number Systems and Arithmetic. The NCERT books are extremely helpful to students from non-Engineering background. Quantitative Aptitude books by Arun Sharma, Abhijit Guha, Nishit Sinha and RS Aggarwal are the main books for SET preparation as well as other BBA and MBA entrance exams. These books cover all the topics at intermediate and advanced level. They also have many sample questions of easy, moderate and high difficulty levels for practice.

There is no cutoff for the SET entrance exam. However, cut-offs are declared only for the admission round day as to who can attend it. Rest all the students who have SET scores below the declared cutoff have the option to either attend the admission round or directly apply for the waiting list.

About cut-off

The cut-off is the minimum mark that a candidate needs to score to get a call for counseling from the college. Basically, it is set to make the process of selecting students more refined for the limited number of seats offered by the university and its affiliated colleges. Or we can say that the cutoff is the minimum mark required to be obtained by a candidate to qualify for admission to the courses offered by any of the affiliated colleges. Also, a candidate will not get admission if he or she fails to achieve the set cutoff mark. It is to be noted that scoring the cut-off mark will not give the student a direct chance for admission if he or she does not comply with other eligibility criteria.
