institutes offering his/ her choice of program by paying separate institution registration fees. If 
shortlisted, he/she would then attend the Group Exercise & Personal Interaction (GE&PI) process 
conducted by each of these institutes. 
Symbiosis International University has from this year brought the complete admission process 
under one umbrella. The process has been completely revamped .A simplified, streamlined 
process which is candidate friendly, convenient, advantageous and economical to a candidate has
