Waitlist = 20 snap percentile = 78 st category chances of conversion ?

Hi there,

If we consider the cut-off trends for each category along with common waitlist movements, your conversion chances can be roughly estimated. ST category cut-offs for Symbiosis institutes that accept SNAP are always lower than those for the General category. According to the latest admission trends, the ST cut-offs of a few institutes typically hover between the low and mid-70 percentile range, whereas the top institutes might have cut-offs a bit closer to the high-70s or low-80s. Therefore, a percentile of 78 is enough to place you either within the qualifying range or very close to it for several Symbiosis colleges in the ST category.

A waitlist number of 20 is quite favorable. Such a position means that you are very near the final admission list, and conversion will depend on how many offers are accepted or withdrawn by candidates ahead of you. In most admission cycles, there is noticeable waitlist movement as candidates secure seats in higher-preference institutes or choose alternative colleges, especially in subsequent rounds.

To sum up, your profile indicates a fairly high possibility of conversion, particularly for institutes where the ST cut-off is below or approximately equal to your percentile. Although conversion cannot be guaranteed, your percentile–category combination and low waitlist number place you in a strong position.

Feel free to reach out if you have any other queries. WIshing you all the best.

Hi there,

The expected cut-offs for Symbiosis MBA colleges for the ST category are as follows:

SIBM Pune: 80-83%ile
SCMHRD Pune: 78-81%ile
SIIB Pune (IB): 68-70%ile
SIBM Bangalore: 75-77%ile
SIOM Nashik: 61-63%ile
SITM Pune: 63-65%ile

Based on your 78%ile, you have a reasonable chance at colleges such as SIIB Pune (IB), SIOM Nashik, and SITM Pune. However, direct shortlisting for top institutes like SIBM Pune may be less likely at this percentile. That said, cut-offs may vary from year to year, and final shortlisting depends on multiple factors.

Feel free to reach out if you have any other queries. Wishing you all the best.
