Hello Ishika,

Symbiosis Entrance Test (SET) is a University level examination conducted by Symbiosis International University (SIU). Through this exam, students can apply for admission in various courses in the field of engineering, law, design and many others offered by Symbiosis Institutions.

I am mentioning the SET  Examination pattern 2019 for various courses :

• This exam will be conducted in online mode (computer-based).
• The exam duration will be 150 Minutes.
• Total four question papers organized in two sessions, i.e. morning [9:30 AM to 12.00 Noon (Reporting time: 07:30 AM)] & evening [2.30 PM to 5.00 PM (Reporting time: 12:30 PM)]. You can apply for only one paper in each session.
• Total 150 questions will be asked for law, design & general courses and 100 questions for engineering & health science courses.
• The question paper of SET exam contains objective type questions only.
• For each correct response one mark will be awarded and two marks will be given in engineering & health science question papers.

The examination will be conducted on 4th May, 2019.

I am giving you some suggestions for SET preparation :

• Quantitative Aptitude : It also carries 25 questions and the areas need attention are : Geometry, Algebra, Statistics.
• General Awareness : This section carries out 60 questions and you must know the current issues and events in : Business, Health, Legal Area etc.
• Analytical and Logical Reasoning : This section carries 40 questions and the areas covering are : Coding and decoding, Data interpretation, Definitely true or false statements, Probably true or false statements etc.
• Reference Books for Symbiosis Entrance Test : I am listing some of the books which can be referred : Quantitative Aptitude for Competitive Examinations by R.S. Agarwal, Mental Aptitude by Subhkamna Publications, Data Interpretation and Logical reasoning by Arun Sharma, NCERT of 9th to 12th standard.
• You can prepare for this exam through the books i have listed. Mock tests are also a good way for preparations of the exam. You can also practice the previous year question papers of this exam.
