About Symbiosis Centre for Management Studies, Bengaluru (SCMS-B)

Official website

Symbiosis Centre for Management Studies, Bengaluru (SCMS-B) is an undergraduate business-management institute that began operations in November 2021 as a constituent of Symbiosis International (Deemed University), Pune - a UGC Category-I Deemed University founded in 1971 by Padma Shri Dr. S.B. Mujumdar on the Vedic principle of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' ('the world is one family'). SCMS-B is located in Electronic City, Phase-1, Bengaluru's established IT and business hub, and is positioned as a business-and-data-sciences-focused undergraduate school rather than a full-fledged standalone university. SCMS-B's flagship offering is a Bachelor of Business Administration - Honours / Honours with Research, structured around the NEP 2020 multiple-entry/multiple-exit framework: students can exit with a Certificate after Year 1 (44 credits), a Diploma after Year 2 (84 credits), a UG Degree after Year 3 (120 credits), or a UG Degree with Honours/Honours-with-Research after Year 4 (160 credits), with re-entry permitted within 3 years of exit (7-year maximum completion window). Students choose majors/minors across Marketing, Finance, Human Resources and Business Analytics. Since 2024, SCMS-B has also run a BBA Honours/Honours with Research - Dual Degree programme in collaboration with Deakin University, Australia: a 2+2 pathway in which the first two years are completed at SCMS-B and the final two years at Deakin, culminating in dual qualifications (a BBA from SCMS-B and a Bachelor of Business Analytics from Deakin). Admission to both tracks runs through Symbiosis's own Symbiosis Entrance Test (SET) followed by a Personal Interaction (PI) round - there is no CAT/CMAT or other externally-run national counselling body involved. SCMS-B describes its campus as Wi-Fi enabled with well-equipped classrooms, a library, conference rooms and seminar halls, an ultramodern gymnasium, a basketball court, an underground badminton court, hired access to cricket/football grounds, and an on-campus health centre (full-time medical officer and nurse, group medical/accident insurance, and compulsory annual health check-ups). The BBA programme itself is described as non-residential; SCMS-B facilitates (rather than directly operates) hostel access within roughly a 1 km radius on a first-come-first-served basis, given limited seats. Third-party aggregators report a general-category total programme fee in the region of INR 14.2 lakh for the standalone BBA Honours track (figures as high as INR 28-57 lakh appear on some aggregator pages once hostel, deposits and - for the Dual Degree route - Deakin University's own overseas tuition are factored in). Reported BBA placement statistics for 2025 show a highest package of roughly INR 10.72 lakh and an average around INR 6 lakh, though these come from aggregator Q&A pages rather than an official, audited SCMS-B placement report of the kind larger B-schools publish. Given the institute's young age (first BBA cohort only graduated in the mid-2020s) and reliance on third-party-sourced data throughout this record, prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to verify seats, fees, current specialisations and placement figures directly with SCMS-B before applying.

IMPORTANT: The rankings below are frequently cited on aggregator pages alongside 'SCMS Bengaluru' listings, but on inspection most describe the PARENT Symbiosis International (Deemed University) or the wider Symbiosis brand, NOT an SCMS-B-specific, campus-level ranking. None could be confirmed as an SCMS-B-specific rank in this session.

Reported as '2nd position nationally and 1st in the western region' - note the apparent internal inconsistency (SCMS-B is located in Bengaluru/South India, not the 'western region'), which suggests this figure may have been copied from a different Symbiosis campus (e.g. SCMS Pune). NOT independently verified - recommend omitting or re-verifying before publishing.

Frequently Asked Questions


Aggregator-reported 2025 figures cite a highest package of approximately INR 10.72 lakh and an average package of around INR 6 lakh (up from an average of roughly INR 4 lakh in 2024), with 31 companies visiting campus in 2025 (down from 38 in 2024). These come from third-party Q&A aggregation rather than an official, audited placement report published by SCMS-B - treat as indicative, not authoritative.

The BBA programme itself is non-residential. SCMS-B facilitates (rather than directly operates) access to hostel accommodation within roughly a 1 km radius of campus, allotted on a first-come-first-served basis due to limited seats; private hostels are also available within about 2 km.

Two BBA (Honours/Honours with Research) tracks: (1) a standalone, non-residential 4-year BBA with majors/minors in Marketing, Finance, HR and Business Analytics, following the NEP-2020 multiple entry/exit framework; and (2) since 2024, a BBA Dual Degree in collaboration with Deakin University, Australia, in which the first two years are at SCMS-B and the final two years at Deakin, culminating in dual qualifications.

SCMS-B only accepts the Symbiosis Entrance Test (SET), Symbiosis's own proprietary online test, followed by a Personal Interaction (PI) round. No CAT, CMAT or other external national exam is accepted.
