Class 12 (or equivalent) pass in any discipline, minimum 50% marks (45% for SC/ST/OBC-NC per aggregator sourcing), plus a valid SET score.

Per official-FAQ and set-test.org (an authorised SET admissions partner) sourcing: (1) Register for and appear in SET (best of two attempts considered, conducted online, roughly 1 hour); (2) Separately register/apply directly to SCMS-B via its own application portal (a distinct step from SET registration); (3) Shortlisted candidates attend a Personal Interaction (PI) - conducted online, assessing general awareness, extracurricular record, academics, communication skills and programme fit (max 30 marks); (4) A merit list is drawn from combined SET + PI weightage and published on the official website; (5) Selected candidates complete document verification and fee payment. For the 2026 intake, SET registration closed 15 April 2026 and the SCMS-B application deadline was 21 May 2026 (per a April 2026 PNN/uniindia press release); the first-year course was slated to commence 20 July 2026 with an Induction/Orientation programme (per the official admission-FAQ snippet). Exact dates recur annually and should be confirmed for the applicant's specific intake year.
