About Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Nagpur (SIBM Nagpur)

Official website

Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Nagpur (SIBM Nagpur) is a private, postgraduate-only business school that began operations in 2019 as a constituent institute 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'). It is the third SIBM campus after Pune (1978) and Bengaluru, and sits on a large campus (commonly reported around 75 acres) at Gat No. 167/168/169, Village Mauje, Bhandewadi, Wathoda Layout, on the outskirts of Nagpur. SIBM Nagpur's flagship offering is a two-year, full-time MBA with specialisations in Marketing, Finance, Human Resource Management, Operations & Supply Chain Management and Business Analytics, alongside a dedicated MBA in Food & Agri-Business Management (FABM) - a niche programme aligned with the agriculture-heavy economy of the Vidarbha region - and a blended-mode Executive MBA for working professionals. Admission to the flagship MBA and MBA (FABM) programmes runs exclusively through the Symbiosis National Aptitude Test (SNAP), followed by the institute's own Group Exercise (GE) and Personal Interaction (PI) rounds (a Written Ability Test, WAT, is also referenced by some sources as part of this stage); there is no CAT/MAT/XAT or state-counselling route, and no management quota. Selection weightage is commonly cited as SNAP score (50 marks), GE (10 marks) and PI (40 marks) out of 100. The Executive MBA instead requires at least one year of post-qualification work experience and a personal interview, with no SNAP requirement. SIBM Nagpur describes a residential campus with separate hostels for male and female students (Wi-Fi and air-conditioning reported in student reviews), a large sports complex, an auditorium, medical facilities, a library, cafeteria and modern IT infrastructure, with case-study access to resources such as Bloomberg and Harvard Business School material cited by reviewers. Third-party aggregators report a general-category total MBA programme fee in the region of INR 14.3-22 lakh depending on the year and domicile status (Nagpur-domiciled candidates pay a discounted academic fee), with figures for the FABM programme and Executive MBA differing again; exact figures conflict across sources and are flagged inline below. Reported 2025 MBA placement figures show a highest package in the low-to-mid twenties (lakh per annum) and an average package in the range of roughly INR 11-12.3 lakh, though - as with fees - exact numbers vary meaningfully by source and should be treated as indicative rather than a single audited figure. Given the institute's young age (first cohort admitted 2019) and heavy reliance on third-party-sourced data throughout this record, prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to verify current seats, fees, specialisations and placement figures directly with SIBM Nagpur before applying.
