Symbiosis International University (SIU) recently posted the exam schedule for the Symbiosis Entrance Test (SET) 2026 on its official website. However, these dates were quickly removed. The university's official website now shows the schedule for the 2025 academic session. This sudden change has caused confusion among students who are preparing for the SET exam in 2026.
What Happened with SET 2026 Dates?
Earlier, the official website, set-test.org , displayed the full timeline for SET 2026. This included application start and end dates, admit card release dates, and the exam dates. The SET 2026 exams were briefly listed as May 2, 2026 (Test 01) , and May 10, 2026 (Test 02) . These dates appeared on the homepage and in the dedicated dates section.
Soon after, SIU removed all information related to the 2026 schedule. The website was then updated to show the dates for the 2025 SET exam. The university has not released any official statement or notice explaining why the 2026 dates were published and then taken down. This lack of clear communication has left many students uncertain about their preparation plans for the upcoming year.
Understanding the SET Exam
The Symbiosis Entrance Test (SET) is a national-level entrance examination. It is conducted by Symbiosis International University. This test is for students who want to get into various undergraduate professional courses offered by different institutes under SIU. These courses include Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA), Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Mass Communication, and others. The exam is a key step for admission to these popular programs.
Expected SET 2026 Exam Dates (Currently Not Official)
Based on the dates that were briefly available on the website, here is a table of the expected schedule for SET 2026. Please remember that these dates are currently not confirmed by Symbiosis International University for the 2026 session, as the university has reverted its website to the 2025 schedule without an official notice.

What Should Students Do Now?
- Check Official Website: Students must regularly visit the official SET website, set-test.org , for the most accurate and current information. Do not rely on old screenshots or unofficial news.
- Stay Calm: It is normal for exam schedules to change sometimes. Staying calm and focusing on your studies is important.
- Prepare with Current Information: Until new 2026 dates are officially announced, students can continue their preparation based on the SET 2025 exam pattern and syllabus. This will ensure they are ready for the exam whenever it is scheduled.
- Look for Official Announcements: Any final decision or new schedule for SET 2026 will be published by Symbiosis International University on its official portal. Look for clear notifications or press releases.
The university has not yet given a reason for the temporary publication and subsequent removal of the 2026 dates. Students should therefore be careful and only trust confirmed information from the official Symbiosis website.
