SSCANS BSc and BBA Selection Criteria 2026

SET score plus personal interview performance together determine the final merit rank at SSCANS. Candidates who clear SET are called for a personal interview. Final selection is based on a composite score of SET marks and interview performance.

• SET is a 60-minute computer-based test with sections on General English, Quantitative Ability, Analytical Reasoning, and General Awareness.
• Candidates must appear for the personal interview after SET. Candidates who skip the interview are not considered for admission.
• Merit list is published in order of composite score on the SSCANS admission portal.
• NRI quota candidates follow the same SET and interview process but pay the higher NRI fee slab.

As per Collegedunia Reviews, students praise SSCANS for its hands-on kitchen labs and industry exposure through internships. Several reviews highlight that the personal interview carries significant weight, and candidates with genuine culinary interest perform better in it than those with only textbook preparation.

Key insight: SSCANS SET scores are valid for admission to multiple Symbiosis institutes. Candidates who do not get into their first-choice Symbiosis college can use the same SET score to apply to other SIU institutes. Register early on set-test.org since seat count at SSCANS is limited and interview slots fill fast after merit list release.
