Comparing your MBA options? A Symbiosis MBA needs a SNAP score, a selection process and a full-time commitment. If you want to study while working, compare other routes as well. Many UGC-recognised online MBA programmes have their own eligibility criteria, and some do not require an entrance test score. Check that the university and the programme are UGC-recognised before you apply. Compare online MBA programmes and talk to a free counsellor.
