SITEEE 2026 Brochure Removed From set-test.org; Candidates Told to Wait for New Notice
Symbiosis International (Deemed University) has temporarily removed the official SITEEE 2026 information brochure and detailed schedule from its main portal, set-test.org. Candidates seeking B.Tech admission through the Symbiosis Institute of Technology Engineering Entrance Examination (SITEEE) are advised to ignore any outdated details currently displayed and wait patiently for the University to publish the final, verified notification shortly.
A brief period of confusion has emerged for engineering aspirants targeting admission via the Symbiosis Institute of Technology Engineering Entrance Examination (SITEEE) 2026. Following the recent release of the detailed notification and tentative dates, the Symbiosis Test Secretariat swiftly retracted the SITEEE 2026 brochure and application details from the official website, set-test.org.
The removal suggests that last-minute administrative changes, potentially involving revisions to the seat matrix, exam pattern, or collaboration details, are underway. Candidates who previously noted the dates must understand that all information is now deemed tentative, and they must await the official re-release of the documents before proceeding with registration.
I. The Current Situation and Cause for Retraction
The retraction of official documents is a significant, albeit occasional, occurrence in major entrance exams, usually indicating internal scrutiny before final publication.
- Reversion to Previous Data: Candidates currently visiting the portal will find that the website has largely reverted to displaying SITEEE 2025 (previous year) details. Aspirants are strongly cautioned not to rely on these older dates and regulations for the 2026 cycle.
- Expected Reason for Delay: Although no official reason for the removal was posted, the delay is likely due to the finalization of crucial components, such as:
- Test Schedule: Minor adjustments to the dates of Test 1 (previously May 2) or Test 2 (previously May 10, 2026).
- Eligibility/Pattern: Final approval of the eligibility criteria or examination pattern (though the pattern usually remains stable: 60 questions for 1 hour from Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics).
- Program/Seat Count: Confirmation of the final intake capacity and specific B.Tech programs available across the Symbiosis campuses (Pune, Nagpur, Hyderabad).
- Application Status: Though the application link was briefly active, the registration process is currently paused until the new brochure is uploaded.
II. Previous Tentative Dates (Subject to Final Revision)
Based on the information that was momentarily available, the following dates were announced but must be confirmed via the new official notice:
| Event | Previous Tentative Date (Requires Reconfirmation) | Note on New Schedule |
|---|---|---|
| Online Application Start | First Week of December 2025 | Expected to commence immediately after the new brochure release. |
| Last Date to Apply | April 10, 2026 | Likely to remain in April, but the exact date may shift. |
| SITEEE Exam - Test 1 | May 2, 2026 | Date may be finalized, but subject to change. |
| SITEEE Exam - Test 2 | May 10, 2026 | Candidates can appear for both tests, and the higher score is considered. |
| Result Declaration | May 20, 2026 | Will follow the final exam dates. |
III. Action Plan for Aspirants
The uncertainty requires aspirants to adopt a strategy of readiness and constant verification.
- Vigilant Monitoring: Candidates must make it a daily routine to check the "News & Announcements" section on the official website, set-test.org, for the release of the fresh brochure. Subscription to the official email/SMS alerts (if available) is highly recommended.
- Document Readiness: While waiting, candidates should prepare all requisite documents for the application upload, including photographs, signatures, and academic certificates, to ensure they can apply immediately once the portal goes live again.
- Exam Preparation: The syllabus (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) is highly unlikely to change significantly. Aspirants should continue their preparation based on the established SITEEE exam pattern (60 MCQs, 120 Marks, No Negative Marking) to avoid wasting valuable time.
The new and final schedule for SITEEE 2026 is expected to be published by the University authorities shortly. All engineering aspirants are urged to rely only on the updated documents uploaded to the official portal to ensure the accuracy of their application.
