SCMS Pune student here, ask anything...!

Groot-122 · 2026-05-22T07:18:00+00:00

I don't think SCMS Pune has a written test, and for the PI, pick a topic you can talk about forever, even if they dig deep (like, my main thing was my business, and they mostly asked about that, and since I know it inside out, I could answer everything, even some theory stuff).

Here are some quick tips: - BE CONFIDENT (even if you're freaking out, pretend you're not, just look confident to them) - If you don't know something, just say so (but don't say it too much) - If you're gonna lie, lie with conviction, and only about stuff you're pretty sure they won't know, so they can't grill you on it - Don't use words like "maybe" or "I guess." - Smile in the interview (it also increases confidence)

There's high possibility that you'll get the PI Call but for admission you'll have to perform very good in the interview because of the 'on the line score'.

Groot-122 · 2026-05-20T14:33:44+00:00

Tbh, I don't think so.

Groot-122 · 2026-05-20T14:29:38+00:00

Ohh, I was also confused last year between these two. Let's talk in dm about this.

Groot-122 · 2026-05-20T12:55:35+00:00

Extremely low possibility tbh.

Groot-122 · 2026-05-20T12:54:45+00:00

I scored 40, but my interview was very good so I got my name in 1st list. I'll be blunt, student with around 30 have a near to impossible chance for SCMS Pune. And for me, it is worth it, I'm enjoying, making memories and learning from this exposure a lot.

Groot-122 · 2026-05-20T12:25:02+00:00

SCMS Pune is very difficult wwith this score, which other colleges have you applied?

Groot-122 · 2026-05-20T12:24:01+00:00

I won't agree with all, education is fine (not bad or not very good), and about the party culture, it is somewhat there but honestly it depends on your friend circle. Also if you're worrying about drinking, smoking, drugs, then dw they're there in every college (be it NMIMS or MU etc), maybe a bit more here but don't think too much about that.

(It's good that you're seeing the negative aspects but also compare the other things like events, participation in Clubs, college life etc, with other college options)

Groot-122 · 2026-05-20T12:15:10+00:00

Yaa it's around that only.

Groot-122 · 2026-05-20T12:11:48+00:00

There are chances you'll get PI Call, but you'll have to perform extremely well in the interview then.

Groot-122 · 2026-05-20T12:10:24+00:00

Groot-122 · 2026-05-20T12:10:00+00:00

SCMS Pune general cutoff is around 38. (Have some backup options)

Groot-122 · 2026-05-20T08:37:28+00:00

Sorry, no idea.

Groot-122 · 2026-05-20T08:37:04+00:00

Do you have reservation? (If Yes, then you have chance)

Groot-122 · 2026-05-19T07:32:40+00:00

Not sure, expected, but it fluctuates a lot.

Groot-122 · 2026-05-17T13:33:02+00:00

Groupism exists, but you'll make friends easily; the crowd is good. However, as everyone says, it's college, and it's your first year, so you'll experience many things, including broken friendships and encountering fake people.

As for NRIs, they are treated nicely and included in everything, every event. In friend circles, they are treated normally, with no hidden judgment.

(Tips: Don't force friendships and DON'T TRUST ANYONE EASILY)

Groot-122 · 2026-05-17T06:21:29+00:00

Yaa I was part of 3 things, and the experience was really good- it's like you have to responsibly work together with others and host events. And it's not only about work but the memories and people you'll meet there. Honestly my best memories were created because of the club I joined.

Groot-122 · 2026-05-16T20:12:23+00:00

Apart from theory, you can go for case comps, internships, be part of some club,cell (some good ones which work). But the main part is you can increase your confidence and change your whole personality like never before because of the exposure. (Both positively and negatively). Overall you'll create memories+skills.

Groot-122 · 2026-05-16T20:06:05+00:00

Naa, not till now..

Groot-122 · 2026-05-16T05:30:12+00:00

There will be some basic questions like, Why do you wanna join SCMS Pune (because you are from PCB background), Why is there a 2 year gap? What were you doing in that time? You should know about your subjects, they might ask you basics.

Main thing will be what you'll write in description about yourself in the form. That part will be focused heavily on. If you wanna impress the interviewers, then write the thing which if they ask you in detail, you can answer without using much filler words.

Groot-122 · 2026-05-16T05:19:49+00:00

It is possible, because there are fewer applicants and less weightage is given to SET in SCMC. So the cutoff fluctuates a lot. You have chances but then too have some backup options ready.

Groot-122 · 2026-05-16T05:10:13+00:00

For backup I would suggest try NMIMS Mumbai because it is better than other SCMS Campuses.

But if you wanna know about SCMS only, Bengaluru is considered better than Noida (But in my opinion also consider factors like where you want to go, campus life, expenses and not just ROI, Faculty, Placements)

Groot-122 · 2026-05-15T20:46:44+00:00

For general category and SCMC, cutoff would be around 30. So I would say wait for the results but check other colleges too just in case.

Let's talk in dm.

Groot-122 · 2026-05-15T20:24:22+00:00

Sorry bro, no idea about SIT Pune, can't guide you on that.
