SCMHRD Pune SNAP Cutoff

This is an expected/indicative threshold based on current percentile-wise college research. It should not be described as an official SCMHRD cutoff.

SCMHRD Pune Fees, Hostel & Scholarships
For the MBA 2026-28 batch, SCMHRD's official fee schedule lists academic fees of ₹6,45,500 per annum. The published first-year schedule also includes refundable institute and hostel deposits, hostel and mess charges.
| Component | 2026-28 published amount |
|---|---|
| Academic fee | ₹6,45,500 per annum |
| Institute deposit | ₹20,000 refundable |
| Hostel deposit | ₹20,000 refundable |
| Hostel, three sharing | ₹1,12,500 for the published first-year schedule |
| Mess fee | ₹59,800 per listed installment; later-year charges are communicated separately |
| Published first-year total | ₹8,57,800 |
The institute states that hostel and mess fees can increase in subsequent years and government taxes may be additional. Students should therefore use the published installment schedule rather than assuming the first-year total is the final two-year residential cost.
