Shared

SOA publishes no weights. Candidates are ranked on a separate MBA merit list prepared from SAAT results and offered seats at counselling by rank and preference; admission is final once original documents are verified.

  1. Entrance test: SAAT, a multiple-choice test SOA runs in several rounds (in 2026: two main rounds, a mop-up round and two stray-vacancy rounds, from May to August); a candidate may sit it once per programme
  2. Merit list: a separate list for the MBA, drawn from SAAT results; selection is strictly by rank, subject to the seats left at counselling
  3. Counselling: online or offline, by merit and the candidate's choice of programme
  4. Final admission: after verification of original certificates; a candidate qualified in an equivalent state or national entrance test recognised by SOA may also be admitted
