    Is it worth appearing for any of Symbiosis exams looking at the results of review of UGC panel who has recommenced withdrawing status of deemed Univerisity for Symbiosis. Symbiosis got only 19 marks out of 100 in the test of quality coducted by UGC panel. It means it is a very low quality educational institute. govt has given them 2 years to pull up the standard otherwise they will lose the status of University.
