Symbiosis is one of the most prominent and efficient colleges in Pune. Students mainly come here to pursue MBA. It is a pretty decent campus. Now, moving further to discussing CLAT, NLSIU, or NALSAR; as I have learned from some of my friends studying there, that to appear for CLAT next year, to get into NLUs may be worth the attempt. However, let us consider few factors: If you are successful in your attempt and manage to get into the top 3 NLUs, you might get a thought of not dropping a year and keep studying to achieve your goal. When you spend time preparing for CLAT, you would do so along with your current academics.  Will you be able to cope with current college academics is a big question. If you are not able to clear the CLAT as per expectations, your current studies at Symbiosis will suffer. Take the right decision by discussing and get in the proper decision, as, it is not wise to meddle around with your time and career.
