SNAP 2023 Analysis: Sectional Difficulty Levels of Test 2

Given below is the table indicating difficulty levels of the three sections of SNAP 2023:

Q:   My SNAP percentile is 94, and I had given the interview at SIBM Hyderabad. The interview was average. Are there any chances of admission?

A:
Based on your SNAP percentile of 94, you have a good chance of getting shortlisted for SIBM Hyderabad. However, admission to SIBM Hyderabad is not solely based on your SNAP score and interview performance. The final admission decision is based on various factors, including academic performance, work experience (if any), extracurricular activities, diversity, and the overall profile of the candidate. So, while your interview performance was average, it is still possible that you may be offered admission based on other factors that the institute considers important. However, it ultimately depends on the cut-off scores and the number of seats available for the course you have applied for. It is best to wait for the final admission decision from SIBM Hyderabad and consider backup options in case you are not offered admission.

Q:   Is there any cut-off for admission through SNAP?

A:
Yes, each institute releases Symbiosis National Aptitude Test cut-off marks for admission, on the basis of which students are screened for Group Exercise, Personal Interaction, and Writing Aptitude Tests. The candidates have to fill out an online form released after the release of the Symbiosis National Aptitude Test scorecard to be eligible for the second round of Symbiosis International University Master of Business Administration admission the Group Exercise, Personal Interaction, and Writing Aptitude Test. For more information, you may visit the Shiksha Symbiosis National Aptitude Test exam page. (https://www.shiksha.com/mba/snap-exam). I hope this will help you.

Q:   When will SNAP 2024 cut off be announced?

A:

 The date of SNAP cut off announcement is never communicated by the Symbiosis International (Deemed) University, as the selection process is conducted by the constituent institutes individually. However, it has been seen over the years that the SNAP cut off are released about a week after exam result declaration. The SNAP cut offs are available through login at the websites of SIU institutes as candidates who pass the SNAP exam, have to fill the personal interview form based on their score and college cut off. The SNAP cut off usually ranges between 55-98 percentile. The cut offs for SIMB Pune is the highest every year and the cut offs for SIHS Pune is the lowest.
