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:   What could be the score vs percentile for this year SNAP?

A:

The score vs percentile for SNAP exam would depend on various factors such as the number of test-takers, the difficulty level of the exam, and the distribution of scores. It is difficult to predict the exact score vs percentile relationship for the upcoming SNAP exam. However, based on the previous year trends, a score of around 60-70 out of 150 may fetch you a percentile of around 80-85. Again, this is just an estimate, and the actual score vs percentile relationship may differ. It is important to note that the SNAP exam is just one of the factors that determine your admission to MBA programs, and the selection criteria of each college may vary. Please upvote if it was helpful.

Q:   What are the chances of getting into SIBM Pune with low academics but a high SNAP percentile?

A:
The students have good chances of getting into SIBM Pune if they score well in the SNAP exam. A high SNAP percentile will indicate your dedication to academics. It will also help to get shortlisted for the interview round at SIBM. To get admission confirmation at SIBM Pune, you also need to score well in the interview round. The SNAP score has a weight of 50 percent in the final merit list, and the Personal Interview has a weight of 30 percent. Therefore, if you scored well in these two rounds, you can be assured of admission to SIBM. You may be asked to justify low academics in the interview, but if you manage to handle this question in the interview, you can score well in this round.

Q:   What are the SNAP cut off determining factors?

A:

SNAP cut offs are determined by each SIU constituent institute independently on the basis of certain factors. The cut offs vary for every SNAP accepting institute. The SNAP cut offs also vary from one year to another. They may be higher or lower in the next year as compared to past year cut offs. The main criteria on the basis of which the SNAP cut offs are determined include the following:

  • Number of candidates who appeared in the SNAP exam
  • Difficulty level of the SNAP exam
  • Number of candidates who qualified the SNAP exam
  • Pass percentage in the exam
  • High percentile range in the exam
  • Number of seats available in the programmes

Q:   What are the chances with 60 percentile in SNAP of admission in MBA hospital and healthcare management?

A:

The MBA hospital and healthcare management course is offered by Symbiosis Institute of Health Sciences Pune and its cut off is usually around 58-60 so yes, you have the chances of getting admission. However, now you can seek admission in 2024 session only by appearing in SNAP 2023 exam.

SNAP cut off for SIBM Pune admission is usually around 97-98.5 percentile. SNAP cut offs will be released by all 15 Symbiosis International (Deemed) University (SIU) institutes individually for admission to their respective MBA programmes in the first week of February 2024. The cut offs will be determined on the basis of number of test takers, difficulty level, average score, numebr of seat, etc. The SNAP exam will be held in December 2023 and the result will be announced in January 2024. The SNAP cutoffs will be announced in February 24. Candidates who will meet the SNAP 2023 cut offs will be considered for Group Exercise (GE), Written Ability Test (What) and Personal Interview PI round of MBA Admission 2024-25 batch.
