SNAP 2024: Exam Dates (Dec 8, 15 & 21), Admit Card (Released), Mock Test, Syllabus, Pattern, Old Question Papers

SNAP features three major sections, namely General English Quantitative, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency, and Analytical & Logical Reasoning. The test lasts for 60 minutes and comprises 60 questions, with each correct answer earning one mark and a 0.25 mark deduction for each incorrect response. Additionally, the exam is conducted in online mode, making it a more convenient option for test-takers.

The SNAP 2023 syllabus encompasses a broad range of topics, including Reading Comprehension, Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Aptitude Data Interpretation, and Analytical & Logical Reasoning. To make it to the next round of the selection process, candidates must meet the required cut-off score and impress the selection panel during Group Exercise, Personal Interaction, and Writing Ability Test (GE-PIWAT).

Compared to other management entrance exams like CAT XAT and MAT SNAP 2023 is a refreshing change of pace. With its shorter duration, fewer questions, and different selection process, it provides candidates with a unique opportunity to demonstrate their skills and stand out from the crowd.

Every candidate can make three attempts in SNAP exam. The SNAP exam is conducted in three sessions in a gap of one or two weeks. Candidates can mention their number of attempts in the SNAP application form. However, they will have to pay application fee per session. Thus, candidates who are sure of making multiple attempts only then they should apply for multiple sessions as the fee amount is non-refundable.  The scores of best attempt will be taken into consideration for shortlisting of candidates for Group Exercise, Personal Interview and Writing Ability Test.

Ideally candidates must take all three attempts as the difficulty level of the sessions could be different and it may so happen that one session is easy and candidates can score high in that.

SCIT Pune cutoff for the two MBA courses is based on SNAP scores. SNAP scores are accepted by the 15 Symbiosis colleges. It is mandatory for candidates to meet the cutoff in order to be eligible for the further round of admissions. SCIT is one of the 15 Symbiosis colleges that accept SNAP scores for MBA admission.

The expected SNAP cutoff percentile for the SIBM Pune MBA admission is around 97-98.5 percentile, while for other colleges, it may be lower than 98 percentile. 

No, SNAP exam is conducted in only one slot but on three days. In 2024, the exam will be conducted on three days and the candidates can attempt the exam in all three sessions. The SNAP 2024 exam dates are December 8, 15 and 21, 2024. Separate admit card will be released for every SNAP 2024 session. Multiple sessions are conducted for SNAP to provide an opportunity to candidates to improve their scores. If the first session turns out to be difficult for a candidate, they can study more and take the second exam to improve the score. The best scores of all the sessions taken by the candidate is taken into consideration for SIU MBA admission, thus candidates need not worry about whether their second/third attempt will better than first or not.

No, clearing the SNAP exam is not the only criterion for admission. The candidates will also have to clear a personality assessment test which includes Group Exercise (GE), Writing Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI) round to be selected for SIU admission. This personality assessment round is conducted after SNAP result announcement and only those candidates are eligible who meet the SNAP cut off fixed by the institutes. 

Apart from that, the institutes evaluate every shortlisted candidate’s academic record, i.e. score of class 10, 12 and graduation. Those who have been scoring consistently well in academics too, stand a better chance of getting selected for admission. Marks relaxation for academic and gender diversity, and work experience are also important factors for selection.

Candidates must reach their SNAP test centre on time as no candidate will be permitted to enter the test venue under any circumstances after the exam has started. If they are late for a SNAP exam, they will have to take the test in their second or third attempt (if they have registered for it). Reporting time for SNAP exam will be printed on the candidate's admit card. Candidates must reach their respective SNAP exam centres as per the reporting time mentioned or at least one hour before the commencement of exam. The entry gates will be closed 15 minutes before the exam and after that no one will be allowed to enter the venue under any circumstances.

SNAP help desk contact details are mentioned above on this page. The SNAP admit card is required after the entrance exam too. Thus, it is important to get the error rectified if there is any.

The candidate must preserve the rectified SNAP admit cards until the end of admission process. The admission authorities can ask for the SNAP admit card for authentication purpose during Group Exercise (GE), Writing Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI) round and at the time of final admission. 

Every candidate can make three attempts in SNAP exam. The SNAP exam is conducted in three sessions in a gap of one or two weeks. Candidates can mention their number of attempts in the SNAP application form. However, they will have to pay application fee per session. Thus, candidates who are sure of making multiple attempts only then they should apply for multiple sessions as the fee amount is non-refundable.  The scores of best attempt will be taken into consideration for shortlisting of candidates for Group Exercise, Personal Interview and Writing Ability Test.

Ideally candidates must take all three attempts as the difficulty level of the sessions could be different and it may so happen that one session is easy and candidates can score high in that.

SNAP is one of the few MBA entrance exams which is easy in terms of difficulty level. It is much easier The number of questions, as well as the exam duration are less that than other MBA entrance exams. The type of questions asked in SNAP as also pretty straightforward.

Moreover, SNAP exam is held thrice for candidates to repeat attempts, which allows candidates to improve their score if they want to. The SNAP syllabus is same as other MBA entrance exam and there are no questions on Reading Comprehension or Data Sufficiency. This makes the SNAP exam much easier to crack than other exams.

Since 2020, the exam is conducted for only 60 minutes and the total number of questions asked is also 60. The first section of SNAP question paper is General English, the second section is Analytical & Logical Reasoning and the third section is Quantitative, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency.

SNAP exam has 60 MCQs and every question carries 2 mark. Earlier, there was differential marking in SNAP exam, but in 2020 the marking scheme was revised and every question across sections was allotted 1 mark. You can read the SNAP marking scheme given below:

• SNAP has 60 questions
• Total marks of SNAP exam is 60
• Each question carries 1 mark for correct attempt
• For every wrong attempt, 1/4^th marks are deducted
• The General English section is of 15 marks
• The Quantitative, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency section is of 20 marks
• The Analytical & Logical Reasoning section is of 25 marks
• There is no deduction of marks for skipping the question

Candidates scoring 45-50 out of 60 can hope for getting a good percentile.

The question papers of all SNAP sessions are same but the questions are different. The pattern, structure, difficulty level and marking scheme are the same for all SNAP sessions but every question paper has unique questions. This is done so that no candidate has any advantage or disadvantage when they appear for the next attempt. Candidates preparing for the SNAP exam, must keep in mind that the different sessions could be of different difficulty level. If their first attempt was easy, the second attempt may not be easy. So, it is important continue to prepare and practice during the gap between two SNAP sessions. The best score of all the sessions will be taken into consideration for SIU personal interview shortlisting.

None of the sections of SNAP exam is tough However, if one compares between the three, the Analytical & Logical Reasoning section of SNAP exam is usually tougher than General English and Quantitative Ability, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency sections. Unlike other MBA entrance exams, where Quantitative Aptitude and English are tough, in SNAP only reasoning questions are tough.

The SNAP Analytical & Logical Reasoning has more questions than General English and Quantitative Ability sections, and most of the questions are not so easy to understand. It has 25 questions and about 18-19 questions are usually doable. Last year in the SNAP exam, the Quantitative Ability, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency section was tougher than the Analytical & Logical Reasoning. So, candidates must prepare for SNAP exam in such a way that they can handle questions from any section irrespective of their difficulty level.

Candidates preparing for SNAP exam must study all the topics included in the SNAP syllabus i.e. General English and Quantitative Ability, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency and Analytical and Logical Reasoning.

Some of the important topics of SNAP General English section are Passages, Syllogisms, Analogies, Grammar, Antonym-Synonym, One Word Substitution, Similar Sounding Words, Parajumbles and Fill in the Blanks.

Some of the important topics of SNAP Quantitative Ability, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency section are Trigonometry, Geometry, Algebra, Ratio and Proportion, Percentages, Partnership, Time-Speed-Distance and Data Interpretation.

Some of the important topics of SNAP Analytical and Logical Reasoning are Column Graphs, Pie Chart, Coding and Decoding and Puzzles.

SNAP aspirants must focus on these topics during exam preparation to score well. Most of the questions will be asked from these topics only.

SNAP syllabus for Quantitative Aptitude includes topics of Data Interpretation as well. Candidates have to study Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Mensuration, Number System, Logarithm, Linear Equations & Quadratic Equations, Set Theory, Arithmetic, Progressions, Binomial Theorem, Surds and Indices, Inequalities, Permutation & Combination, Probability Functions, Mixtures & Alligations, Co-ordinate Geometry, Series, Graphs-Pie Chart, Bar Graphs and Tables as part of SNAP Quantitative Aptitude syllabus.

The SNAP Quantitative Aptitude section includes Data Interpretation and Data Sufficiency. The total number of questions in this section is 20 and the section is dominated by Arithmetic. Since the past two years, no Data Sufficiency questions have been asked. So, candidates must focus more on Quantitative Aptitude while preparing for the SNAP exam. This section is all about accuracy so have complete clarity of concepts and theorems.

Those preparing for both CAT and SNAP exam need not prepare separately. CAT and SNAP syllabus are the same so one can prepare for both from the same study material.  However, since the exam pattern and difficulty level of both exams are different from each other, candidates need to devote a good amount of time on exam specific preparation. They must practice SNAP mock tests to understand the test pattern, topic-wise weightage, types of questions and difficulty level of the questions. The biggest difference between SNAP and CAT is the type of questions, so you need to practice sample question for SNAP to know how and what to prepare for it. You also need to know the sectional composition of SNAP, which is different from CAT. SNAP is easier than CAT so a mix of tough and moderate level SNAP sample questions and mock tests will be adequate for preparation. 

Yes, SNAP preparation is possible in three months as the difficulty level of this exam is easy to moderate. So, if one starts preparing for it with only three months in hand, even then they can score well if they put in six to eight hours daily into preparation. Complete the syllabus in 45 days and the give one month to mock test practice. In the last few days, do revision for complete preparation. To be in a better position, focus more on the topics from which maximum questions are asked. For example, in General English, most of the questions are Grammar based, so focus on it more. In Quantitative Aptitude section, more questions are asked from Arithmetic and Algebra than Geometry so focus on the former two. SNAP always has at least data interpretation question so don’t ignore it. On the other hand, the Logical Reasoning section of SNAP has maximum number of questions (25) and topics are diverse so pay more attention on this section if you have less time to prepare.

SNAP syllabus is similar to other MBA entrance exams, so candidates can prepare for it by referring to books for CAT and XAT, etc. But they must solve SNAP specific sample paper and mock tests to develop the skill to solve SNAP questions which are slightly different from other MBA entrance exams. Some of the books that are recommended for SNAP preparation have been listed below:

• Quantitative Aptitude for Competitive Examinations by Varun Gupta
• Quantitative Aptitude for All Competitive Examinations by Abhijit Guha
• Quantitative Aptitude for Competitive Examinations by R S Aggarwal
• SNAP Symbiosis MBA Admission Test by Priyanka Prakashan
• A Modern Approach to Logical Reasoning by R S Aggarwal
• Objective General English by R.S. Aggarwal, Vikas Aggarwal
• Competitive General English by Kiran Prakashan
• General English for Competitive Exams by Disha Experts
• High School English Grammar by Wren & Martin
• Word Power Made Easy by Norman Lewis     

Yes, coaching is recommended for preparation for any competitive exam as the candidate gets best of aid such as books, study material and mentors. However, the candidates must join coaching if only they can follow the rigorous time-table and daily classes.

About six to eight hours daily is considered good enough duration for SNAP preparation. However, if you start exam preparation late (by October) then you need to devote 10-12 hours daily. SNAP is easy and if you are preparing for other MBA entrance exams, you may not need to work too hard on it. A good number of sample papers and mock tests will be good enough. 

• Some of the most recommended books include:
• How to Prepare for Data Interpretation for CAT
• How to Prepare for Logical Reasoning for the CAT by Arun Sharma
• High School English Grammar & Composition by Wren & Martin

No, there is no provision of rechecking or revaluation in SNAP. Candidates get three attempts in SNAP to improve their score in a single academic year. Candidates can attempt the exam three times. However, whether to appear for the exam again or not is the decision to be taken at the time of SNAP form filling only as the option to appear for multiple sessions is mentioned in the application form only. You cannot register for re-test after the SNAP registration window closes.

Best score of all the attempts will be considered for admission. The scores mentioned on the SNAP scorecard are final. If any candidate wishes to improve the score, then they will have to attempt the exam next year again. 

The SNAP scorecard is available for download for about 1 year from the date of release. Test takers will be able to download their scorecards any number of times by using their login credentials. After one year, the link to download the SNAP scorecard will be deactivated. If a candidate will need to download the scorecard, then they will have to seek help from the SNAP Test authorities.

SNAP scorecard is a mandatory document for admission to any college accepting the score. Thus, candidates must download their scorecards as soon as it is released and save a soft copy of the same in a folder or email for future reference. This way, they will not have to worry about misplacing it or the need to download it again.

If you forget your SNAP login credentials, then you can create a new password by using the ‘forgot password’ option available on the login page. You can simply click on ‘forgot password’ and follow the instructions displayed on scree to change the password to log in. To get a new password, you will need to remember the correct email ID or the mobile phone number through which you had registered earlier. If you don’t remember that too, then you will have to contact the exam authorities for help.

No, candidates are not allowed to get admission to an MBA in Communication Management at SIMC Pune. Students must take the SNAP exam conducted by Symbiosis International University. Apart from the SNAP scores, the institute also accepts MHT CET entrance examination scores for admission to limited seats. Hence, for admission, candidates are required to qualify for the basic eligibility criteria and then secure valid scores in the entrance examination. 

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

The SNAP cut-off for Reserved category students varies from institute to institute, but it is lower than that of General category candidates in all B-schools. For Symbiosis Institute of Business Management (SIBM) Pune, the SNAP cut-off for reserved category candidates last year was: SC : 73.0880 ST: 38.8921 DA: 46.5174 KM: 87.9513. Candidates belonging to Reserved categories, having this much score are eligible for the Group Exercise (GE), Personal Interview (PI) and Writing Ability Test (WAT) round which is conducted for MBA admission. Candidates have to clear this round to get admission. 

As far as scholarship is concerned, top 20 overall scorers get a rebate of Rs 5 lakh in the course fee ( as per last year). Also, there is scholarship for girl students and students from IITs and NITs who join SIBM Pune.

The Symbiosis centre for management and human resource development SNAP cutoff score depends on several factors, including:

The difficulty of the exam

The number of candidates who took the exam

The no. of seats available at the institute 

The applicable level of reservation 

The previous year's cutoff for MBA admissions through SNAP

A good attempt of around 80 per cent of questions with 85-90 per cent accuracy is considered good score in SNAP. The SNAP exam has 60 questions only, so the number of attempts considered good are 40-45. Candidates must aim to solve a good number of questions in every section of SNAP, so that their overall score is good and they have a better chance of getting selected for admission. If you do not clear the SNAP cut off may not be eligible for admission to MBA programmers offered by SIU institutes. Meeting the minimum cut off is a mandatory requirement to be eligible for the Group Exercise (GE), Personal Interview (PI) and Writing Ability Test (WAT). Thus, when preparing for SNAP, keep in mind a target score. The SNAP cut offs are lower for Reserved category candidates.

The SNAP application fee for SIMC Pune admission is INR 2,250,  whereas for every SIU institute, candidates have to pay INR 1000. For example, if they select Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication in the SNAP application form, they have to pay INR 1000. After qualifying for the SNAP entrance examination, candidates are required to appear in  the GE-WAT-PI round. 

No, clearing the SNAP exam is not the only criterion for admission. The candidates will also have to clear a personality assessment test which includes Group Exercise (GE), Writing Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI) round to be selected for SIU admission. This personality assessment round is conducted after SNAP result announcement and only those candidates are eligible who meet the SNAP cut off fixed by the institutes. 

Apart from that, the institutes evaluate every shortlisted candidate’s academic record, i.e. score of class 10, 12 and graduation. Those who have been scoring consistently well in academics too, stand a better chance of getting selected for admission. Marks relaxation for academic and gender diversity, and work experience are also important factors for selection.

The SNAP cut-off for Reserved category students varies from institute to institute, but it is lower than that of General category candidates in all B-schools. For Symbiosis Institute of Business Management (SIBM) Pune, the SNAP cut-off for reserved category candidates last year was: SC : 73.0880 ST: 38.8921 DA: 46.5174 KM: 87.9513. Candidates belonging to Reserved categories, having this much score are eligible for the Group Exercise (GE), Personal Interview (PI) and Writing Ability Test (WAT) round which is conducted for MBA admission. Candidates have to clear this round to get admission. 

As far as scholarship is concerned, top 20 overall scorers get a rebate of Rs 5 lakh in the course fee ( as per last year). Also, there is scholarship for girl students and students from IITs and NITs who join SIBM Pune.

No, clearing the SNAP exam is not the only criterion for SIIB admission. The candidates will also have to clear a personality assessment test which includes Group Exercise (GE), Writing Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI) round to be selected for SIIB admission. This personality assessment round is conducted after SNAP result announcement and only those candidates are eligible who meet the SNAP cut off fixed by the institutes. 

Candidates are selected on the basis of SNAP cut offs for the MBA admission round which consists of Group Exercise (GE), Personal Interview (PI) and Writing Ability Test (WAT). This round is held in February and March after the announcement of SNAP result.

Candidates who clear the GE-PI-WAT round are selected for MBA admission. The parameters for selection also include class 10, 12 and graduation scores, academic profile and work experience. All SIU institutes conduct Group Exercise, Writing Ability Test but individually.

Sectional SNAP cut offs may be evaluated for selection of candidate for Group Exercise, Writing Ability Test and Personal Interview. Scores of every section will be taken into consideration for shortlisting of candidates along with their academic record. Thus, candidates must ensure that they perform well enough in each section of the SNAP exam.

The eligibility criteria and selection process are designed to pick the cream of the crop. To be eligible, candidates need to have a Bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognised university with a minimum of 50% marks. But don't fret if you're in your final year, as you can still apply as long as you obtain the required minimum marks. Once you clear the eligibility criteria, the selection process begins, which includes shortlisting candidates based on their SNAP score, followed by the Group Exercise, Personal Interaction, and Writing Ability Test (GE-PIWAT).

To secure your spot, you need to perform well in all stages of the selection process, including demonstrating your aptitude, communication skills, and leadership potential. It's a competitive and rigorous process, but with dedication and preparation, you can ace it and be on your way to a bright future in the field of management.

Yes, you are eligible to apply for SNAP 2024. You will need to mention the same in the SNAP application form. Since there is minimum score requirement for SNAP, final year candidates will have to make sure that their minimum score of first and second year of the bachelor’s degree programme should be above 50 per cent (45 per cent for reserved category). So, you need to check the average score of your first and second score is above the minimum requirement or not. If not, the in the final year you will have to score as much that the average score of three years matches the requirement. If the average score of your first and second year is above the minimum requirement even them, in the final year, you will have to score above the minimum score requirement otherwise the admission will be deemed invalid, even if you fulfill all the admission criteria.

No, the SNAP application fee does not include the fee for SIU institutes that the candidate wishes to apply at. The SNAP application fee is INR 2,250, whereas for every SIU institute, candidates have to pay INR 1000. For example, if they select one institute in the SNAP application form, they have to pay INR 1000, if they select two institutes they have to pay INR 2000.

If a candidate chooses to not select any institute in the application form, they don’t have to pay any amount other than INR 1,950. However, in that case, they will not be eligible for selection to the GE-WAT-PI round of the SIU institutes.

Yes, it is mandatory to fill the SNAP application form for admission to the MBA programmes of the SIU institute. There is a field in the SNAP application form where candidates have to mention their choice of SIU colleges and MBA courses they wish to pursue. They need to pay INR 1000 per college selection. There will be no institute specific application form released later. Candidates will have to use the SNAP application ID to fill the admission shortlist forms of the constituent institutes. If a candidate fails to mention a college in their SNAP application form, they will not be shortlisted for WAT-GE-PI of that SIU institute.

Correction in the already submitted application form is not allowed in SNAP as it doesn't have form correction provision like other MBA entrance exams. Candidates can edit their form only till the time it is not submitted and the fee is not paid. Until the form is saved in the student dashboard, you can edit it. Once the fee payment is done, your SNAP application will be locked for examination agency’s verification.

Thus, candidates must preview the SNAP application form at least once before submitting it. If they make a mistake in the form, they will have to fill a fresh form before the deadline and if they miss the deadline and the application window is closed, they will not be able to appear for the exam. 

An applicant can select up to three cities for allotment of test centre in the SNAP application form. The exam authorities will allot the exam centre to candidates in their preferred city. In case, seats are not available in the first preferred city, it will be notified in the form and candidates can select another city. Candidates must select their home city or city of current residence as first preference.

SNAP is conducted in about 84 cities across India. The latest list of SNAP cities has been released along with the SNAP registration form. Every city will have at least one SNAP exam centre to accommodate a minimum of 50 test takers. You can select only one city per exam session. For example, if you want to appear for SNAP exam only once, then you can select only one city.
