SNAP 2025 — Dates, Pattern, Eligibility & How to Apply

The SNAP (Symbiosis National Aptitude Test) is the university-level MBA entrance test conducted by Symbiosis International (Deemed University) for admission to Symbiosis institute MBA/PG programs. This page gives you a concise, action-first guide — official dates, eligibility, exam pattern, application steps and a fast preparation plan to help you register and convert your score into interview calls.

Who should apply (eligibility)

• Graduates (any discipline) from a recognized university are eligible to apply.
• Final-year students may appear provisionally (subject to submitting graduation proof at the time of admission).
• There is no upper age limit; work experience is welcome but not mandatory.

Always check the official SNAP notification for any institute-specific requirements.

SNAP exam pattern — what to expect

SNAP format changes occasionally. The important points for candidates:

• Mode: Computer-based (CBT).
• Sections (typical): Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension, Quantitative/DI, Analytical & Logical Reasoning (exact section names may vary).
• Question types: Objective MCQs; some sessions may include non-MCQ question types — confirm from the notification.
• Duration & timing: 60 minutes
• Marking scheme: +X for correct, −Y for wrong (replace with official scheme).
• Important: SNAP often uses sectional cutoffs — aim to be balanced across sections, not just strong in one.

Syllabus highlights

• Verbal & RC: Reading comprehension, para-jumbles, vocabulary in context, critical reasoning.
• Quant & DI: Arithmetic, algebra, geometry, basic statistics, charts/tables interpretation.
• Analytical / LR: Logical puzzles, arrangements, data sufficiency style reasoning.

Focus on accuracy and speed — sectional accuracy matters for shortlisting.
