What exactly is the SNAP Exam?

The Symbiosis National Aptitude Test, or SNAP, is the MBA entrance exam for 16 Symbiosis B-Schools in India. Every year, around 1 lakh students from various disciplines, including engineering, management, commerce, humanities, law, and more, take the SNAP Test in order to be considered for one of the 2,500 MBA seats available at Symbiosis B-Schools.
The SNAP exam is a test with 60 questions from General English, Quantitative-Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency, and Analytical & Logical Reasoning. The exam will last 60 minutes. The SNAP exam is a computer-based test (CBT).

A candidate can appear for upto three tests for SNAP 2023. If a candidate appears for more than one test, the higher score will be considered for the final percentile calculation and there will be no normalization . A rigorous process that has been statistically tested will be administered to ensure that unique types of questions are framed under a specific topic across the question papers. The normal spread will ensure that there is no unfair advantage to candidates who opt for any specific test / multiple tests. This will ensure normalisation of the spread of questions across sections. Furthermore, the question papers will be normalised for the level of difficulty across all three tests. No correspondence regarding this will be entertained.
