Commonly asked questions

Q: What is the MBA selection criteria through SNAP?

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.

SNAP 2025 Exam Dates & Schedule

Take a look at the table below for the complete schedule of SNAP 2025 exam

How to Calculate SNAP Score

SNAP marking scheme is similar to other MBA entrance exams. All questions carry one mark each. There is negative marking of 0.25 marks. Given below is the marking scheme of SNAP 2024:

Sections	Marks per question	Total number of questions	Total marks
General English (VARC)	1	15	15
A-LR	1	25	25
QA, DI-DS	1	20	20

So, if you get 10 questions right and two wrong out of 15 questions in VARC section, your sectional score will be (10x1) - (0.25+0.25)=9.5

The total marks will be calculated by totaling individual scores of all the three sections. Thus, once the unofficial SNAP 2024 answer key is released; candidates can calculate their marks and predict their total score.

Commonly asked questions

Q: What is a good score in 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.

Q: Is there a provision of marks revaluation in SNAP?

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.

SNAP Cut Offs

Admission to SIU is based on SNAP cut offs, determined by the SIU instiutes for their MBA programmes. Candidates who clear the SNAP exam are supposed to fill online application forms of SIU institute to participate in their admission round, ie. WAT-GE-PI. Those who meet the SNAP cut off, are selected for WAT-GE-PI. Check the estimated SNAP cut offs for MBA/PGDM admission.
