SNAP Result 2025: Release Date, How to Download Score Card @snaptest.org

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.

SNAP exam is conducted in three sessions and a candidate can appear for one, two or all sessions. They can use the best score of their all sessions for admission. For example, if a candidate has scored more marks in SNAP session 2 than SNAP session 3, they can use SNAP session 2 score for admission.

To avoid negative marking in SNAP, candidates must choose the questions carefully. There are 60 questions in SNAP and not all are mandatory. So, first they should go through the questions and see which ones they find easy and which ones they find tough. Solve the easy ones first and then move to tough ones. If they are not confident of the answer of a question, they must skip it and not do the guess work to avoid negative marking.

There is no passing mark in SNAP. Candidates scoring more than 0 in the exam are eligible for WAT-PI round of SIU institutes. However, shortlisting of candidates are based on SNAP cut offs, which are between 50 to 99 percentile across the 16 SIU institutes. For example, SIBM Pune cut off for PI shortlisting in 98+ percentile, while SSSS Pune cut off is 55 percentile.

Total marks in SNAP is 60, which is divided into three sections of the question paper:

·       English: 15 marks

·       Quantitative Aptitude: 20 marks

·       Analytical and Logical Reasoning: 25 marks

SNAP percentile refers to a candidate's rank against all the test takers, calculated on the basis of marks scored in the exam. For example, total marks in SNAP is 60, so any candidate getting the highest score out of 60 will get 99.99 percentile. In most cases more than one candidates get the highest score so their percentiles are same.

The official answer key of SNAP is not released. It used to be released till 2019, but since 2020, when the exam was revised to three session mode, the examination body does not release the official SNAP answer key. Since, the format of the exam now is such that it gives the candidate a chance to improve their score, only the scorecards are released finally.

Candidates can however get the unofficial and memory based answer keys from MBA preparation coaching institutes and study groups. These memory based SNAP answer keys help candidates in assessing their performance by providing them possible answers to questions by which they can calculate the number of correct and incorrect attempts.

To avoid negative marking in SNAP, candidates must choose the questions carefully. There are 60 questions in SNAP and not all are mandatory. So, first they should go through the questions and see which ones they find easy and which ones they find tough. Solve the easy ones first and then move to tough ones. If they are not confident of the answer of a question, they must skip it and not do the guess work to avoid negative marking.

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

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.

Yes, you can appear for SNAP 2025. There is no cap on number of attempts in SNAP. One can appear for the exam, any number of times until they get their desired score. However, it is very important to prepare well for SNAP. Only then one can improve score in the subsequent attempt. One should note down their shortcomings in the first attempt and work on them so that they can make up in the second attempt.
