SNAP

For an effective SNAP preparation, candidates must make a plan which includes the following:

·       Timeline of syllabus coverage, practice and revision session

·       Time bound syllabus coverage (at least a month before the exam day)

·       Daily practice sessions of SNAP mock tests or sample papers

·       Daily revision of important chapters, concepts and formula

·       Regular problem solving sessions with peers and mentors

There is no sectional time limit in SNAP exam. Candidates can use 60 minutes in whichever way they like. 

SNAP has 3 attempts for all candidates in a particular academic year. For every session, candidates has to pay application fee of INR 2500. The examination body allows candidates to attempt the exam once, twice or thrice – it is up to the candidate to choose the number of attempts. Ideally, two attempts of SNAP should be good as there is not much gap between the sessions, and one doesn't really get a lot of time to prepare for the second attempt to improve score.

SNAP has 60 questions but it is not mandatory to attempt all of them. Candidates should, however, try to attempt about 2/3^rd of total questions in each section for a good score, overall.

To avoid negative marking in SNAP, choose questions carefully. There are 60 questions in SNAP and not all are mandatory. So, solve only those which you are confident of.

There is no difference between SNAP session 1, 2 and 3, apart from question sets. The exam pattern, marking scheme and test structure are same for all three sessions of SNAP, but the questions are different. The difficulty level of SNAP sessions is also the same.

Candidates need not pay any fee for downloading SNAP admit card. Candidates can download their SNAP admit card as many times as they want before the exam date. Once the exam date is over, the admit card download link will be deactivated. In fact, it is better to download a copy of the SNAP admit card and save it in a folder so that you don't have to download it again and again.

There is no restriction on downloading SNAP admit card multiple times. But it will be wiser to download it once and keep the copy saved in a folder and email, so that you can access it anytime and anywhere. Because every time you wish to download the SNAP admit card from the official website, you need to log in every time.  

Yes, it is mandatory to clear the SNAP GE-PI-WAT round for admission. Candidates planning to pursue full-time MBA from SIU institutes must know that they need not only good score in SNAP exam but also in the GE-PI-WAT round. The GE-PI-WAT round is conducted a month after the announcement of SNAP result. Those who make it to the PI shortlist need are invited for GE-PI-WAT round. If a candidate does not attend it, they are disqualified from admission.
