Last year, the SNAP Test result was mandatory for admissions to MBA programs in 16 colleges under Symbiosis International (Deemed University). Here is the list of the colleges and their programs for SNAP-

The paper had 60 questions to be attempted in 60 minutes and was divided into three sections General English, Analytical & Logical Reasoning and Quantitative, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency. Unlike the first 2 slots that had one time only, SNAP 2022 Slot 3 was held in two timings from 2 to 3 pm and 4:30 to 5: 30 pm. Continuing to follow the pattern of SNAP 2021, all slots of SNAP 2022 did not have any reading comprehension questions in the General English section.

SNAP 2021 followed a similar structure to that of SNAP 2020 and the test had no surprises or changes in the paper. The first slot of SNAP was held on 19th December 2021, the second slot was conducted on 8th January 2022 and the last slot was on 16th January 2022

In all three slots of SNAP 2021, the candidates were required to attempt 60 questions in 60 minutes. The General English section did not have any Reading Comprehension questions. On the other hand, the Quantitative, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency was a little tricky compared to last year. The overall difficulty level of SNAP 2021 Slot 3 was in line with Slot 1 and Slot 2 with a moderate level of difficulty.

The SNAP 2020 Notification had sprung the biggest surprise: reduced time. From 2 hours, the test duration had been reduced to 1 hour, with no sectional timing. Another surprise revealed in the Notification was about SNAP being conducted on three different days - with students being allowed to appear for any 2 of the three exam dates (though one had to pay twice!); with the better score being counted towards selection.

The first SNAP was conducted on December 20, 2020, the second SNAP was conducted on January 6th, 2021 and the third SNAP was conducted on 9th January 2021. The test was held smoothly. The paper had the same interface as that of CAT. SNAP of Day 3 was similar to that of Day 1 and Day 2 SNAP in terms of the paper pattern.
