Next SNAP 2025 Scheduled for December 20; Registrations/Preparations Underway
The Symbiosis National Aptitude Test (SNAP 2025) is nearing its final leg, with Test 3 scheduled for December 20th. This is the last opportunity for MBA aspirants to secure a spot in the prestigious Symbiosis institutes. Given the speed-based nature of the 60-minute, 60-question CBT, strategic revision and rigorous mock test practice are crucial. Candidates who appeared for earlier tests (Dec 6 & 14) can utilize this final chance to submit a better score, as the best of all attempts is considered. Check your admit card details and finalize your last-minute prep to maximize your score and achieve your management goal.

The pursuit of a premier MBA degree often hinges on strategic performance in top national-level entrance examinations. For aspirants eyeing the distinguished management programs under Symbiosis International (Deemed) University (SIU), the final opportunity is fast approaching. The Symbiosis National Aptitude Test (SNAP 2025) is slated for its third and final session—Test 3—on Friday, December 20, 2025. With earlier tests conducted on December 6 and 14, this last attempt becomes a critical deciding factor for thousands of candidates. The registration window has closed, and the focus must now shift entirely to optimized last-mile preparation to leverage this final chance.
Navigating the Final SNAP 2025 Exam Structure
Understanding the final exam's architecture is paramount to success. SNAP is renowned as a speed-based test, demanding high accuracy within a compressed timeframe. Aspirants must be fully acquainted with the structure to employ an effective test-taking strategy, especially in this final, high-stakes attempt.
- The exam is a Computer-Based Test (CBT) lasting just 60 minutes.
- It consists of 60 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) carrying a total of 60 marks.
- The marking scheme includes +1 mark for every correct answer and a negative marking of 0.25 for each incorrect response, emphasizing the need for selective answering.

Strategic Last-Minute Preparation & Revision
With the examination date imminent, a broad preparation strategy must narrow down to focused revision and simulated practice. Aspirants who have attempted the previous two tests should analyze their performance reports to target weak areas for a score boost in this last attempt.
- Mock Test Simulation: Take at least one full-length mock test daily under strict 60-minute time constraints to fine-tune your pace and question-selection strategy.
- Formula & Concept Revision: Dedicate time each day to quickly revise all key formulas in Quantitative Aptitude, geometry theorems, and essential grammar rules. Do not introduce any new topics at this stage.
- A-LR Practice: Since Analytical and Logical Reasoning (A-LR) carries the highest weightage (25 marks), solve a mix of puzzles, blood relations, and coding/decoding questions from previous SNAP papers to ensure speed and consistency.
The Multi-Attempt Advantage and Next Steps
A significant benefit of the SNAP examination is the option to appear for up to three tests. Crucially, Symbiosis International (Deemed) University considers only the best score among all attempts for shortlisting candidates. This final Test 3 provides the ultimate chance to maximize your score and percentile.
- Candidates who have appeared for Test 1 (Dec 6) and/or Test 2 (Dec 14) can utilize the lessons learned to make a highly strategic attempt in Test 3.
- The final result, combining all scores and calculating the final percentile, is typically announced in early January 2026.
- Shortlisting for the subsequent selection rounds—Group Exercise (GE), Personal Interview (PI), and Written Ability Test (WAT)—will follow the result announcement.
As the clock ticks towards the final SNAP Test 3 on December 20th, focus your energy on strategic revision and rigorous timed practice. This final push can be the difference between securing an admission call from a top-tier Symbiosis institute like SIBM Pune or SCMHRD. Candidates must immediately download and print their Admit Cards for Test 3 from the official SNAP portal and keep all mandatory identity documents ready to ensure a hassle-free examination day.
