Only Two Days Left Before Candidates Attempt the December 14th SNAP 2025 Exam

The crucial SNAP 2025 Test 2 is scheduled for December 14, 2025, leaving candidates with only two days for final preparation. This speed-based, 60-minute Computer-Based Test (CBT) is mandatory for admission to the prestigious MBA programs offered by Symbiosis International University (SIU), including SIBM Pune and SCMHRD Pune. Aspirants must now focus on revision, refining their time management strategy (60 questions in 60 minutes), and leveraging the absence of sectional time limits. Remember to download and print your Admit Card, which was released on December 8, 2025, and plan your travel to the center to avoid any last-minute stress.

With the second slot of the Symbiosis National Aptitude Test (SNAP 2025) on Sunday, December 14, 2025, just around the corner, aspirants have reached the most critical phase of their preparation. This computer-based exam is a high-speed, high-stakes assessment that determines eligibility for over 16 Symbiosis Institutes. Given the unique format—60 questions to be solved in 60 minutes with a negative marking of -0.25 for every incorrect answer—the final two days are less about learning new concepts and entirely about strategic execution and psychological readiness. Candidates must use this limited time for targeted revision, perfecting their mock test strategy, and organizing all necessary documents.

Admit Card and Crucial Exam Day Essentials

The administrative aspects of the exam must be perfectly handled in the final hours to ensure a stress-free entry and focus during the test. The SNAP 2025 is being conducted in three parts, and Test 2 requires its own preparations.

• Admit Card Download Status:
  • The SNAP Test 2 Admit Card 2025 was made available for download on the official SNAP website, snaptest.org, starting December 8, 2025.
  • Candidates must download the printed copy of the Admit Card, as a digital version will not be accepted at the test center.
  • Candidates are advised to check all details on the Admit Card—name, photo, test date, time, and centre address—for accuracy and immediately report any discrepancies.
• Mandatory Items for the Exam Hall:
  • A printed hard copy of the SNAP 2025 Admit Card with a passport-size photograph affixed (the same one used during registration).
  • A valid photo identity proof (original and non-expired) such as a Voter ID, Passport, Driving License, or Aadhaar Card.
  • Reach the Test Center at least 90 minutes before the scheduled exam time to complete the necessary security checks and biometric processes.

Last-Minute Strategy: Maximizing Attempts and Accuracy

The SNAP exam is a unique test of speed, accuracy, and smart selection. With no sectional time limits, candidates have the freedom to navigate between the three sections, which should be leveraged strategically.

• Focus on the High-Weightage Sections:
  • Analytical & Logical Reasoning (A-LR): This section carries the highest weightage (25 questions) and is typically considered the easiest or most scoreable part. Spend time revising quick problem-solving techniques for Blood Relations, Syllogisms, and Analogies.
  • Quantitative, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency (QA, DI-DS): With 20 questions, focus on revisiting key formulas in Arithmetic (Percentages, P&L, TSD) and Algebra. Do not attempt to learn new, complex topics now.
  • General English (GE): This section (15 questions) focuses heavily on Vocabulary and Grammar. A quick brush-up on common error rules, idioms, and contextual usage is highly recommended over reading lengthy Reading Comprehension passages.
• Smart Attempt Strategy (60 Minutes for 60 Questions):
  • Accuracy Over Speed: While it is a speed test, the -0.25 negative marking is punishing. Only attempt questions where you are 80% to 100% sure of the answer. A 'good attempt' is generally considered to be in the range of 40–45 questions with high accuracy.
  • Mock Test Analysis: Spend the remaining day analysing your most recent mock test. Identify the question types you consistently get right in under one minute and the ones that consume too much time. Base your exam-day section-attempt order on this analysis.
  • Mental Well-being: Avoid all-nighters. Ensure at least 7-8 hours of sleep on the night before the exam (December 13th) to maintain peak cognitive function and decision-making speed on exam day.

Post-Exam Focus: Symbiosis Institutes and Cut-offs

While the immediate focus is the exam, candidates must keep their target B-schools in sight, as the SNAP score is just the first step towards securing a seat.

• Premier Symbiosis Institutes (Expected Cut-offs):
  • SIBM Pune: The flagship college, typically requires a 97-98+ percentile.
  • SCMHRD Pune: Highly regarded, with an expected cut-off of 95-97 percentile.
  • SIIB Pune & SIBM Bengaluru: Usually in the 90-94 percentile range.
  • Other colleges like SIMS, SIOM, and SIDTM have cut-offs ranging from 70-87 percentile.
• Next Stage: GE-PI-WAT:
  • Candidates will be shortlisted for the Group Exercise (GE), Personal Interview (PI), and Writing Ability Test (WAT) rounds based on their best SNAP score (out of up to three attempts) and the individual college cut-offs.
  • The SNAP score holds a 50% weightage in the final merit list preparation, making a high score crucial.

With only two days left, it is time to move from general study to focused revision and strategy execution. Confirm your center, print your admit card, and spend the next 48 hours only on formula revision and sectional mock analysis to ensure your best possible performance on December 14^th.
