Exam Pattern and Syllabus for SNAP 2025
Understanding the SNAP exam pattern is the cornerstone of an effective preparation strategy. The SNAP 2025 exam is known for its speed-based nature, where a candidate has to answer 60 questions in 60 minutes. It's a test of not just knowledge but also time management. The exam has three main sections, and each carries a specific weightage. A thorough understanding of the SNAP syllabus is crucial for scoring well.
Here is a breakdown of the SNAP exam pattern:
- General English: This section comprises 15 questions focusing on Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension.
- Quantitative, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency: This section has 20 questions covering topics from arithmetic, algebra, and geometry to data analysis.
- Analytical & Logical Reasoning: Carrying the highest weightage with 25 questions, this section tests a candidate's problem-solving and logical thinking skills.
Each correct answer earns you one mark, while a wrong answer results in a deduction of 0.25 marks. A well-structured study plan should allocate sufficient time to each section to maximize your overall SNAP score.
The SNAP Selection Process: Beyond the Score
The SNAP score is the first step towards MBA admission into the Symbiosis colleges, but it is not the only criterion. After the exam results are announced, candidates are shortlisted based on the SNAP cut-offs for each program. The final selection process at SIU institutes involves three more stages, designed to evaluate a candidate's holistic profile.
The stages of the MBA admission process:
- Group Exercise (GE): Candidates are given a case study or a topic to discuss in a group setting. This tests their communication, leadership, and teamwork skills.
- Personal Interview (PI): A one-on-one interview with a panel of experts to assess a candidate's personality, motivation, and suitability for the MBA program.
- Written Ability Test (WAT): An essay writing test on a given topic to evaluate a candidate’s written communication skills.
The final merit list is prepared by combining the scores from the SNAP exam and the GE-PI-WAT rounds.
