SNAP 2025 Test-1 scheduled for 6 December admit cards live, aspirants reminded to verify exam-centre and exam-day instructions

: The SNAP 2025 Test-1 is scheduled for December 6, 2025, and the admit cards are now live on the official website. This 60-minute, speed-based computer test is the mandatory gateway to the prestigious Symbiosis MBA programs, including SIBM Pune and SCMHRD. Aspirants must immediately download and verify their hall ticket and thoroughly review the exam day instructions to ensure a seamless test-taking experience. Remember, SNAP allows up to three attempts, with the best score being considered.

The final countdown has begun for the first session of the Symbiosis National Aptitude Test (SNAP 2025). With Test-1 scheduled for Saturday, December 6, 2025, the Symbiosis International (Deemed University) (SIU) has officially released the admit cards on its website, snaptest.org. This signals the transition from months of preparation to the final, critical stage of execution. Aspirants aiming for admission into top Symbiosis institutes like SIBM Pune and SCMHRD must treat this last-minute logistical checklist with the utmost seriousness.

The SNAP 2025 exam is unique as it is a 60-minute, 60-question, speed-based Computer Based Test (CBT) that evaluates candidates across three core sections: General English, Analytical & Logical Reasoning, and Quantitative Ability, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency. Notably, the final percentile considers the best of up to three attempts (Test-2 and Test-3 are scheduled for December 14 and December 20, 2025, respectively), providing a significant advantage for those who perform well in later sessions. However, success in Test-1 can eliminate the need for further attempts and stress. A flawless entry into the exam centre is the first step toward a high score.

I. Mandatory Admit Card & Verification Checklist

The SNAP 2025 Admit Card is the single most crucial document for exam day. Candidates must not only download it but also meticulously verify every detail and prepare the necessary physical accessories.

• Admit Card Download and Print:
  • Immediately download the admit card from the official SNAP portal using your SNAP ID and password.
  • Mandatory Requirement: Take a colour printout on A4 paper. Black-and-white printouts are generally not accepted.
• Verification and Discrepancies:
  • Verify all printed details: Candidate's Name, SNAP ID, Test Date, Test Time, Test City, and the precise Test Centre Address.
  • Paste Photograph: Affix a recent colour passport-size photograph in the designated space on the admit card (this photo should ideally match the one uploaded during registration).
  • Actionable: If any discrepancy in personal details or the centre address is found, immediately contact the SNAP helpdesk via email or phone to get it rectified before December 6, 2025.
• Essential Documents to Carry:
  • Colour printout of the SNAP 2025 Admit Card (authenticated copy will be required for subsequent GE-PI rounds).
  • One original, valid government-issued Photo ID Proof (Passport, Driving License, Voter ID Card, PAN Card, or Aadhaar Card with photograph). The name on the ID must match the name on the admit card.
  • A simple black/blue ballpoint pen for signing the attendance sheet and rough work.

II. Exam Day Protocol and Time Management

Due to the strictly timed and digitized nature of the SNAP exam, adhering to the protocol, especially timing, is paramount to avoid last-minute panic and disqualification.

• Strict Reporting Time:Aspirants must reach the allotted exam centre at least 90-120 minutes before the start time (2:00 PM is typically the exam commencement time). The reporting time is clearly mentioned on the admit card.
  • Late Entry: Candidates will not be permitted to enter the examination hall after the exam has commenced (typically 2:00 PM). Being late means losing this attempt, which is a major blow given the high competition for Symbiosis seats.
• Prohibited Items: The CBT centre has strict security measures.
  • Do NOT carry: Mobile phones, smart watches, calculators, electronic gadgets, rough papers (separate sheets will be provided), or any textual material. No facility is provided for safekeeping personal belongings.
• The 60-Minute Strategy: The SNAP exam is characterized by its demanding time constraint.
  • No Sectional Timings: The 60 minutes must be managed entirely by the candidate across the three sections: General English (15 questions), Quantitative, DI & DS (20 questions), and Analytical & Logical Reasoning (25 questions).
  • Negative Marking: Each incorrect answer attracts a negative marking of 0.25 ($1/4$ mark). Success hinges on a well-practiced strategy of balancing speed, accuracy, and judicious question selection.

III. Final Week Preparation: Test-1 Focus

With less than a week remaining for SNAP 2025 Test-1, the preparation strategy must shift entirely from learning new concepts to high-yield revision and simulation.

• Targeted Revision: Focus exclusively on high-frequency topics that traditionally appear in SNAP, especially in Arithmetic (Percentages, Time & Work), Algebra, and key elements of Logical Reasoning (Coding-Decoding, Blood Relations, Directions).
• Mock Test Analysis: Stop taking new full-length mocks. Instead, re-analyse your last three mock tests. Identify the weakest question types you attempted and drill them only if they are quick-to-master concepts (like grammar rules or basic logic).
• Formula and Concept Recaps: Dedicate the last 48 hours purely to running through your self-prepared formula diary and quick-note summaries. This reinforces memory without causing burnout. Avoid intense study on December 5, 2025.
• Mental Preparedness: Ensure adequate sleep (7-8 hours) in the days leading up to the exam. Mental clarity and calm are the most significant differentiators in a speed-based test like SNAP.

The SNAP 2025 Test-1 is your first and best chance to secure a high score for admission to the premier Symbiosis institutes. Given the release of the admit cards and the nearing exam date, aspirants must execute the final logistical and preparation steps flawlessly. Download your SNAP 2025 Test-1 Admit Card immediately, paste your photo, plan your travel to the exam centre, and spend the remaining days solidifying your time-management strategy for the 60-minute sprint.
