SNAP 2025 Registration Closes Today (20 Nov); No Extensions Expected
Today, November 20, 2025, marks the final deadline for the SNAP 2025 registration. This is the last opportunity for MBA aspirants to apply for the Symbiosis National Aptitude Test, the mandatory gateway to 17 premier Symbiosis institutes, including SIBM Pune and SCMHRD. With no extension anticipated, candidates must rush to snaptest.org to complete their application and fee payment immediately. The exam offers three attempts (Dec 6, 14, 20), allowing you to maximize your score and unlock admissions to top-ranked programs. Do not miss this critical final window for your MBA journey.

The high-stakes registration window for the Symbiosis National Aptitude (SNAP) Test 2025—the mandatory entrance examination for admission into the prestigious MBA programs offered by Symbiosis International (Deemed University) [SIU]—is set to close today, November 20, 2025. This final deadline is critical for thousands of management aspirants across India, as the university has clearly indicated that no extension will be provided beyond today.
The SNAP exam is the sole gateway to 17 distinguished Symbiosis institutes, including top-ranked institutions like the Symbiosis Institute of Business Management (SIBM) Pune and the Symbiosis Centre for Management and Human Resource Development (SCMHRD) Pune. Failure to register on the official portal, snaptest.org, and complete the associated fee payment by the end of today will regrettably disqualify an aspirant from the entire 2026-28 admission cycle for all Symbiosis MBA programs. With the exam scheduled to be conducted thrice in December, this is a time-sensitive call to action to secure your MBA future.
Immediate Steps: How to Complete SNAP 2025 Registration Today
Given the hard deadline of November 20, 2025, aspirants must prioritize the immediate completion of their application process. The registration is a two-step process involving the entrance test registration and the individual program registrations.
- Final Registration Checklist:
- Visit the Official Website: Go directly to snaptest.org. Avoid delays—the server may experience high traffic closer to the deadline.
- New User Registration: Complete the initial registration to generate your unique SNAP ID and password. Ensure all personal details (Name, Date of Birth, Email ID, Mobile Number) are absolutely correct, as corrections are severely restricted after the deadline.
- Fill the Application Form: Upload the required documents, including a recent scanned colour photograph and signature. Fill in all academic and communication details accurately.
- Select Test Dates: Choose your preferred one, two, or all three SNAP 2025 test dates. The exams are scheduled for December 6, December 14, and December 20, 2025. Appearing for multiple attempts is highly recommended, as the best score will be considered for admission.
- Mandatory Fee Payment:
- SNAP Entrance Test Fee: Pay the registration fee of ₹2,250 per test attempt selected. Payment can be made online via Credit Card, Debit Card, or Net Banking.
- Program Registration Fee: This is the most crucial step often missed. In addition to the SNAP test fee, candidates MUST register and pay the separate non-refundable fee (typically ₹1,000 per program) for each Symbiosis institute and MBA program they wish to apply for (e.g., SIBM Pune, SCMHRD MBA, SIIB MBA-IB, etc.). Only candidates who register for both the SNAP test AND the specific program(s) will be shortlisted.
- Final Submission: Review all details carefully before final submission and download the confirmation page and fee receipts.
SNAP Exam Structure and The Triple-Attempt Advantage
The SNAP 2025 is a computer-based test (CBT) known for its focused and time-bound format. Understanding the exam structure and leveraging the multiple-attempt option are key to maximizing your percentile and securing a call from a top Symbiosis institute.
- Concise Exam Pattern:
- Duration: The SNAP test is a fast-paced 60-minute examination.
- Total Questions: There are 60 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) in total.
- Marking Scheme: +1 Mark for every correct answer and a -0.25 Mark penalty for every incorrect answer. This moderate negative marking requires careful time management.
- Key Sections Tested:
- General English: Questions covering Reading Comprehension, Verbal Reasoning, and Verbal Ability.
- Analytical & Logical Reasoning (A-LR): This section often holds the highest weight and tests critical thinking, coding/decoding, and syllogisms.
- Quantitative, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency (Quants-DI-DS): Covers core mathematics, number systems, arithmetic, and basic data analysis.
- Maximizing Your Score: The provision to appear for the test up to three times (December 6, 14, and 20, 2025) is a significant advantage. This strategy minimizes the impact of an off-day and allows candidates to apply lessons learned from the first attempt to the subsequent ones, with only the best score being considered for the final merit list.
