SNAP Registration 2024 (Started): Find direct link to register here

The SNAP registration process started on August 5th 2024, and will go on until 22nd November.

Last year, SNAP saw more than 1 lakh registrations, second only to CAT, clearly showing the rising popularity of the management programs offered by Symbiosis. Programs at top Symbiosis colleges such as SIBM, SCMHRD, and SIOM Nashik are highly sought after among management aspirants. And for good reason – the average package for SIBM MBA 2024 graduates was a whopping ₹28.16 lakh, rivalling that of the top IIMs. Students looking to get admitted to Symbiosis for their MBA can now register for the SNAP exam by visiting the official website – snaptest.org – and completing the SNAP registration 2024 process. 

The SNAP registration process started on August 5th and will end on 22nd November 2024. Interested and eligible students should register as soon as possible to avoid any last-minute hassles. In this blog, we’ll walk you through the SNAP registration process step-by-step and include other key details, such as the most important SNAP dates and the SNAP registration fee.

SNAP registration – Key highlights

The SNAP exam is a bit different than the usual lot of management entrances. For starters, it has no negative marking, sectional cutoff, or sectional time limits. It is only one hour long and tests students on their concepts, speed, and accuracy. But what makes it truly unique is that you’re allowed to take the SNAP exam 3 times. SNAP is held three times, with students permitted multiple attempts; the greater score will be considered for admission. While filling out your SNAP registration, don’t forget to choose multiple attempts. Additionally, keep in mind that you need to pay the SNAP registration fee of ₹2250 for each attempt separately.
