The SNAP cutoff trends over the years have shown stability over the years, with annual variations typically not exceeding 2-3 percentiles. This consistency reflects the balanced approach of SIU institutes in setting cutoffs based on both current and historical performance trends, ensuring fairness and relevance in the selection process.
The next steps after the SNAP cutoff is announced, candidates who meet or exceed the cutoffs will be shortlisted for further rounds of the admission process, which include:
- Group Exercise (GE): This involves solving a group puzzle to assess teamwork and leadership, followed by a group discussion to evaluate communication and persuasion skills.
- Personal Interview (PI): The PI assesses candidates’ backgrounds, career goals, and problem-solving abilities.
- Written Ability Test (WAT): Candidates write an essay or create a narrative based on a provided topic or video, evaluating their analytical and interpretative skills.
The factors that determine the SNAP cutoff each year include:
- Number of Candidates: The total number of candidates who take the SNAP exam impacts the cutoff.
- Number of Candidates Passing: The number of candidates who score above the minimum required marks also plays a role. More qualifiers may lead to adjustments in cutoff scores.
- Overall Pass Percentage and Average Scores: These metrics reflect the general performance of candidates and help institutes set fair cutoffs.
- Seat Availability: Institutes with limited seats may set higher cutoffs to manage competition and select the most qualified candidates.
- Past Cutoff Trends: Historical data on previous years’ cutoffs provides a benchmark for setting current year cutoffs.
