SNAP Cutoff 2023

SNAP Cutoff 2023

The SNAP Cutoff 2023 was made available after the Symbiosis National Aptitude Test (SNAP 2023) results were announced on January 10, 2024. The cutoff range for SIBM Pune was at 98 percentile amounting to 43+ marks. For SCMHRD, the cutoff ranged at 97 percentile, equating to 42+ marks. Candidates who appeared for the exam could check their results on the official website, snaptest.org, using their login details. Each year, all 16 institutes of Symbiosis International (Deemed) University (SIU) released individual SNAP cutoffs after the exam results. Candidates needed to meet these cutoffs to qualify for the Group Exercise (GE), Written Ability Test (WAT), and Personal Interview (PI) rounds at SIU institutes. The article below outlines the SNAP 2023 cutoff along with previous year cutoff trends of top SNAP Participating colleges.

The table below underscores the SNAP 2023 cutoff range of the top SNAP participating institutes 2024. Each institute sets its cutoff, determining eligibility for the subsequent rounds. Candidates need to be familiar with the cutoff for each college to measure their chances for admission. 

Factors Determining SNAP Cutoff 2023

Each SIU institute independently sets its SNAP cutoffs for admission to their PGDM or MBA programs. These factors collectively help Symbiosis institutes set balanced cutoffs, ensuring they admit candidates who are not only well-prepared but also suited to the programs. The key determinants influencing SNAP Cutoff include:

• Number of candidates who took the SNAP exam: The total number of candidates who appear for the SNAP exam each year directly impacts the cutoffs. This factor reflects the demand for admission into Symbiosis institutes, making it a key determinant in the cutoff calculation.
• Difficulty level of that year's SNAP question paper: The difficulty level of the SNAP exam varies from year to year, affecting how candidates perform overall. Institutes consider the difficulty level when setting their cutoffs to ensure they select candidates who have performed well relative to the challenge of the exam.
• Number of candidates who passed the SNAP exam: The number of candidates who qualify the SNAP exam by meeting the minimum required marks also influences the cutoff. 
• Overall pass percentage and average high scores: The overall pass percentage, which indicates how many candidates met the qualifying criteria, and the average high scores, indicate the exam's general performance level.
• Availability of seats in each institute and program: The number of seats available in each institute and program is a critical factor in determining cutoffs. Institutes with limited seats tend to have higher cutoffs due to the intense competition among candidates. 
• Past cutoff trends: Institutes often look at cutoff trends from previous years to guide their current cutoff decisions. Historical data on how many candidates achieved certain score ranges, along with the highest scores each year, provide a benchmark.

What After SNAP Cutoff 2023?

After the SNAP 2024 results, SIU and its institutes will shortlist candidates based on SNAP cutoffs for the next admission round, which includes Group Exercise (GE), Personal Interview (PI), and Written Ability Test (WAT).

• Group Exercise (GE): The GE has two phases: solving a puzzle as a group to test teamwork and leadership, followed by a group discussion to assess communication and persuasion skills.
• Personal Interview (PI): The PI focuses on the candidate's background, future goals, and problem-solving skills.
• Written Ability Test (WAT): In the WAT, candidates write an essay or create a narrative based on a video, evaluating their analytical and interpretative abilities.

The SNAP cutoffs for SIU colleges have remained relatively stable over the years, typically varying by no more than 2-3 percentiles annually. For SNAP 2023, approximately 100,000 candidates participated in the exams held on December 10, 17, and 22. Those who pass the Symbiosis MBA entrance test will be invited to proceed to the next stages of the MBA admission process, which include the GE/PI-WAT round. Candidates must pass all three rounds to be considered for admission, with the final merit list based on overall scores. The final merit list will be determined based on the candidates' composite scores from all stages of the SIU selection process.
