SNAP EXAM: General Overview

The Symbiosis National Aptitude Test, commonly known as SNAP, is a national-level management aptitude examination conducted in India. Its primary purpose is to facilitate admissions into postgraduate management programs, most notably the Master of Business Administration (MBA), offered by the 16 Symbiosis International (Deemed University) constituent institutes. The significance of SNAP is underscored by its role as the mandatory entrance exam for these Symbiosis institutes. Beyond Symbiosis, some other private management institutes may also accept SNAP scores for their admission process.
