How does SNAP 2026 scoring work across attempts?
The test is computer-based, runs for 60 minutes and covers around 30 MBA programmes across Symbiosis institutes. If you take it more than once, the institute uses your highest score.
However, scores are not normalised across sessions. Therefore, prepare well for each attempt instead of relying on a retake.
SNAP 2026 bulletin highlights
We read the official SNAP 2026 bulletin. You can download the original SNAP 2026 bulletin (PDF) to verify every rule.
Important: the bulletin says SNAP registration and payment close on 25 November 2026. Candidates paying by demand draft must reach the Test Secretariat by 3:00 PM that day. Also, each programme has its own registration deadline, so check every institute website.

Fees
SNAP registration costs Rs 2,550 per test and the programme registration costs Rs 1,000 per programme, plus taxes. Importantly, paying only the SNAP fee does not make you eligible for shortlisting, because the programme fee is also mandatory. All fees are non-refundable.
