Hi,
Before discussing both the exams, let us know what they are.
SNAP: It is the annual management entrance for admission to MBA programs in the Institutes affiliated with Symbiosis University.
IIFT: This admission test is a written exam conducted by the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade for their New Delhi and Kolkata campus.
Now that we know about the two, lets discuss about them further:
SNAP is a speed and accuracy based test whereas IIFT is an exam where difficulty level of questions is moderate to high. IIFT is decently tougher than SNAP. If you have good speed and accuracy, you can attend SNAP. If quant is your strong area but english is weak, you can attempt IIFT.
Hope it helps.
