The SNAP exam 2024 test 2 is expected to follow the same exam structure followed throughout the previous years. Having a good grasp of the SNAP exam pattern and SNAP syllabus is essential for the candidates as this will help them to understand the possible SNAP exam difficulty and SNAP important topics. Let us go into depth about the SNAP exam pattern and syllabus.
Section Name | Questions | Maximum Marks | Difficulty Level |
General English | 15 | 15 | Easy to moderate |
Analytical and Logical Reasoning | 25 | 25 | Easy |
Quantitative, Data Interpretation and Data Sufficiency | 20 | 20 | Moderate to difficult |
Total | 60 | 60 | Easy to moderate |
As the SNAP 2024 test 2 slot 1 examination concluded, initial responses of the candidate are coming out. The following analysis can be made from them.
One idiom question on burying the hatchet was asked.
Another idiom question on matching the idioms based on their meanings was asked with questions such as Don’t count your eggs before they hatch.
One Verbal Ability question on finding the apt word that means ‘disturb’ was asked.
One statement like ‘snake hissed’ was asked and the poetic device used in it was asked to the candidates.
One complete the sentence question ‘My boss is _______ on impressing people” [Ans: Keen].
Six sentences were given and the candidates were asked to find the arrange them in chronological order.
There was one question on preposition and conjunction.
Another question was based on three complex words, Plump, droll, stout, corpulent.
One time and distance question on time and work starting with P and Q takes 144/5 hours to complete the work together. The individual timings were asked.
A time, speed and distance question on A person travelling at 10 km/hr was given. The candidates had to answer this question using both the time, speed and distance and AP and GP concepts.
There was also one question on successive discounts. The candidates were given two strategies and were asked to find out the best strategy among them.
A question on trigonometry with the value Sin 47+ cos 77 was given.
In the SNAP 2024 test 2 question paper, the candidates were asked one question on height and distance.
Find the next term of the series 1, 1/2, 1/6, 1/24, …………
The analysis of the SNAP 2023 test 2 examination is given below. The candidates are encouraged to go through them because, in recent years, SNAP has been observed to follow similar trends across the years. Having a strong idea of what happened during the SNAP 2023 test 2 examination will be beneficial to the candidates because this would help them to gain an idea of what to expect during the actual SNAP 2024 test 2 examination.
The SNAP 2023 test 2 examination was held on 17th December 2023, Sunday.
The SNAP 2023 test 2 examination followed the same format as that of the SNAP 2023 test 1 with 60 questions to be answered in 60 minutes.
The SNAP 2023 examination for test 2 says that the difficulty of the examination was the difficulty levels of the SNAP 2023 test 1 examination. However, some candidates expressed that the difficulty level of the quantitative aptitude section was slightly higher when compared to the first slot.
There were no sectional cutoffs or time limits as expected.
The negative marking for each wrong answer continued to be the same, 0.25.
Across all the sections, there were a good number of questions that were easy and doable.
The General English section was considered to be the easiest section and the number of good attempts in this section was seen to be between 13 -15.
Similarly, the Analytical and Logical Reasoning also had questions that were of easy to doable difficulty. Experts observed that the number of good attempts has to be between 16-19 can be advantageous for the candidates.
The Quantitative Ability, Data Interpretation and Data Sufficiency, however, remained more difficult than the other sections. A well-prepared candidate might not find this section to be too challenging.
When compared to the SNAP test 1 2023, the test 2 question papers had more questions from geometry and mensuration while test 1 focused more on number systems. 3 questions were asked about time, speed and distance, 2 each from profit and loss, average and mixtures, ratio and other miscellaneous topics.
With a few days left for the SNAP 2024 examination, the candidates should be on the last leg of their SNAP 2024 exam preparation. As we have already discussed the important aspects of the SNAP examination such as the SNAP exam pattern and SNAP exam syllabus, it is also important to make sure that the candidates practice with SNAP sample papers to enhance their SNAP 2024 preparation. By solving the SNAP 2024 sample papers, the candidates can give a significant boost to their SNAP 2024 preparation. This will help them understand the examination pattern better and ensure that they are able to cover all the aspects of the SNAP 2024 preparation.

Yes, you can definitely prepare better for the SNAP Quantitative Ability section by keeping a complete formula list with you. Instead of memorising everything randomly, it helps to organise formulas chapter-wise so you can revise faster.
Here is a useful formula list for the SNAP Quant section:
1. Arithmetic
• Percentages → % = (Value/Total) × 100
• Profit & Loss → Profit = SP − CP | Loss = CP − SP
• Discount → SP = MP − Discount
• Simple Interest → SI = (P × R × T) / 100
• Compound Interest → A = P (1 + R/100)^T
2. Ratio & Proportion / Mixtures
• Ratio → a : b = a/b
• Mixture formula → (Quantity × Difference) rule (Alligation)
3. Time, Speed & Distance
• Speed = Distance / Time
• Time = Distance / Speed
• Relative Speed → Same direction: (A − B), Opposite direction: (A + B
• Average speed → (2AB) / (A + B)
4. Time & Work
• Work = Rate × Time
• If A does work in X days → 1 day work = 1/X
• A and B together → 1/x + 1/y formula
5. Numbers
• HCF × LCM = Product of two numbers (for two integers)
• Divisibility rules (2,3,5,9 etc.)
• Sum of n natural numbers → n(n + 1)/2
6. Algebra
• (a + b)² = a² + b² + 2ab
• (a − b)² = a² + b² − 2ab
• a² − b² = (a + b)(a − b)
• Quadratic Equation → x = [−b ± √(b² − 4ac)] / 2a
7. Geometry / Mensuration
• Area of triangle → 1/2 × base × height
• Area of circle → πr²
• Circumference → 2πr
• Surface area of cuboid → 2(lb + bh + hl)
• Volume of cylinder → πr²h
8. Probability & Permutation
• Probability → Favourable / Total outcomes
• Permutation → nPr = n! / (n − r)!
• Combination → nCr = n! / [r! (n − r)!]
9. Data Interpretation
• Percentage change → ((New − Old) / Old) × 100
• Average → Sum of values / Number of values
If you revise these formulas along with short practice every day, your speed in SNAP Quant improves a lot. If you want, I can also share a chapter-wise important question list for quick practice.
All the best.
Hi there,
You have to apply separately for each symbiosis college, like SIBM Pune, as they as not automatically included. The CAT form automatically includes many IIMs, but the SNAP exam is a separate test that is given for admission to Symbiosis Institute, which requires its own separate application and fee.
Hope it helps!!!
Hello,
No, you don’t need to appear for SNAP for a PG Diploma in Bakery and Patisserie.
SNAP (Symbiosis National Aptitude Test) is only for admission to MBA/PGDM programs in Symbiosis institutes. A PG Diploma in Bakery and Patisserie is a vocational/skill-based course , not an MBA. Admission usually depends on 10+2 marks, graduation, or the institute’s own entrance/interview .
Hope it helps !
With a 70 percent in CAT Examination, you can go for various B-Schools or private collages. The S. K. Patel Institute of Management in Gandhinagar is an option for those who score 70-80 percent in their CAT examination or The Gujarat Institute of Management (GIM) in Goa with a cutoff of 60-80 percentage. These are the collages you can look for in Gujarat or nearby.
Collage in other regions: BA Colleges Accepting 70-80 Percentile in CAT 2025
Thank You.
Top MBA colleges based on CAT, XAT, SNAP, and NMAT scores include some of India’s best institutions. For CAT, the IIMs (Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta) and FMS Delhi are highly regarded. XAT results in prestigious colleges like XLRI Jamshedpur and XIMB. SNAP is known for Symbiosis Institutes, such as SIBM Pune and SCMHRD. NMAT scores open doors to NMIMS Mumbai, SPJIMR Mumbai, and ISB Hyderabad. Each exam has unique eligibility requirements, and their cutoffs vary, so it's important to research the specific criteria and select based on your preferences and strengths.
