Sectional Breakup of questions in General English section
Question Types | Number of questions | Difficulty Level |
Vocabulary | 11 | Easy |
Grammar | 2 | Easy |
Others* | 2 | Easy |
The VARC section was dominated by vocabulary questions with around 6 to 7 FITB (Fill in the Blanks), a couple of idiom usage questions, 1 question each on synonyms and compound words. 2 grammar based questions were asked where one had to identify the part of speech. *There was also 1 question on identifying the correct figure of speech as well as a parajumble question where one had to identify the first statement in the correct sequence. No RC questions were asked which made it less time consuming to attempt. There were no TITA questions. A good strategy would be to attempt around 12 - 13 questions in 12-14 minutes with 85+% accuracy.
SNAP Exam Analysis 2020: Analytical and Logical Reasoning
Out of the 25 questions in this section, 6 questions were on Verbal Reasoning and the remaining 19 were on Non-Verbal Reasoning.
The six questions on Verbal Reasoning were on expected lines - 1 question on syllogism, 2 questions on course of action, 1 on statement - assumption, 1 on statement - conclusion and 1 analogy question. All were fairly easy to attempt.
The questions on Non-Verbal Reasoning were dominated by Series questions (total 5), followed by Puzzles type questions (total 3). There were only two set based questions, having two questions each. Many students reported that the two questions in the sets were not consecutively placed. Continuing the tradition of SNAP, this section had one question that required some understanding of Physics in order to be able to answer the question.
Most of the questions in the section were easy to medium in terms of level of difficulty. Only one question in series completion required students to calculate the square of a four digit number. Moreover, the options in that question could not be easily eliminated.

Questions related to SNAP
I have got 92.9 percentile in snap. Can i expect a call from sibm Pune or scmhrd
Hello Aspirant,
The cutoffs are decided based on various factors like number of applicants, number of seats available, difficulty level of the exam etc.The expected percentile cutoff for SIBM, Pune is 98.5 and for SCMHRD, Pune is around 96. So in your case chances may be little low for a call from both institutes but the cutoffs may vary slightly so you can apply and try , other factors like past academic record, work experience etc will be considered. If you get a call, then do take Group Exercise (GE), Writing Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI) rounds seriously as they are considered for final selection.

snap score 83.25 kashmiri migrant chances sibm
Hello aspirant!
Congratulations on your percentile! I think your percentile is in the safe range for Kashmiri migrant quota in SIBM Pune. In the previous years it has been observed that it has been between 80-83 percentile. But it cannot be said for certain what it is going to be this year.
SIBM Pune is a great option for Kashmiri migrants. There are 2 seats available for this quota. SIBM Pune is known for supporting students with such backgrounds and provides equal opportunities for them to excel. Marketing, Operations, Finance and HR are the 4 specializations available here and the choice is not dependent on percentile or cutoff. Also, the student driven culture is a unique experience as the college prepares its students to be street smart along with book smart.
All the best!
Can i expect a call from siom nashik? Secured 82.47 percentile in snap 2020, also having 32 months of work ex and 9/9/7 academics. Please revert.
Hello Aspirant!
Cutoff for SIOM Nashik is generally around 85-87 percentile but this year, nothing can be said as less number of students have given MBA entrance exams (according to speculation). SIOM is one of the finest institutes in the country for MBA in operations management. If you do not luck out this year I would suggest try again and give it your everything next year and you might even have a shot on SIBM Pune. It is one of the best colleges for MBA in the country and the brand name remains with you forever.
Your academics are pretty decent and this will be in your favour when you go for admissions in any college. In case cut-off is achieved this year I would suggest focus on profile and general knowledge in order to clear interviews.
Hoping that you make the cut.
All the best!
Sir, I have scored 90.71 in snap 2020-21. Can I expect call for SIBM Bangalore and SIIB Puna?
You have more of a chance of getting a call from SIBM Bangalore as the cutoff is around 90 percentile. For SIIB Pune, the cutoff generally hovers around 92 percentile. But this year one cannot really comment on the certainty of this as lesser number of students appear to have given the examinations (this is for all exams). So let's wait for the final verdict with hope in our hearts.
SIBM Bangalore is a pretty good option if you don't want to repeat and prepare again. It has been doing well in placements. Give it a shot once the final cutoffs appear.
Hoping that you make the cut in both.
All the best!
