Questions related to SNAP
can we give snap exam repeat after one year attempt?
Indeed, you can give snap test rehash following one year endeavor.
According to the most recent test design, one can show up two times in a single session. Everything looks great in rehashing assuming you want to beat what you're getting now.
Many individuals re-appear in the test since they need a particular institute.
So that's what my idea is if you want to score great in the exam, you ought to give it another try. Once you get a fair college, it won't make any difference that you dropped a year or something like that.

i got 54 percentile in snap 2021 will i get a call from any of the symbiosis university?
Hi,
Hope you are doing great.
I don't think that you will be able to get a call from any of the symbiosis colleges at this percentile because most of the colleges of symbiosis offer admission to you if you have scored above the 60 percentile. And this doesn't mean anything even if you get admission to a low-grade college because the outcome will be either no placement or a very low average package. So, you should go for this next year and try to do more work hard to get admission to one of the best colleges of symbiosis.
Hope this helps.
i got 54 percentile in snap 2021 will i get a call from any of the symbiosis institute?
Hello tanushree,
As far as your percentile is concerned let me tell you that 54 percentile for symbiosis institute so it would be very difficult to get a seat. So, if you were to take my opinion then i would suggest to keep some colleges as a back up.
However various factors are considered while deciding the cut offs like number of candidates appearing in the examination, number of vacant seats in college, previous years cut offs and difficulty level of the paper.
Is SIBM Hyderabad worth attending for MBA in finance? I Got 85 percentile in snap 2022 and thus did not qualify for SIBM Pune or Bengaluru. And I do not want to pursue any specialization courses in any other SIBM.
Dear aspirant,
I would suggest you if you are not satisfied with what you got and you wish for something higher and better then kindly do not join because you won't be satisfied. But note this only opt for this option if you really aim for something better and higher.
On the other hand , let me tell you on the basis of returns. You will invest around 20L and would end up getting a 10L job then it's absolutely not worth as far as my opinion is concerned. Rest is all upto you.
