Symbiosis International University (SIU) has announced the commencement of the registration process for Symbiosis National Aptitude Test, popularly known as SNAP, for this year, for admission to 23 programmes offered by its 15 institutes. The registration opened on 28 August 2018 and ends in the fourth week of November 2018.

Aspirants who are planning to apply for this entrance examination can do so by filling up the form online. At the time of registration, candidates have to select the course and pay the fee accordingly.

The application fee will be Rs. 1750 for SNAP, which is non-refundable. Candidates can pay the fee online through Billdesk Gateway, Axis Bank Gateway, Indian Bank Gateway and also through demand draft. Through net banking, candidates can transfer the fee to the symbiosis test secretariat account. Candidates can also pay the fee through cash by printing the 'axis bank or indian bank challan' from the website.

This objective type test carries 150 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) divided into four sections to be solved in a 2-hour duration. Each question carries one mark which means each correct response will fetch one mark. There is also a negative marking of 0.25 marks for each incorrect answer. All the 15 institutes release their SNAP cutoffs to shortlist the candidates for General Exercise (GE), Personal Interaction (PI) & Writing Ability Test (WAT).

Dr. Pranav Vyas, Ph.D., Head - STS, Symbiosis International University, said "We are very excited to announce the SNAP dates for aspirants who are looking for admission in 2019. Each year a large number of students take admission through this national examination process and we are hopeful that this year we will be able to surpass the previous year's application records. SNAP gives students the opportunity to apply to 23 programmes which are offered by our 15 institutes. I wish heaps of success to all candidates yet to sit for their exams."

For foreign university graduates, it is must to obtain an equivalence certificate from the AIU (Association of Indian Universities). Final year graduation students are also eligible to apply.
