Symbiosis International University (SIU), Pune, has announced that registration for the Symbiosis National Aptitude Test (SNAP) 2026 is currently open.

The registration process began on August 21, 2026, and the deadline for applications is November 25, 2026 (Wednesday).

The SNAP exam is a computer-based test (CBT) conducted in online mode at test centers across 79 cities in India. More than 1.5 lakh candidates appear for SNAP every year, with over 1.4 lakh having taken the test last year. For 2026, the total number of sections in the exam has been increased from three to four, with the addition of ‘Ethics, Morality and Values’.

SNAP 2026 Registration and Fees

Prospective candidates must register online through the official portal, www.snaptest.org. A valid and unique email ID and mobile number are mandatory for registration and must remain active throughout the admission process. Upon successful registration, candidates will receive their SNAP ID and password via email and SMS.

The SNAP entrance test registration fee is INR 2550 per test. In addition, a non-refundable and non-transferable program registration fee of INR 1000 is required for each program a candidate applies for. Both the SNAP registration fee and the program registration fee must be paid for shortlisting purposes. Candidates are also required to upload a recent passport-size photograph, not more than six months old, with a clear view of their face. Uploading a candidate’s signature is not necessary. PwD, SC/ST, and Kashmiri Migrant category candidates must upload their relevant category documents.

SNAP 2026 Examination Dates and Pattern

There are conflicting reports regarding the exact dates for SNAP 2026. One source states the exam will be conducted on December 13, 19, and 26, 2026 (Saturday). Another source indicates that SNAP 2026 will be held on December 5-6, 13-14, and 19-21, 2026. Candidates have the option to appear for a maximum of three SNAP 2026 tests, with the highest score among these attempts being considered for the final percentile calculation.

The exam duration is one hour (60 minutes). SNAP 2026 comprises 60 questions distributed across four sections: General English; Quantitative, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency; Analytical & Logical Reasoning; and Ethics, Morality and Values. Each correct answer carries one mark, while 0.25 marks are deducted for each incorrect answer. There are no sectional time limits, allowing candidates to attempt sections in any order.

According to jimsrohini.org, the SNAP 2026 exam pattern differs slightly in question distribution, as shown in the table below. This source also provides specific admit card and exam dates for each test slot.

Eligibility Criteria and Application Process

To be eligible for SNAP 2026, candidates must hold a graduate degree from a recognized university or institute with a minimum of 50% marks. A relaxation is provided for SC/ST candidates, who require a minimum of 45% marks. Candidates who are in the final year of their graduation are also eligible to appear for the SNAP examination. Foreign nationals can take SNAP if they have completed the requisite qualifying exam at any Foreign University and possess an equivalence certificate from the Association of Indian Universities (AIU).

The application process does not feature a form correction window, emphasizing what’s key about accurate information during initial registration. Candidates are advised to ensure all details are correct before final submission.
