The registration window for SNAP 2026 opened on August 21, 2026. The examination is conducted by SIU, Pune, and is a mandatory step for admission to various MBA programs offered by its constituent colleges.

SNAP 2026 Registration and Examination Details

Candidates are required to complete their registration online through the official website, www.snaptest.org. The registration window will remain active until November 25, 2026.

Candidates have the option to appear for a maximum of three SNAP 2026 tests, with the higher score being considered for the final percentile calculation if multiple tests are taken.

The SNAP entrance test registration fee is INR 2550 per test.
