SNAP 2015 lived true to its reputation of being unpredictable – who could have predicted that one could be asked questions about Akbar and the Bahmani Empire. While the test was characterized by a difficult General Awareness as well as Analytical and Logical Reasoning sections, the Quantitative Ability Section and General English section were fairly manageable. In general, SNAP-2015 was significantly tougher than the previous years’ SNAP exams.
The paper had quite a few speed-breakers along the way and test-takers who smoothly traversed the path around these speed-breakers will be the ones who do well in this test. In other words, the best way to maximize one’s score would have been to attempt questions judiciously without spending too much time on the questions that appeared difficult.
Th cut-offs for the various institutes are expected to be much lower than last year. Here goes my take on what could be the cut-offs for the different Symbiosis programs this year:
Let me clarify that the above are only indicative guesstimates – to help soothe nerves until the actual results are declared.
Its now time to focus on the next big test of the season, i.e. XAT 2016. Prepare well for XAT – do not worry too much about the SNAP results. If you have given it your best shot, the result will surely take care of itself.
All the best!!

Hi…My guess would be that an 80 to 85 %ile in the SNAP should be sufficient to secure a GD-PI call from SIMS.

Please refer the deadlines of the SNAP accepting institutes. SIBM and SCMHRD have their last date one day before the exam – so you cannot wait for the SNAP results before applying to them.

SIMS, until a couple of years back,was only for service personnel and therefore did not have a clearly stated cut-off. However, I believe that a 80 percentile should be safe enough to secure calls from SIMS.

Hi Dileep…as I have always advised do not go after such mappers…simply focus on maximising your scores – get as much as you can and that might just be enough to get you your calls.
