SNAP 2026: Registration Closes 25 November, With Fees and Dates
SNAP 2026 registration runs until 25 November 2026. There are three tests, on 13, 19 and 26 December, and you can sit one, two or all three. Each attempt costs ₹2,550 plus taxes, and every Symbiosis programme you apply to adds ₹1,000 plus taxes. SNAP scores are used by 17 MBA programmes under Symbiosis International University, including SIBM Pune and SCMHRD.
Who SNAP is for
SNAP is not a general fallback in the way CMAT or MAT is. It opens Symbiosis programmes and very little else: only one of the 197 colleges in our directory names SNAP at all. So the question to ask isn’t “is SNAP a good exam” but “is a Symbiosis institute on my shortlist?” If it is, SNAP is the route. If it isn’t, CMAT or MAT will cover more colleges.
We don’t have verified SNAP cut-offs for the individual Symbiosis institutes, and we’d rather say so than guess. Each institute publishes its own selection process, so read those before you choose programmes.

What it will cost you
The fee has two parts: ₹2,550 for each test attempt, and ₹1,000 for each Symbiosis programme you register for (up to 17), both plus applicable taxes. Here’s what a few plans cost before taxes:
| Plan | Calculation | Total, before taxes |
|---|---|---|
| One attempt, 3 programmes | 2,550 + 3 × 1,000 | ₹5,550 |
| One attempt, 6 programmes | 2,550 + 6 × 1,000 | ₹8,550 |
| Two attempts, 6 programmes | 2 × 2,550 + 6 × 1,000 | ₹11,100 |
| Three attempts, 6 programmes | 3 × 2,550 + 6 × 1,000 | ₹13,650 |
The programme fee is the one people forget. Choose the programmes you would genuinely join, not all 17.
