Symbiosis International University (SIU) has officially announced the results for the SNAP 2025 exam. Students who appeared for the Symbiosis National Aptitude (SNAP) Test can now check their scores online. The results are available on the official website, snaptest.org . This update is very important for students looking to join MBA programs at Symbiosis colleges. If your SNAP scores are not as high as you hoped, there is good news: another chance to apply for the NMAT 2025 exam is now open. This allows students to improve their chances for MBA admissions this year.
NMAT: A Backup Option for MBA Admission
The Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), which conducts the NMAT exam, has provided an extra application window. NMAT is a popular MBA entrance exam accepted by over 50 business schools in India and other countries. Normally, students can take the NMAT exam up to three times during its main testing period (which was from November 5 to December 19 ). This new window is for those who did not use all their attempts or simply want another chance to take the test.
If you wish to apply for NMAT in this additional phase, you must register and schedule your exam by January 10 . The NMAT exams for this special window will be held from January 13 to January 17 . To apply, visit the official NMAT website, mba.com . It is important to know that not all colleges that usually accept NMAT scores will accept results from this extra window. So, students should check with their preferred colleges before applying. Using NMAT as a backup plan can help secure an MBA seat if SNAP scores do not meet the required cutoffs.
Expected SNAP Cutoff Marks
To get admission into the Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs at various Symbiosis campuses, students need to achieve certain cutoff scores in the SNAP exam. These cutoffs are usually high for top colleges. Based on information from previous years, here are the expected SNAP cutoff percentiles for different Symbiosis campuses:
| Campus Name | Expected SNAP Cutoff Percentile |
| Symbiosis Institute of Business Management (SIBM), Pune | 98 - 99 |
| Symbiosis Centre for Management and Human Resource Development (SCMHRD), Pune | 98 - 99 |
| Symbiosis Institute of Business Management (SIBM), Bengaluru | 90 - 97 |
| Symbiosis Institute of International Business (SIIB), Pune | 90 - 97 |
| Symbiosis Institute of Operations Management (SIOM), Nashik | 74 - 89 |
| Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management (SITM), Pune | 74 - 89 |
These numbers help students understand what scores they need. If your SNAP score is below these expected cutoffs, exploring other options like the NMAT exam becomes very important.
Other Important MBA Entrance Exams
Besides SNAP and NMAT, there are many other national and state-level entrance exams that students can consider for MBA and PGDM (Post Graduate Diploma in Management) admissions. It's a good idea to apply for multiple exams to increase your chances of getting into a good business school. Some other key exams include:
- XAT (Xavier Aptitude Test) : Accepted by XLRI and many other top colleges.
- CAT (Common Admission Test) : One of the most important exams for IIMs and other leading B-schools.
- XGMT (Xavier General Management Aptitude Test) : For admission to XIM University.
- TANCET (Tamil Nadu Common Entrance Test) : For MBA admissions in colleges across Tamil Nadu.
- ICET (Integrated Common Entrance Test) : For MBA admissions in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
Students should regularly check the official websites of these exams for application dates and other important information. Having a clear backup plan is key for successful MBA admission.
