The SNAP exam is considered one of the easiest national management entrance examinations, boasting a concise format of 60 questions to be completed in just 60 minutes, with its difficulty level being approximately half that of the most competitive management entrance exams. Should a candidate find even this exam challenging, it might indicate that a career in management studies may not be the most suitable path.
The exam is structured into three distinct sections: • General English, comprising 15 questions for 15 marks, covering reading comprehension and verbal ability.
• Analytical and Logical Reasoning, which is arguably the most pivotal section with 25 questions for 25 marks, carrying significant weightage.
• Quantitative Aptitude, Data Interpretation, and Data Sufficiency, a combined module with 20 questions for 20 marks.
A key advantage is the absence of fixed sectional timings, allowing candidates to navigate between sections flexibly.Regarding scoring, one mark is awarded for each correct answer, while 0.25 marks are deducted for incorrect responses. To achieve high percentiles and secure interview calls, candidates should aim for specific scores.
Historically, a 99.99th percentile was achieved with approximately 50 marks, while 44 marks yielded a 99.50th percentile, and 42 marks secured a 99th percentile. A score of 40 marks is often considered the threshold to significantly boost interview call chances from top management programmes. A pragmatic and ambitious target score for preparation is 45 marks, as this has consistently correlated with exceptionally high percentile
