The Symbiosis National Aptitude Test (SNAP) 2026 entrance examination will be conducted in multiple computer-based test sessions during December 2026. Candidates will have the flexibility to take the exam on either December 13 (SNAP Test 1) or December 19 (SNAP Test 2) or December 26 (SNAP Test 3). During the registration process, applicants are required to specify the precise number of test attempts they intend to undertake. 

This multi-session window provides candidates with multiple opportunities to appear for the test within the same academic cycle. A key advantage of this multi-attempt structure is the scoring policy employed by the conducting authority, with only your highest score obtained among all completed SNAP exams being considered for the final percentile calculation and B-school shortlisting process.
