The online application process for the SNUSAT Round 2 admission cycle is currently active. To maximize your chances of selection, apply through multiple entry routes within a single application form including national-level exams (JEE Main, NEET, CUET), standardized tests (SAT, ACT, UCEED), or the university's proprietary, home-proctored SNUSAT. Check the details below.

Shiv Nadar University (SNU) has announced the Round 2 final deadline for SNUSAT 2026 registration. Candidates seeking admission into various undergraduate programs across the university, including B.Tech, B.Sc. (Research), B.A. (Research), and BMS must complete their registration on the official portal before the application link is deactivated. The Shiv Nadar University Scholastic Aptitude Test (SNUSAT) and Academic Proficiency Test (APT) are administered as a computer-based assessment on a rolling basis, evaluating candidates on quantitative ability, abstract reasoning, communication skills, and essay writing.

To apply, eligible aspirants must create an account with a valid email ID and contact number, complete their personal and academic profiles (including Class 10 and Class 12 metrics), and select their preferred school and undergraduate majors. As exam slots are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, submit the non-refundable application fee and securely book your preferred proctored exam date, time, and test center slot well in advance of the May 31 deadline.
