SNAP 2026 registration is currently open at snaptest.org, the official portal managed by Symbiosis International University (SIU). Candidates who wish to appear for the Symbiosis National Aptitude Test 2026 must complete their online application and fee payment on or before November 25, 2026. The SNAP 2026 test fee is INR 2,550 per attempt, paid directly on snaptest.org at the time of registration.
- SNAP 2026 registration opened on August 21, 2026 and the last date to apply is November 25, 2026 at snaptest.org.
- The SNAP test fee is INR 2,550 per attempt; candidates can register for up to three SNAP test dates (December 13, 19, and 26, 2026).
- A separate SIU programme registration fee of INR 1,000 per programme is payable for each Symbiosis institute a candidate applies to.
- In 2025, the SNAP registration deadline was also November 25 and was not extended — candidates are advised to complete registration well before the deadline.
- After registration closes, SNAP 2026 admit cards are expected in the second week of December 2026, and results are expected in January 2027.
Completing SNAP test registration at snaptest.org is not sufficient on its own. Candidates must also register separately for each SIU MBA programme they wish to be considered for, paying INR 1,000 per programme. Both steps must be completed before November 25, 2026.
In this article, we cover all live updates on SNAP 2026 Registration, including the complete online application process at snaptest.org, the two-step registration model, fee payment, SIU programme selection, document upload specifications, eligibility criteria, the new 2026 exam pattern, and troubleshooting steps for common portal errors.

SNAP 2026 Registration: 27 Days Remaining to Apply at snaptest.org
As of October 29, 2026, the SNAP 2026 registration window has 27 days remaining before it closes on November 25, 2026. The application portal at snaptest.org is active, and candidates who have not yet registered should complete both the SNAP test registration and SIU programme registration before the deadline. Candidates who have already created their SNAP 2026 account but have not yet paid the fee can log back in to complete payment without re-entering their personal details.
The portal experiences significantly higher traffic in the final two weeks before the deadline. Candidates are advised to complete their application this week to avoid last-minute portal congestion and payment failures. SIU has historically not extended the SNAP registration deadline; the November 25 date should be treated as final.

SNAP 2026 Registration: How to Select SIU MBA Programmes After Creating Your Account
After completing the SNAP test registration at snaptest.org, candidates must separately register for each SIU MBA programme they wish to be considered for. This is the second mandatory step of the SNAP 2026 registration process:
| Step | Process | Tips |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Log in to your SNAP 2026 account at snaptest.org using your registered email and password | Use the same credentials created during SNAP test registration |
| 2 | Navigate to the "Programme Registration" section from the candidate dashboard | This is a separate tab from the SNAP test date selection; both must be completed |
| 3 | Browse the list of SIU MBA programmes — SIBM Pune, SCMHRD Pune, SIIB Pune, SICSR Pune, SIMS Pune, SIBM Bangalore, SITM Pune — and select the programmes you wish to apply to | Check the eligibility and specialisation for each programme before selecting to avoid wasted fees |
| 4 | Pay the programme registration fee of INR 1,000 per programme via net banking, debit card, credit card, or UPI | Each programme requires a separate fee payment; there are no bundle discounts |
| 5 | Download and save the programme registration confirmation receipt for each programme registered | This confirmation is required for GE-PIWAT (Group Exercise, Personal Interaction and Written Ability Test) shortlisting by individual institutes |

SNAP 2026 Registration: Photo and Document Upload Specifications
During SNAP 2026 registration at snaptest.org, candidates must upload a scanned photograph and a scanned signature. Applications with images outside the accepted specifications are rejected at the verification stage. Use the exact specifications listed below:
| Document | Accepted Format | File Size | Specifications |
|---|---|---|---|
| Passport-size photograph | JPG / JPEG only | 50 KB to 100 KB | Recent colour photograph taken within the last 6 months; plain white or off-white background; face clearly visible and centred; no cap, sunglasses, or accessories covering facial features |
| Signature | JPG / JPEG only | 20 KB to 50 KB | Handwritten signature in black or blue ballpoint pen on plain white paper; scanned at 200 DPI; digital or typed signatures are not accepted |
If the photograph file exceeds 100 KB, use a free image compressor to reduce it before uploading. Candidates who have already uploaded incorrect images can log back into their SNAP 2026 account at snaptest.org and re-upload before November 25, 2026.

SNAP 2026 Registration: Complete Fee Structure for Test and Programme Applications
SNAP 2026 registration involves two separate fee payments, both made at snaptest.org. The test fee and the programme registration fee are both non-refundable. Here is the full fee breakdown:
| Fee Component | Amount (INR) | Paid At |
|---|---|---|
| SNAP Test Fee — per attempt | 2,550 | snaptest.org |
| SIU Programme Registration Fee — per programme | 1,000 | snaptest.org |
| Total: 1 attempt + 1 programme | 3,550 | snaptest.org |
| Total: 1 attempt + 3 programmes | 5,550 | snaptest.org |
| Total: 3 attempts + 3 programmes | 10,650 | snaptest.org |
Accepted payment modes at snaptest.org include net banking, debit card, credit card, and UPI. Candidates must save the payment receipt immediately after each successful transaction. If a payment fails but the amount is deducted from your account, wait 24 to 48 hours for an automatic reversal before re-attempting payment.

SNAP 2026 Registration: Three Test Dates in December and the Best Score Rule
Candidates completing SNAP 2026 registration at snaptest.org can choose to appear for one, two, or all three SNAP test dates. Each attempt requires a separate fee of INR 2,550. The SNAP 2026 test schedule is:
| SNAP Test | Scheduled Date | Mode |
|---|---|---|
| SNAP Test 1 | December 13, 2026 | Computer-based test (online) |
| SNAP Test 2 | December 19, 2026 | Computer-based test (online) |
| SNAP Test 3 | December 26, 2026 | Computer-based test (online) |
When a candidate appears in more than one SNAP test, SIU institutes use only the best score across all attempts for shortlisting — not the average or the most recent score. Registering for multiple dates is a strategic option for candidates who want a backup attempt in case of underperformance or technical issues on an earlier date. Test dates and exam centres are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be changed after the fee is paid.

SNAP 2026 Registration: Complete Online Application Process at snaptest.org
The SNAP 2026 online application at snaptest.org requires candidates to create an account, fill in their academic profile, upload documents, select test dates, and pay the fee. Here is the full process:

| 5 | Upload your recent passport-size photograph (JPG, 50–100 KB) and handwritten signature scan (JPG, 20–50 KB) | Preview both images after upload to confirm clarity before proceeding to the next step |

SNAP 2026 Registration: Eligibility Criteria Candidates Must Meet Before Applying
Before completing SNAP 2026 registration at snaptest.org, confirm that you meet SIU’s eligibility requirements. Applying without meeting these criteria results in disqualification even after fee payment.

| Minimum aggregate marks — General and OBC | 50% aggregate in graduation | Calculated across all semesters or years of the degree programme |
| Minimum aggregate marks — SC, ST, and PwD | 45% aggregate in graduation | Applicable to candidates from Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, and Persons with Disability categories |
| Final-year graduation students | Eligible to register and appear in SNAP 2026 | Admission remains provisional until the final marksheet is submitted showing the required aggregate percentage |

| Nationality | Indian nationals, NRI, OCI, and PIO candidates | Foreign nationals must apply through the SIU international admissions process, not through SNAP |
Eligibility requirements can vary between SIU institutes. Candidates applying to specialised programmes such as the MBA in Operations at SIOM Nashik should verify programme-specific eligibility on the individual institute page before paying the programme registration fee at snaptest.org.

SNAP 2026 Registration: New Four-Section Exam Pattern Including Ethics, Morality and Values
Candidates completing their SNAP 2026 registration at snaptest.org should note that the exam pattern has changed for 2026. A new section on Ethics, Morality and Values has been added, and the General English section has been reduced from 15 to 10 questions. The updated SNAP 2026 exam structure is:
| Section | Questions | Marks | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| General English: Reading Comprehension, Verbal Reasoning, Verbal Ability | 10 | 10 | Reduced from 15 questions in the 2025 pattern |
| Analytical and Logical Reasoning | 25 | 25 | Unchanged from the 2025 pattern |
| Quantitative, Data Interpretation and Data Sufficiency | 20 | 20 | Unchanged from the 2025 pattern |
| Ethics, Morality and Values | 5 | 5 | NEW section added in SNAP 2026 |
| Total | 60 | 60 | Duration: 60 minutes; no sectional time limits |
Marking scheme: Each correct answer carries +1 mark. Each wrong answer carries a penalty of −0.25 marks. Unanswered questions carry zero marks. There are no Special Questions (non-MCQ type) in SNAP 2026. Candidates who built their preparation around the older three-section format should revise their strategy to account for the new Ethics, Morality and Values section.

SNAP 2026 Registration: SNAP Test Registration Versus SIU Programme Registration Explained
A common misconception among first-time applicants is that completing the SNAP test registration at snaptest.org is sufficient for MBA admission consideration. The SNAP 2026 registration process has two distinct components, both of which must be completed before November 25, 2026:
| Component | Purpose | Fee (INR) | Where to Complete |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNAP Test Registration | Registers the candidate for the Symbiosis National Aptitude Test on their chosen date or dates in December 2026; a valid admit card is issued after payment | 2,550 per attempt | snaptest.org |
| SIU Programme Registration | Applies the candidate to a specific Symbiosis MBA programme such as SIBM Pune, SCMHRD Pune, or SIIB Pune; required to be shortlisted for the GE-PIWAT admission round | 1,000 per programme | snaptest.org |
Both registrations share the same login at snaptest.org. A candidate who completes only the SNAP test registration will receive a valid admit card and can sit the exam, but will not be considered for admission to any Symbiosis institute unless they have also paid the programme registration fee for at least one SIU MBA programme.
