Written Ability Test (WAT), and the Personal Interview (PI). Unlike exams like CAT, XAT, or NMAT, there is no sectional cutoff for SNAP. Candidates only need to meet the overall SNAP Cutoff criteria.
Students must keep in mind, that meeting this cutoff does not guarantee admission to any of the SIU Participating Institutes, and only makes them eligible for the further rounds of selection. Those who do not meet this cutoff will not be able to participate in further rounds of selection.
