SNAP 2023 exam comprises the following events:
- SNAP entrance test
- Registration
- Group Exercise (GE)
- Personal Interaction (PI)
- Written Ability Test (WAT)
Once the candidate qualifies for the SNAP 2023 exam, s/he is called for the second stage (Stage-2) of the qualifying process ‘GE-PIWAT’ (Group Exercise, Personal Interaction, and Writing Ability Test).
SNAP exam’s participating colleges conduct the admission process separately for every program. Hence, candidates need to register themselves with the participating institutes separately.
STAGE-2 includes the following 3 steps:
Group Exercise (GE)
Candidates who clear the cut-off list will be called for the GE round. Further, they should check the respective institute’s website for dates and additional details on GE-PIWAT.
In this round candidates are divided into a group of 7-8, allotted a topic and they discuss about the same at an allotted time of 15-20 minutes. Here each candidate is on their communication skill, problem-solving ability as well as focusing potential.
Personal Interaction (PI)
Shortlisted candidates of the GE round are called for a personal interaction round.
Writing Ability Test (WAT)
Here the authorities give a topic to the candidate for essay writing which is a pen-paper-based test.
The test determines the candidate’s knowledge of grammar, vocabulary as well as writing skills.
Depending on the candidate’s percentage, they may get selected for more than one program. In that case, candidates need to participate in the GE-PIWAT separately for each program.
Based on the candidate’s performance in an entrance exam, group exercise, personal interaction, and WAT, the merit list is published by all the participating institutes.
Once these rounds are over, the counseling date will also be released by the SIU authorities.
