SNAP Score vs Percentile 2024 - Minimum Marks to Qualify SNAP Exam

SIU has released SNAP Result 2024 on the official website - snaptest.org. SNAP Score vs Percentile defines the relation between the marks obtained by candidates in SNAP Exam and the respective percentile according to that score. The relationship between SNAP Cutoff Marks vs Percentile changes every year because the difficulty level of the SNAP Exam varies from year to year. The percentiles of 99, 98, 97, and 95 correspond to 41, 39, 36, and 33 points, respectively. SNAP score 2024 is the score obtained by any student taking the SNAP 2024 exam by calculating the number of correct and incorrect responses marked.

The SNAP exam scores of all candidates are combined to create a percentile list. A merit list is created based on the SNAP percentile to shortlist candidates for further selection rounds. Symbiosis International (Deemed University) published the SNAP Result on its official website on January 8, 2025.

  • Students can now check their sectional and overall scores and estimate their chances of getting MBA admission into the SIU college of their choice now that the results have been released.

What is SNAP Score?

The SNAP Score is the total raw score that students obtain in the Symbiosis National Aptitude Test (SNAP). The snap score is calculated based on the number of correct answers and incorrect answers marked by students in the snap question paper and the marking scheme of the exam.

Candidates can calculate their respective SNAP Scores using the marking scheme of SNAP 2024 Exam.

SNAP scores are computed using the exam's marking scheme. There is, however, no formula for calculating the SNAP percentile. It is determined by a number of factors, including the exam's difficulty level, the number of candidates taking the exam, and the previous year's cutoff. The SNAP 2024 exam for all three slots will be conducted on December 08, 15, and 21, respectively.

What is SNAP Percentile?

The SNAP Percentile is a relative measure of a candidate’s performance in the SNAP exam when compared to all the other test takers. It actually represents where the student stands in comparison to other candidates. For example if a candidate has secured SNAP 99 percentile score, it means that particular candidate has done better than 99% of the total test takers.

How is SNAP Score Different from SNAP Percentile?

The SNAP Score is the raw score students secure in SNAP Exam while SNAP Percentile is actually the relative performance of a particular candidate in comparison to the other test takers. 

Understanding the relationship between the SNAP 2024 score and the SNAP 2024 percentile appears not only confusing but also complex to MBA candidates. "What is the difference between the SNAP score and the percentile, and which is more important?" they frequently wonder. We have provided a detailed analysis of SNAP score vs SNAP percentile to help you understand both.

How to Calculate SNAP Score?

SNAP Score is calculated based on the marking scheme of SNAP 2024. According to the SNAP Marking Scheme, candidates are awarded marks for every correct answer and 0.25 marks are deducted for every incorrect response. The final SNAP Score is calculated using the below mentioned formula.

SNAP Score = No. of Correct Answers * 1 – No. of Incorrect Answers * 0.25

To determine the SNAP score, first total the number of correct responses. Then add up the total number of incorrect responses and multiply by 0.25 or divide by 4. Your SNAP score will be the result of subtracting the negative score from the positive score. Every candidate's SNAP score is reduced based on the total number of students who took the exam, the difficulty level, the availability of seats at SIU institutes, and other factors. The scaled score of a candidate is used for final selection.

SNAP 2024 Marking Scheme

In order to understand how SNAP Scores are allotted, we must understand the SNAP Marking Scheme. For every correct answer, students are awarded with +1 marks and for every incorrect answer, there will be a deduction of 0.25 marks.

SNAP Exam is conducted for a total of 60 marks.

How to Calculate SNAP Percentile?

Admissions in MBA programs at SIU are based on the percentile received by the candidate. In order to understand the relation between SNAP percentile vs marks and the percentile calculation in SNAP Exam, candidates must know the formula to it. It is given by:

  • {1-(Your Rank/ Total test takers)* }100

For Example, If a total of 50,000 students took the SNAP exam and you achieved a rank of 100, your SNAP percentile can be calculated using the following formula:

 Percentile = [1 - { 100/50000}] * 100 = 99.8 Percentile
