It is important to note that your SNAP scorecard is short yet important. The most common fields are:
- Candidate details: name, SNAP ID, registration number.
- Sectional marks that are normalized or raw markings for the sections (Quantitative ), Verbal/Logical and Data Interpretation & Reasoning — formats may differ by year).
- Total (scaled) score: SNAP uses scaling/normalization because the test may have multiple slots; the scaled score is what matters.
- Percentile: the rank of your position expressed in percentiles. This is the primary amount to consider when applying to Symbiosis institutes.
- Qualifying status/qualifying for the next round: Occasionally, the scorecard informs you if you’ve met the an eligibility requirement for forms for PI — if not you should check the form for PI.
Save the PDF file and should institutes request it upload or send the scorecard as part of your personal interaction (PI) application process.
Expected Cut-off to SIBM Pune and other top Symbiosis institutes
Cut-offs differ each year based on the level of difficulty and the number of test-takers and intake at the institute. Based on updates from live and trackers from experts at the result time, here are the expected percentiles as well as approximate comparable SNAP grades to 2025 (these are estimates, not estimates based on live data — take these as guidelines).
Very high / top cutting-offs (98-99 percentile)
- SIBM Pune: ~98-99+ percentile (historically the most high). This is typically 41-44+ marks that are not part of the maximum scaled (actual marking to percentile mapping is dependent the normalization).
The highest cut-offs (96-98 percentile)
- SCMHRD Pune (if accepting SNAP in the calendar year), SIBM Bangalore (SIBM-B) generally about 96-98 percentile.
Mid-high cut-offs (90-96 percentile)
- SIIB, SIBM Hyderabad (if applicable), SITM, etc. Competitive, but generally less that SIBM Pune — around 90-96 percentile.
Mid/safe options (75-90 percentile)
- Institutes such as SIMS, SIHS, SLS and other under Symbiosis could have cut-offs that fall within the 75-90 percentile range based on the type of program and category.
Categories vary: cut-offs will be lower in OBC/SC/ST/PwD classes compared to general. Expect 5-15 percentile variances based on the institute and seat mix.
Note That percentiles are the most important measure to shortlist candidates. Colleges publish shortlists (names or lists of candidates) or invite applicants to submit a PI/WAT application in case you meet their internal criteria.
Institute-wise Shortlisting patterns: likely (quick guide)
- SIBM Pune Shortlists: Top 1 to 2 percentage (98plus percentile). Expect a highly competitive PI shortlist and a solid WAT/PI process.
- SIBM Bangalore / SCMHRD Shortlist: top ~2-4% (96-98 percentile).
- SIIB, SITM, SIMS, SIHS Shortlist: wider band; some programs accept applicants in the 80-95 percentile, based on the number of seats.
They are constantly changing; make sure to check the institute’s websites and PI announcements for forms after results are announced. Institutes usually open their PI application/shortlist links within days of the SNAP result.

How do institutions convert SNAP percentiles to selection weights
Symbiosis institutes don’t use SNAP percentile as their sole factor. The majority of institutes employ the composite weightage which combines:
- SNAP score/percentile (major weight)
- Academic profile (10-20 percent)
- Experience from work (if it exists — 5-10 percent)
- WAT (Written Ability Test) performance
- PI (Personal Interaction/Interview) performance
Even if cut-offs are high, a solid WAT/PI record and academic track can significantly influence the your final choice. This is why getting ready for PI/WAT following SNAP results is vital.
If you didn’t make it to the cut off: alternative plans
- You can apply to different Symbiosis institutions or to private schools accepting SNAP and have cut-offs lower. A lot of Symbiosis schools (SIMS, SIIB, SIHS) have good programs that come with cut-offs slightly lower.
- Take a second look at retaking the test: If you’re in the early stages of you MBA journey and you’re able to put it off to take the next SNAP/CAT/XAT session by focusing your study strategy.
- Look at non-SNAP MBA options: many reputable colleges accept CAT/XAT/MAT/CMAT–match your profile to the entrance exam that suits your timeline.
- Part-time or executive programs: If you’ve worked before there can be Executive MBA or part-time programs that place a high value on experience.
- Internships and skill upgrades Short certifications such as internships, projects, or courses could help you build your profile to be ready for next year’s.
Practical suggestions for PI and WAT
- WAT: You can practice structuring your essays Introduction (1-2 lines) 2 to 3 body points using examples, as well as a brief conclusion. You should time yourself (15-20 to 20 minutes).
- PI Preparation: “Tell me about yourself”, 2-3 accomplishments or failures, 1-2 lessons learned and why MBA and why this school and career goals (short and long term). Utilize the STAR method to answer behavioral questions.
- Current Affairs: Read crisp daily current-affairs summaries; expect 2-3 questions on economy/business/events.
- Mock Interviews with PIs :Do 3-4 mock interviews with mentors or peers Record and modify.
- Documents and Attire: Formal dress, crisp copies of documents and a paper copy of the most recent CV.
These steps usually can make a difference when the margins of percentiles are not as wide.
The most common errors to be avoided now
- Refrain from filling out forms for PI after shortlisting; ignoring deadlines can result in missed opportunities.
- In disregarding the institute’s instructions Every school has their own WAT/PI timetable and checklist for documentation.
- Dependence too much on SNAP percentiles alone the interview’s performance is important significantly.
- Make decisions that are triggered by panic: review alternatives calmly (waitlists or second options or repeats).
