SNAP Test is an objective test. Each question has four responses. The candidate should choose an appropriate response.
Each wrong answer attracts 25% negative marks.
Utmost care is taken to prepare an error free question paper. However, if an error is detected in the question paper, the Scrutiny Committee shall take an appropriate decision after the tests, which shall be final.
A candidate can appear for upto three tests for SNAP. If a candidate appears for more than one test, the higher score will be considered for the final percentile calculation and there will be no normalization. A rigorous process that has been statistically tested will be administered to ensure that unique types of questions are framed under a specific topic across the question papers. Normal spread will ensure that there is no unfair advantage to candidates who opt for any specific test / multiple tests. This will ensure normalisation of the spread of questions across sections. Furthermore, the question papers will be normalised for the level of difficulty across all three tests. No correspondence regarding this will be entertained.
Any malpractice / use of unfair means will lead to your disqualification from the admission process of SIU. Instances of any incorrect information or process violation detected at any stage of the Admission process will lead to immediate disqualification of the candidate from the Admission process and he/she will not be allowed to appear for SNAP in the future. If such instances go undetected during the current Admission process but are detected in subsequent years, such disqualification will take place with retrospective effect.
