The SNAP 2025 has been successfully conducted in 3 test slots, with each test following the same pattern of 60 MCQs in 60 minutes.

Based on the expert's analysis (Unacademy) and initial feedback from the candidates, SNAP 2025 was easy to moderate overall, where Slot 1 was the easiest, Slot 2 was more time-consuming, and Slot 3 was the longest and toughest, especially in Quantitative Aptitude.

  • Quantitative Aptitude (QA): Lengthy and time-consuming, especially in Slot 3, with 5–6 tricky PNC & Probability questions, fewer Arithmetic, and no Geometry.
  • Logical Reasoning (LR): Easy to moderate, with critical reasoning questions being largely straightforward and scoring.
  • Verbal Ability & RC (VRC): Moderate difficulty, vocabulary-based, and similar in level to Slot 2.

Overall, 40–45 attempts with good accuracy put students in a strong position, while 46–47 marks can get you around the 99th percentile, and a 40+ score is likely safe for SIBM Pune and SCMHRD.

As per an expert on Reddit- Slot 1: Moderate diff, 60-min sprint. Toppers targeting 40-45 att. English easiest (11-13), LR scoring (16-18), Quant tricky (12-14). Vs. '24: Similar, but DI upped. My prediction: SIBM cutoff 41 raw.”
