SNAP 2026 Test Structure and Exam Pattern
The SNAP 2026 exam pattern has been updated with a new section designed to assess candidates' understanding of 'Ethics, Morality and Values'. The entire test is a Computer Based Test (CBT) with a duration of 60 minutes. It comprises 60 objective-type questions, each with four response options. Candidates have the flexibility to attempt the sections in any order they prefer.
| Section | Number of Questions | Marks per Correct Answer | Total Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| General English | 10 | 1 | 10 |
| Analytical & Logical Reasoning | 20 | 1 | 20 |
| Quantitative, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency | 20 | 1 | 20 |
| Ethics, Morality and Values | 10 | 1 | 10 |
| Total | 60 | - | 60 |
A significant aspect of the SNAP exam pattern is the negative marking scheme. Each incorrect answer carries a penalty of 25% negative marks. For Persons with Disabilities (PwD) candidates, a compensatory time of 20 minutes per hour is provided to ensure a fair assessment. To maintain fairness across different test dates, the question papers are normalised for difficulty levels, ensuring that no candidate gains an undue advantage.
