The final convert is based on your profile and your performance in both the steps of the admission process. -
The first round of shortlisting is done on the basis of the SNAP Test after which, if you qualify the cutoffs you will receive calls for the further processes. SNAP Test does not take into account your graduation scores.Although the passing marks of 55% are necessary.
In the further processes, no such discrimination and weightage is allotted to scores. The exact format will be communicated to you after the shortlisting is done post the results of SNAP Test 2016.
