If they meet the requirements, a B.Tech. in Mechatronics student may take the IIT JAM in Physics for admission to the IIT for M.Sc. in Physics. Physics must be studied for at least two years/four semesters and mathematics must be studied for at least one year/two semesters in order to qualify for the IIT JAM Physics for B.Sc./B.S. students. According to the rules, BTech graduates who have met the eligibility requirements for Physics for at least two years/four semesters are eligible to take the JAM Maths and Physics exam. It is crucial to keep in mind that, in accordance with IITs, all engineers are no longer required to have completed two years and four semesters of physics in order to be admitted to the MSc Physics programme. Only MSc Physics is free from this requirement; no other courses are included. Therefore, it is recommended to check the eligibility criteria of the specific IIT and course before applying.

Until 2019, Quantitative, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency section of SNAP exam used to have maximum questions (40), but from SNAP 2020, the Analytical and Logical Reasoning section has most number of questions (25). Now, Quantitative, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency section has only 20 questions. The main topics from which questions are asked in this section are, Family Tree/Blood Relations, Seating Arrangement, Clocks & Calendars, Critical Reasoning, Coding/Decoding, Direction Sense, Syllogisms, Visual Reasoning, Analogy & Series, Mathematical Reasoning, Meaningful Word/Matrix and Verbal & Miscellaneous Reasoning. To prepare for this section of SNAP, candidates must practice a lot of sample questions of all difficulty levels –easy, medium and tough. There are no formulae or concepts on Logical Reasoning so the preparation is majorly dependent on practice.

The official answer key of SNAP is not released. It used to be released till 2019, but since 2020, when the exam was revised to three session mode, the examination body does not release the official SNAP answer key. Since, the format of the exam now is such that it gives the candidate a chance to improve their score, only the scorecards are released finally.

Candidates can however get the unofficial and memory based answer keys from MBA preparation coaching institutes and study groups. These memory based SNAP answer keys help candidates in assessing their performance by providing them possible answers to questions by which they can calculate the number of correct and incorrect attempts.

The difficulty level of the Symbiosis National Aptitude Test (SNAP) question paper is easy and this computer-based test is one of the most student-friendly test structures. But to answer your questions which section is the toughest in the SNAP exam among General English (GE), Quantitative Aptitude, Data Interpretation and Data Sufficiency (QA, DI-DS) and Analytical & Logical Reasoning (A-LR) then it has to be the Analytical & Logical Reasoning as it has more weightage.

In the SNAP 2023 the second section was tougher than the rest of the two. 

Take a look at the detailed exam pattern of the SNAP exam:

We hope this was helpful and prepared in a way that you can answer all three sections easily and effortlessly.

Thank you.

There is no definite number of mock test that the candidate should practice. It totally depends on the candidate’s ability and strength viz a viz the SNAP syllabus. Some candidates need less number of SNAP mock tests to reach the optimum level of preparation whereas some candidates need more number of SNAP mock tests to reach the optimum level.

At the same time, it is recommended that on an average, candidates should practice at least 25-30 SNAP mock tests to perform well in the exam. Candidates should also analyse each and every mock test performance to know their progress. With every consecutive mock test, they should be able to score higher than previous mock test. Every candidate must decide upon the number and quality of mock tests based on their preparation level. They neither should solve less mock tests nor over-do it.
