The Symbiosis International (Deemed) University's test conducting committee prescribes the SNAP exam pattern (SIU). The SNAP pattern saw significant adjustments last year, including a drop in exam duration and overall number of questions. Traditionally, the SNAP exam was only given once a year, but in 2020 and 2021, it was given three times, with candidates getting two chances each time. SNAP 2022 will again be held across three days, with candidates getting two chances.
The SNAP exam schedule and test structure have remained same for this year. Exam parameters such as section-by-section weighting, marking scheme, and sectional time limit are included in the SNAP 2022 exam pattern.
The SNAP exam paper is divided into two categories and has four sections.
Normal questions will be objective in character, such as multiple-choice questions (MCQs). Each question will have four possible solutions, from which one must be chosen that appears to be the most appropriate.
Fill-in-the-blank questions will be included in the special questions, and answers will be typed using a virtual keyboard. For instance, if the inquiry is "What is Australia's capital?" Using a virtual keyboard, a candidate must type the answer as CANBERRA.
The table below lists the SNAP paper pattern 2022.
| Number of Sections | 4 |
| Marks For Each Correct Answer | General English, Quantitative Ability, DI & DS and General Awareness, Analytical and logical reasoning: 1 mark each question |
| Negative Marking | 1/4th (25%) of marks allotted to question |
| Duration | 1 hour (60 minutes) |
| Number of Questions | 60 questions |
| Total Marks | 60 marks |
