he Symbiosis National Aptitude Test (SNAP) exam conducted on T16th Dec 2018 in the computer- based-test format went glitch-free. The overall difficulty level of the exam was lower as compared to last year’s. Since there were no sectional cut-offs, it made the job of the students a lot easier — they could focus on maximising their overall score instead of perforce trying to improve their sectional performances in tougher sections.
