SNAP 2026 Application Fee Overview
SNAP 2026 registration involves two distinct payments. The first is the SNAP test fee paid at snaptest.org to register for the exam itself. The second is a programme registration fee paid separately to each Symbiosis institute you choose to apply to. Both payments are mandatory and non-refundable. Based on SNAP 2025 trends, the complete expected fee structure is as follows:
| Fee Component | Expected Amount | Paid To |
|---|---|---|
| SNAP 2026 Test Registration Fee | Rs. 1,950 | Symbiosis International University via snaptest.org |
| Programme Registration Fee (per institute) | Rs. 1,000 | Individual Symbiosis institute portal |
| Total (SNAP test + 1 programme) | Rs. 2,950 | — |
| Total (SNAP test + 2 programmes) | Rs. 3,950 | — |
| Total (SNAP test + 3 programmes) | Rs. 4,950 | — |
Students applying to multiple Symbiosis institutes must pay Rs. 1,000 for each programme separately. There is no bundled or discounted package for applying to multiple institutes simultaneously.
Category-Wise Fee: Is There a Concession?
SNAP 2026 does not offer any category-wise fee concession or waiver. Unlike centrally-conducted exams such as CMAT or government-run tests that reduce fees for reserved category students, SNAP is a private university exam. All students — regardless of caste certificate or differently-abled status — pay the same application fee.
| Category | SNAP Test Fee (Expected) | Programme Fee per Institute (Expected) |
|---|---|---|
| General / Open | Rs. 1,950 | Rs. 1,000 |
| OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) | Rs. 1,950 | Rs. 1,000 |
| SC | Rs. 1,950 | Rs. 1,000 |
| ST | Rs. 1,950 | Rs. 1,000 |
| EWS | Rs. 1,950 | Rs. 1,000 |
| PwD (Differently Abled) | Rs. 1,950 | Rs. 1,000 |
Fee figures are based on SNAP 2025 trends. Students from all categories should budget the full Rs. 1,950 for test registration and plan for additional programme fees accordingly.
SNAP 2026 Programme Registration Fee
After paying the SNAP test fee, you must separately register for each MBA or management programme at Symbiosis institutes of your choice. Each programme registration costs Rs. 1,000 (expected) and is paid directly through that institute’s portal or the integrated payment flow on the SNAP website.
Popular Symbiosis institutes accepting SNAP 2026 scores include SIBM Pune, SCMHRD Pune, SIIB Pune, SIBM Bengaluru, SIBM Hyderabad, SCIT Pune, and SITM Pune among others. If you apply to five or more Symbiosis institutes, your total programme registration fee alone reaches Rs. 5,000 or more, over and above the SNAP test fee. Plan your institute shortlist before the application deadline to manage costs effectively.
