Do we need to apply separately for symbiosis?

Yes, after registering for the SNAP Exam 2023 , it is essential to apply separately for each Symbiosis Institute/program you wish to pursue. This is because each institute offers distinct courses and specializations, and they have varying admission criteria and cut-off scores.

If someone has a supplementary in college exams due to not being able to give an exam and will not need to give the exam again; Does that impact the chances of getting a call from an IIM?

Having a supplementary does not effect the chances of you getting a call. But, you do need to ensure that you clear the exam by the time you have to join them in July next year.

If you still have a back at that time, then your admission will be cancelled.

Which attempt of MICAT should I write? What's the difference between the two attempts?

MICAT requires you to have a valid CAT/ XAT/ GMAT score. The first attempt is for the ones who already have such score from the last cycle. If you don't already have that score, you cannot write MICAT 1 and can only attempt MICAT 2.

However, if you write both MICAT 1 and MICAT 2 exam, the higher of your two scores will be taken into account for the final decision. So even if you fail to pass MICAT 1, you can still be eligible to appear for MICAT 2 exam.

Should I opt for NMAT at centre or at home?

I would always suggest taking NMAT at Centre. The problem with test taking at home is that it is never quiet nor completely alone at home. Any disturbance would be chance for test convenor to cancel the test and you would have to start the process from scratch.

Taking test at centre is cumbersome but would help you avoid all the hassle!

How many colleges should I fill for SNAP? What all colleges should I fill?

Since you need to pay Rs. 1000 for each college that you apply to, and there are many niche colleges, it will become expensive real fast.

My suggestion - Pick at max 5 colleges in the following order:

1. SIBM Pune
2. SCMHRD Pune
3. SIIB Pune
4. SIOM Nashik
5. SIMS, Pune

You may feel that this is a make or break time, and you are right to an extent, but not in the terms that you think. Yes, it is the final three weeks before the CAT exam. Yes, this period can make a substantial difference in your performance.

But NO, this exam and these three weeks don't decide you worth. YOU DO!

Instead of ruminating on the past, focus on approached to optimally utilize this crucial time.

I will graduate in 2024. I am planning to write all the MBA entrance exams for this year. Should I sit in the Final Placements or not?

I always suggest everyone to take a placement if they are getting from the college. And apply for a higher studies simultaneously

The decision to join would be in April - May 2024. At that time you can decided whether you want to join or not. But it doesn't harm knowing you have options to choose from!

Can we take our pencils or one coloured pen (for ease of writing) to exam? What will be the size of though notebook that they will provide? Can I ask for more than one notebook?

Nopes. And nopes.

They will provide one A5 size notepad containing 16 sheets. You can ask but they don't give any more to you. They clearly mention this at the beginning that no more though work space would be provided.

You cannot carry any stationery item - pen, pencil scale etc - to the centre. They will provide one pen at the beginning which would have to be returned at the end of the test. You will also return the notepad to the invigilator and your ID and name will be written at the front page

Whatever work needs to be done, needs to be managed only in that space.

I have my centre 100 / 120 / 150 / 200 km away. Can I get it changed?

No you can not get it changed. Regard of slot, better hai reach a day early, book any nearby hotel and be in a calm state on that day.

#MBA #catmba2023 #AdmitCards

Is it true that Slot 1/ 2 / 3 is Difficult / Easy? Which slot is difficult? Which slot is easier to score?

1) The question itself is moot as you have been allotted a slot and you are going to have to deal with it. Whether you have to wake up at 5 AM or be stressed till evening is ALL immaterial

2) There maybe changes in the difficulty levels across the slots and it might vary between the sections as well. But that's something which is really out of our control and definitely not something we can predict

3) If all slots were of the same difficulty level, some slots would have an unfair advantage because they would get to work with some feedback as well as extra time to prepare

4) And lastly, a little bit of faith. Every year the exam is conducted for More than 2 lakh students and it would do us well to assume that the CAT convenors know their testing approaches.
