REMOTELY PROCTORED SNUSAT & APT 2022

SNUSAT – Measure of proficiency in language, ability to apply mind to simple problems, data interpretation, logical and abstract reasoning. APT – Subject knowledge required for specific programs.

As pioneers in India’s higher education scenario, we are among the first and very few to offer a remotely proctored admissions test to our aspirants.

The 3 hours standardized assessment consists of::

1. SNU Scholastic Aptitude Test (SNUSAT) for 2 hours (Same for all Programs)

2. Academic Proficiency Test (APT) for 1 hour (Specific to Programs applied for)

*This program would be jointly offered by School of Humanities & Social Sciences & School of Management & Entrepreneurship

** Any one of the optional APT

If the same APT serves all the Programs that you have selected, no additional APT is required. For instance, all Engineering Programs require “Physics+ Maths”. This combination also makes you eligible for B.Sc (R) in Physics and B.Sc (R) in Mathematics.

If any of your Program preferences are mapped to a different APT, you are required to take the additional 30 min APT(s). However, there is no need to repeat SNUSAT.
