saikumar: Maximise attempts; Dont get stuck in any Qs; Give Reasoning more time as it has the maximum weightage

jo: hi this is regarding the gk section for snap...wats d approx no of correct attempts required..approx % of qns will be sufficient..
kranthi: depends on difficulty level.aim at above 25 percent in an average case.

sri: hi sirs,please ans my ques Analytical Reasoning - 21.00 Quantitative Ability -35.00 English Comprehension -26.00 Issues of Social Concern -8.00 Total 90.00 Overall Percentile 73.57 these are my scores in irma ....i came to know as i have applied for cpdm also... can i get a call from ximb(rm)

raj: it was heard that IIMA and IIMB were against a Paper Pencil retest whereas the other IIMS insisted on having a total retest..so have the other IIMs backed out on their demands??Does TIME feel that the IIMs have gone about the right way??
saikumar: The inside story will never be known. My personal opinion is that the IIMs have got it wrong big time and this will reflect in the quality of candidates they will eventually get for the GDPI stage.

anku: irma result was out in the morning but now showing nothing? waz goin on?
saikumar: Wait for some time they will declare the result.

trouble: sir exp of teaching in private coaching institute would b counted as exp. ?

kranthi: no harm in applying.u can weigh options after getting selected.

snappyy: sir wat wud b d ideal number of questions 2 b attempted in each section of SNAP 2 get through institutes like SIBM pune n bangalore???
gautam: Hey Snappy, Like we have been saying it is difficult to comment on that with a high degree of certainty before the exam. It depends on the difficulty level. You need to focus on the paper and ensure that you do ur best.

afeef: Sir is there any chance in hell that the IIMs will review their decision not to conduct a retest? And how do you think the IIMs will reconcile the unfair extra 45 days or so preparation time for those students who had problems the first time?
gautam: Hey Afeef, Let's look at SNAP here. While I understand your angst there is really no point in thinking about things we cannot control. If you are taking any other exams it would be better to concentrate on them rather than lose sleep over what the IIMs might or might not do.

anu1902: I AM NOT WORKING NOW SO WILL DAT BE A PROBLEM???
gautam: Not really.

jk: sir,how good is great lakes?their ranking?

tithi: sir wich is better? scit or sitm?

anupama: Sir.. I,ve been asking this in the last two chats too..Sorry to ask this again and deviate the topic.. Whats the cut off required in JMET for getting a call from IISc..
saikumar: As far as I know IISc has discontinued its course. When it did have its course it used to look for a good profile which meant that the last ranks that got calls went upto 800-900

sri: wat is the cat score for great lakes,chennai
kranthi: over 90 percentile.

xxx: Sir ,i I hav 2yrs job exp is sales , So for which colg shd i apply for symbosis?..My last aim snap score is 65.Plz do reply...

afeef: For Saikumar sir if you can answer please: How do you think the IIMs will reconcile the unfair extra 45 days or so preparation time for those students who had problems the first time?
saikumar: No way they can do it. That is why it is interesting to see what story they are going to come up with to explain this difference.

mytimeisnow: I heard that scmhrd gives great bit of weightage for profile,Is it true.?? I have 80s in acads,No awards or any such thing..no extra curricurars, can I apply and have a good chance of getting into it if i reach the gdpi stage.(assuming i do well in gd and pi)...plz answer I am rwally intersted in HR
saikumar: It is TRUE. Moreover SCMHRD offers all specialisations and not just HR. If you do well in the written test then nothing else will matter. Focus on SNAP.

ash: SIR HOW IS THE COLLEGE INDIAN INSTITUE OF FOREST MANAGEMENT (BHOPAL)?
saikumar: Good but it is a sectoral institute

sam: sir i have heard that there are no sectional cutoffs fr schmrd siib.is it true?
kranthi: unlikely to be true.

vivek: sir please give me some information on sicsr i,cut off average pk etc
saikumar: SICSR cutoff would depend on the difficulty level of SNAP this year. Last year it was around 50-55 marks

mytimeisnow: does insts like sitm scit sihs see sectional cutoffs???
saikumar: They have sectionals though it is a much lower level.

nimmy: hello sir, sud i apply 4 sims or not,datz gud or not?

cracksnap: saikumar: It is TRUE. Moreover SCMHRD offers all specialisations and not just HR. If you do well in the written test then nothing else will matter. Focus on SNAP. Are other programs as good as HR?
gautam: Yes they are. Moreover if you are a budding entrepreneur then you will find yourself in an environment that fosters the same. Don't worry about the level of the streams other than HR.

eagleeyesn: my academics are good with 2 years work experience.....what should be the score to get in to SCMHRD.......?
saikumar: That would depend on the difficulty level of SNAP this year. last year a score of around 70 was good enough

eagleeyesn: still waiting for ur reply sir.....I have posted 2 questions .......and waiting fr the answers............
saikumar: Thanks for waiting. We will answer the Qs as soon as we locate it. Huge inventory of Qs (mostly repeated) and hence it is taking time.

nick: Sorry for repeating my Q but I'm running out of time, Can you PLEASE suggest Business schools which take SNAP score and have a management course with scope of exposure to as many specializations as possible?
saikumar: All General Mgmt programs of any Non-Sectoral institute will give you the scope to do as many subject s as possible in different specialisations.

swati: Sir, I am in a dilemma.. whether I should apply to SIBM.I'm not satisfied with my prep. My 10th -77.33,12th-80.6,& here's the B.Tech -67.08

nimmy: n sir if i score WELL in SNAP i can apply 2 SIBM pune n SCMHRD???????????? n i heard that symbis are on donation only
gautam: Hi Nimmy, I don't think that it the right generalization that Symbi is only on donations. Don't listen to all the rumours. Focus your attention on SNAP.

sam: sir, how abt simc ??? i'm really intrested in creative field. is the institute good enough to make my degree an impact after finishing the course ???
gautam: SIMC is decent. Whether you make an impact or not will also depend on how well you do in the programme. Having said that, I have interacted with a few students who are currently in SIMC and they are quite happy with what they get to do there.

gautam: Have you had a look at the ppts on the homepage? As well as the magazines that we have given you? If you have done all that my suggestion is that you could just go thru them once again and/or look at the archives of some general newspapers.

vivek: sir what about icfai hydrebad?
gautam: What about it? Could you be a bit more specific.

snappyy: sir,r v allowed 2 keep d SNAP QUESTION PAPER with us or supposed 2 return them???
saikumar: generally they give out the paper

vivek: sai sir i am running out of time please answer me what about icfai hydrrebad

gk???: as i hv joned only time test series, i don't hv time magazines. pls name the magazines those i can buy as i cann't hv time gk material now.
gautam: CSR would be a good place to get GK material. Archives of newspapers in their online avatar will also help. But you need to skim the articles in them as you do not have much time.

gautam: Jo, You could try once more a bit later. Maybe the site is not able to handle the traffic. The questions are just to give you an indication of the type of questions that have appeared in the past. So while it is going to help please to an extent, do not expect it to do more than that.

ram: so is it better to answer in q paper and mark all answer at the last to OMR ?wats ur opinion??
gautam: You mean mark the answers in the last 10 min or something like that? If I have understood it right then I suggest that is not the best of things to do. Imagine a situation where you have lost track of time and are not able to mark even the ones that you have answered. You are not going to feel too great about it.

madhu: sir cat cutoff for gim?? and will they consider the better of cat and xat if we are writing both or shud we strictly apply with one score??

007: sir/maam, please answer my questions. posted them a long time back 1)a candidate with above 85 in last year's snap but no work ex has a chance of getting into SIBM or SCMHRD ? 2) How much are the sectional cutoffs usually ? 3) If any questions in the paper contain mistakes (eg:the Rita/Geeta one in JMET or the gaining-losing energy one in JMET) are the questions scrapped ?
saikumar: 1) SIBM 2) Depends on the difficulty level of the section and the institute in Qs 3) CAT scraps them and some other instis add the marks to all candidates. It is institute specific.

sg09: sir, wot is d repo of loyala insti?
