SNAP 2026 Registration Fee vs Programme Fee: What to Pay?

For SNAP 2026, candidates must pay ₹2,550 per SNAP test and an additional ₹1,000 for each SIU programme they want to apply for.

These are two separate payments. Paying the SNAP exam fee alone does not complete the application for an MBA programme. Government taxes, wherever applicable, will be charged additionally.

Candidates can appear for up to three SNAP tests. So, the SNAP registration fee can be ₹2,550, ₹5,100 or ₹7,650, depending on whether a candidate takes one, two or three tests.

The programme fee then depends on the number of programmes selected.

SNAP 2026 Registration Fee vs Programme Fee

The biggest point to understand is that SNAP test registration and programme registration are not the same thing.

The SNAP registration fee is paid for appearing in the SNAP Computer Based Test (CBT). It is charged separately for every test you choose. If you appear for all three SNAP tests, you have to pay ₹2,550 for each test.

The programme registration fee is paid when you select an MBA programme offered by an Institute of Symbiosis International (Deemed University). The charge is ₹1,000 for every programme selected.

For example, a candidate taking two SNAP tests and applying to three programmes would pay:

₹5,100 for SNAP tests + ₹3,000 for programmes = ₹8,100, before applicable government taxes.

How Much is SNAP Registration Fee 2026?

The SNAP 2026 registration fee is ₹2,550 per test, with government taxes added wherever applicable. The fee is non-refundable and non-transferable.

Candidates can choose to take one, two or all three SNAP tests. The three test dates are December 13, December 19 and December 26, 2026.

If a candidate takes more than one test, the higher score is considered for the final percentile calculation. Therefore, the total SNAP exam fee depends on the number of tests a candidate registers for.

The last date for SNAP 2026 registration and payment is November 25, 2026.

What is the SNAP Programme Registration Fee 2026?

The SNAP programme registration fee is ₹1,000 for each programme selected by a candidate, with applicable government taxes charged separately. This payment is different from the SNAP test fee. 

A candidate who wants to be considered for a particular SIU MBA programme must register for that programme and pay its programme registration fee.

For instance, if you select four programmes, the programme registration fee will be ₹4,000. Selecting another programme increases the fee by another ₹1,000.

The programme fee is also non-refundable and non-transferable.

SNAP 2026 Total Fee: What Will You Pay?

Your total SNAP application cost depends on two things: the number of SNAP tests and the number of programmes you select.

Use this simple calculation: Total fee = ₹2,550 × Number of SNAP tests + ₹1,000 × Number of programmes

For example:

• 1 test + 1 programme: ₹3,550
• 1 test + 3 programmes: ₹5,550
• 2 tests + 3 programmes: ₹8,100
• 3 tests + 3 programmes: ₹10,650
• 3 tests + 5 programmes: ₹12,650

These amounts exclude government taxes, where applicable.

Is Programme Fee Mandatory After SNAP Registration?

Yes, if you want to be considered for a particular programme. Paying only the SNAP registration fee does not make a candidate eligible for shortlisting for an SIU programme.

You must also select the desired programme and pay its ₹1,000 registration fee within the applicable deadline.

An important detail is that different programmes may have different programme registration closing dates.

Candidates should therefore check the concerned institute’s information before making the programme payment.

The programme fee can also remain payable through the SNAP website even after the SNAP test registration payment deadline, provided the respective programme’s own payment deadline has not passed.

SNAP 2026 Fee Payment: How to Pay?

SNAP test registration payment can be made through the available payment options, including BillDesk, Easebuzz and Demand Draft. For a Demand Draft, candidates need to prepare a DD of ₹2,550 per SNAP test in favour of “Symbiosis Test Secretariat”, payable at Pune, and follow the payment advice and submission process given on the SNAP portal.

For programme registration, the fee is ₹1,000 per programme, and payment is made through the prescribed mode. Demand Draft payment is also available for the programme fee, with a separate ₹1,000 DD required for each programme.

The SNAP 2026 registration and programme selection process is integrated on the same portal, so candidates can complete both parts through snaptest.org.
