How SIBM Bengaluru MBA Selection Works
For the 2027-29 batch, the official final-merit structure assigns 50 marks to SNAP score out of 60, 10 marks to Group Exercise and 40 marks to Personal Interaction. The published structure makes clear that SNAP is the first filter, not the entire final-selection score.
Is there an official SNAP percentile cutoff?
The current official MBA page does not state a fixed SNAP percentile cutoff. Therefore, this page does not present an external coaching-site percentile as an official SIBM Bengaluru cutoff. Applicants should distinguish the institute's shortlisting practice from unofficial “expected cutoff” estimates.
How to apply
Applicants first register and pay for SNAP. They then register separately for the SIBM Bengaluru MBA programme and pay the institute application fee. The current official page lists ₹2,550 per SNAP test and ₹1,000 for the SIBM-B MBA programme.
