SNUSAT and APT – A combined three hour test to be administered in more than 100 Pearson VUE test centers across India helping every aspirant to participate in the process.
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)
** 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. For instance, when Program preference 1 is B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering and Program preference 2 is B.Sc.
(Research) in Biotechnology, you first need to appear for SNUSAT + APTs “Physics+ Maths”. For B.Sc.(Research) in Biotechnology, you will
have to give an additional APT of “Biology”.
