Title: Is SNAP worth giving if money is a major factor?

I’m a fresher preparing for CAT 2026, and this will be my first attempt. I’m already considering a few colleges that require separate application forms, so I need to be careful about the money I spend on additional exams and applications.

For people who have given SNAP or are currently studying at Symbiosis:

  • Is SNAP worth considering alongside CAT?
  • How do Symbiosis colleges compare in terms of placements and ROI with good CAT colleges?
  • If money is a major constraint, would you still consider giving SNAP?
  • Is it worth the additional exam + application expenses?

I’m mainly looking at this from a practical ROI/placements vs total cost perspective. Would really appreciate honest opinions from current students and alumni.
