- If the same APT serves all the programs that you have selected, no additional APT is required.
For instance, all Engineering programs require SNUSAT + APT code “1-A”
- If any of your Program preferences are mapped to a different APT, you are required to take the additional 1 hour 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 Mathematics, you first need to appear for SNUSAT + APT code “1-A” for B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering. For B.Sc. (Research) Mathematics, you will have to register, schedule and give an additional APT code “3-C”.
- All the questions except the SNUSAT Essay and Critical Writing in APT will be Multiple Choice Type
- SNUSAT Essay and Critical writing sections will have to be typed on the computer, within the stipulated time
