What to expect
- Home-proctored online test, so you need a working webcam and quiet room.
- 40 questions in 90 minutes for SNUSAT and 40 in 60 minutes for APT, 150 minutes together for B.Tech.
- The test measures aptitude and conceptual understanding rather than recall of a long syllabus.
- Marking: SNU's pages do not state a negative marking rule; one third-party site says there is none. Check the dashboard instructions.
- Multiple attempts are possible across cycles; check the rules on how scores from different attempts are used.
