SIBM Nagpur Admission Process

SIBM Nagpur admits MBA and MBA FABM students through SNAP-based merit. CAT, MAT, XAT, and other management entrance exams are not used for selection. The institute does not offer admission through management quota or centralised state counselling. Seats are filled through SNAP scores and the SIBM Nagpur GE-PI process.

MBA and MBA FABM Admission

• Eligibility: Applicants need a bachelor’s degree from a recognised university with at least 50% aggregate. Final-year students can also apply.
• Step 1: Fill the SNAP 2026 form at snaptest.org and choose SIBM Nagpur as a preferred institute during registration. SNAP permits three attempts, and the best score is considered for shortlisting.
• Step 2: Candidates shortlisted through SNAP appear for Group Exercise (GE) and Personal Interaction (PI) rounds at the SIBM Nagpur campus.
• Step 3: The final score is prepared out of 100 marks: SNAP score 50 marks, GE 10 marks, and PI 40 marks.
• Step 4: The merit list and seat confirmation details are released at sibmnagpur.edu.in.

For the 2026-28 batch, the General category SNAP cutoff at SIBM Nagpur was 55 to 60 SNAP marks. Since GE-PI carries 50 marks out of 100, performance in communication, reasoning, and personal interaction matters strongly after the written test. Nagpur domicile applicants who clear the SNAP cutoff can claim the lower academic fee structure.

Executive MBA (EMBA) Admission

• The EMBA is meant for working professionals. SNAP is not needed. Applicants can apply directly through sibmnagpur.edu.in as per the active intake schedule.
• The weekend format is suitable for candidates who want to continue working while studying.
