To be or not to be ! - IBSAT & SNAP Date Clash

History repeats itself. While Ibsat is scheduled on 16th december morning , Snap follows heel right on the same date though in the afternoon. While IBSAT will be held from 9.30 am to 12 noon, SNAP will be conducted between 2 and 4 pm. Thats a gap of 2 hours.

Now this is bad news for the aspirants. They can either drop one of the exams or try and give both. The risk could be loosing on both the tests being in a no man's land.

Good news is IBSAT is the first one...so atleast the aspirants will have a ICFAI seat within reach, even if thy drop SNAP or give it but unable to crack it with thier tired minds.

Incidentally, this is not the first time the dates have coincided. Both institutions stake claim to being the first to have scheduled the exam for December 16.

HDFC-ICFAI Tieup
