SNAP is just one week away and the section that is probably the most scoring one is also the most neglected one. Till a few years ago, GK in SNAP used to be weird and I mean really really weird. They used to ask questions like ‘How many hearts does an Octopus have?’. Thankfully, things have improved in the past couple of years. I have given the paper for SNAP 2016 below and that would help you understand the kind of questions that get asked.
a) 50+ Videos on Important Topics
b) Detailed Documents for Current Affairs and Static GK
c) Monthly Updates with sets of questions
d) 5 GK mocks for IIFT and 5 GK mocks for XAT
If you are a member of our online General Knowledge course, we would suggest that you focus on the following sections:
Section 2 – Factopedia: Video Tutorials on General Knowledge 2018
Section 4 – World This Month – GK 2018
Section 11 – Current Affairs – Important Presentations
Section 14 – Current Affairs – Monthly Updates
Section 16 / 17 – GK Mocks
To cover this, you would need approximately 10-12 hours. I hope you will be able to find that amount of time in the last week of your preparation.
If you are not a member of our online General Knowledge course, we have shared some blogposts in the recent past that would really help you prepare.
Mergers and Acquisitions
In this blog post we cover Mergers and Acquisition activity from this decade.
This list is focused more on Mergers from 2017 and 2016 because the chances of questions being asked on recent events are a lot higher.

Books and Authors
Questions on books and authors are very popular with entrance examinations. SNAP has had 2 questions almost every year based on books and authors. More often than not, the books about which questions get asked are related to business or biographical sketches of the famous businessmen.

Heads of Important Organizations
In this post we cover heads of important organizations of India and around the world. Questions on this topic have been asked quite frequently in the SNAP GK section. Typically, the questions are based on recent changes.

While there is no short cut to scoring more in an exam but what a lot of students do is to completely ignore the General Knowledge section in SNAP. Please do not do that. Most students study for anywhere from 6 months to 1 year to prepare for Quantitative Aptitude and Reading Comprehension, but they do not give even few hours to General Knowledge. Those are the students who miss out on some easy marks. I seriously hope that you are not one of those students. I seriously hope that you would put in the required hours to prepare for SNAP General Knowledge and ace that particular section.
