Greetings! Here's a detailed response to your query

When dealing with different entrance exams like the CAT and SNAP, it's crucial to understand that each exam has its own independent application process. Therefore, the category you select for one exam doesn't automatically carry over to another.

The CAT (Common Admission Test) and SNAP (Symbiosis National Aptitude Test) are conducted by separate bodies. This means their application forms and data are handled independently. Therefore, you have the option to choose a different category in your SNAP application, even if you selected "General" in your CAT application.

During the SNAP application process, you'll be asked to provide your category details. At this point, you can accurately indicate your OBC status, provided you have the necessary valid documentation. It's very important to provide correct information, and to have the appropriate documents to back up the category you select .It is very important to remember that Once the SNAP application is submitted, changes to category information are generally not allowed.

If you choose to apply under the OBC category in SNAP, ensure you possess a valid OBC Non-Creamy Layer certificate as per the government's prescribed format. This certificate is essential for availing any category-based benefits during the admission process.

In essence, you have the flexibility to select a different category for the SNAP exam compared to your CAT application. However, prioritize accuracy and ensure you have the required documentation to support your chosen category.

I hope this helps.
