We expect learners to hold full-time employment throughout the program. As members of a professional learning community, learners bring real-world experience and can immediately apply academic concepts gained through assignments/projects in their workplaces. However, the Admissions Committee is willing to review and consider applicants who currently do not hold full-time positions.

The program is open to applicants from all nations.

The batch size for our programs is specifically limited due to various reasons, regulatory requirements; maximising learner experience and interaction with SME/Facilitators, and other operational reasons. Due to this limitation, often seats for a program date get filled much earlier than the last date. – So, it's important to enrol early and to pay in full immediately to guarantee your seat in the program. In case seats are not available for a particular batch then, you can be placed on a waitlist for that iteration/program date. If a program seat becomes available (e.g. if another participant cancels, transfers to a different date, etc), wait-listed individuals will be contacted on a first-come, first-served basis. You can take early admission to the next drive to avoid such a situation.

To transfer or deferral to a different start date, an enrolled participant can submit a written request to the email: learnersupport@snatika.com. Transfer to the immediate next program start date is allowed free of cost only once. Any further transfer incurs batch transfer charges. Kindly check our terms & conditions section for the updated current charges.
