Hi,

Taking the GMAT would not be necessary as your CAT score is fine and meets our requirements

We havent yet fixed the date of the next SPJAT

I have a score of 89.31% in CAT 2007. I am a B.Tech having 2 yrs of work exp in HCL.
10th - 80.6%, 12th - 68.8%, B.Tech - 70.92%. ECA are good.
Will that CAT score suffice for a call? or should i take GMAT so that my profile becomes strong?
Also, please let me know when is the SP Jain exam scheduled?

Thanks,
Priyanka

How do i fair..???

Hi,
I cannot give you specific reasons as to why you were not shortlisted - it could be any of the factors from acads ( ideally a first class ALL through incl ALL yrs of graduation), work ex, extra curiculars etc

Like ive mentioned before you need not take the GMAT as your CAT score is fine.

yes we do look at the profile of the candidate in relation to the stream applied for.

Thanks

Yes we do prefer candidates to have work ex although we are willing to consider freshers who are outstanding.

3. B.com 87.6% (university first rank and gold medalist).
4. CAIIB (passed both the parts in first attempt with very good marks).

Professional.

1. Worked with Tata Share Registry Ltd for a period of 6 months.
2. Working with Oriental Bank of Commerce(OBC) (a leading public sector bank) in the Junior Management scale, since July, 2004.

During my tenure at OBC i held various roles. Was called up by the management time and again to sort things whenever they went wrong. Learnt all the activities within a short period of time. Playe a key role in reconciling many accounts. My leadership skills ensured (contnues to ensure) seamless flow of activities.

My queries are as under.

1. I hav scored 83 % in CAT 2007. Is is a good enough to apply to SPJain Dubai, Dec intake?
