Ask SP Jain Dubai & Singapore: Official Admission Query Thread

Tumtum · 10:20 AM

Hello Ms Bharucha.

My profile is as follows.

Academics: B.Com (Hons) II Class, MS (Finance) from ICFAI. Currently pursuing Financial Risk Manager (FRM) Certification from Global Association of Risk Professionals, USA.

GMAT: 680

Work Experience: 3 years in Investment Banking and Research (1 year with an Independent Research Company and other 2 years in a globally renowned Investment Bank). Got a promotion in my current company once. I plan to apply by 2008-end or in 2009.

Extra Curriculars: Good extra-curriculars...professional astrologer and Vastu consultant, have been consulting for the past 7 years, got professional certifications in Astrology and Vastu Shastra. Have an NCC "C" certificate in Air Wing. Involved in various social service projects.

I want to know how would I fare if I applied for a 2008-end or 2009 intake. What are the chinks in my armour? Where do I lag and what needs to be done?

I am actually worried about the II Class in my graduation. Please provide me an unbiased feed back because I read somewhere on this thread that Ist Class graduation is utmost important in SP Jain.

Regards,

Tumtum.

Hello Ms.Bharucha...
I am a fresher engg. graduate(IT) from a deemed university of india...My details in short are
CAT '06 percentile 96.18
Class X 90.00%(ICSE)
Class XII 76.60%(CBSE)
B.Tech 9.01(CGPA)
i have pretty good extracurriculurs as i am an avid quizzer....i currently expect to get to into B-school inside india which pays an average of around 6.5 lacs even to a fresher....i was interested in your school becoz i heard of the 1 year mba and the brand name of sp jain..but as i can infer from your previous posts...though the average salary is in the region of 8-9 lacs for most specializations....a fresher can expect a salary only in the region of 5-5.5 lacs max...and that too averaging out a few dollar salaries after conversion to indian rupees....Please advise as to whether i would be able to draw atleast 7 lacs at the end of the programme

the questions i want u to answer are...
1. average salary of freshers in the batch
2. Average salary of indian salary packages(not US dollar conversions of ppl placed outside india as dollar salaries converted may look high if settled inside india but actual costs abroad are more)
3. Percentage of freshers in current batch
4. When should i apply and when do the actual calls come out.
5.What sort of MBA will suit my profile...(er..not exactly too interested in IT)
6.What are my chances of getting selected(frank opinion plz..)
thank you..waiting in anticipation of your reply

Hey,
I wanted to enquire as to when will the aptitude test be conducted by S.P. Jain Dubai and what is the procedure to apply for taking the test?
Also, my CAT scores were pretty poor at 79.25 percentile but i have had a strong and consistent academic record in the past having secured distinction and above throughout my school and college. I also have a decent record in extra curriculars but being a fresher with no work-ex i wanted to know if there are any chances of being able to secure admission for the Global MBA program?

abs.agarwal

Hi rutty

I had a query regarding the GMBA Program of SPJMIR. I have already applied to the GMBA Program by submitting the form online. My apprehension is that while submitting the form, i had mentioned my Specialization as Finance - Investment Banking which is my first preference and IT Management being my Second preference(although there was only one choice in the online form). Since my profile is an IT based one and I have applied for Finance, Will I atleast have a chance to edit the Online form? Hope you understand my apprehension and let me know what can i do regarding this issue as soon as possible.

Sincerely
Rajesh

Hi,

I'm an Engineering graduate with 75% aggregate and excellent academic records in 10th and 12th. And have work experience of 18 months as a software engineer. I have topped my school in standard 10th.

I have applied for the GMBA June 2007 intake through CAT and XAT and have also mentioned to take the aptitude test of SPJain. Unfortunately my CAT result turned out to be miserable. But confident to get a good score in XAT.

Will my bad CAT score be a disadvantage for getting shortlisted ?

Please let me know my chances of getting shortlisted.

thanks and regards,
veena
