This year SPJIMR will have the interview process scheduled during March 2009 through March 2008.

Candidates who clear the first round will appear for a second round on the same day. However, the minimum score required to get the final offer is 85 percentile in CAT2008/XAT2009 or a score of 680 in GMAT taken in 2008

Interviews before the declaration of CAT results will be held in Mumbai only. Interviews after the CAT results will be held at other locations too, which will be announced shortly.

Admissions Process
Applications are to be made online only. The application-processing fee is Rs 1,000. It can be paid either by credit card or Demand Draft favouring 'S.P. Jain Institute of Management & Research' payable at Mumbai or at the Authorised Cash collection Centres.



The selection criteria for calling candidates for interviews are based on multiple factors like:

• CAT/XAT/GMAT score
• Work Experience - more than 5 years
• Past Academic Performance
• Extra curricular activities, other interest
• Accomplishments (Professional and Academic)

All the above factors along with the performance in the interviews are used to determine the eligibility of candidates for offering final admission. Selection will be largely determined by potential for lateral shift, clear career plans, sound purpose of taking up this programme and ability to map the relationship between these by the prospective candidate and SPJIMR's assessment of the above.
The candidates are expected to indicate their choice of specialization at the time of application - 'Manufacturing & Operations' or 'Information Management'.
Interview - Short listed candidates will be called for interviews.

Thanks

I would like to ask about the cut offs for SPJIMR for last year for various programmes,with respect to-
1)CAT
2)XAT
3)GMAT

Also, It will be very informative if you can put up detailed information regarding the selection processes adopted by the school after the calls for GD-PI are sent out.

On the same lines, any information about the kind of weightage given to extra curricular activities and work experience will be highly sought after, so please post about these too.

I had reported this to the SP Jain administration earlier, but didn't get a reply. So posting it here so that it hopefully comes under attention.

The site SPJIMR - SP Jain Institute of Management & Research, Mumbai is not accessible guys! Because it's probably got a malicious software attack which is blocked by most browsers and Google itself.

Check this link - Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page for www.spjimr.org/

That's a Google diagnostic page indicating that the site is under a virus attack and inaccessible to most people. Here are two screen shots. The first one is Firefox's security filter itself blocking it. The second is a Google advisory against the site. Hope your admin guys take care of it! Let me know when you fix the problem, I'll delete my post from here so as to not interrupt discussions.

Added later - Search 'sp jain' on Google. Below both SP Jain Mumbai and Dubai search results, there's a message that says 'This site may harm your computer.'

As far as the eligibility criteria is concerned, you are completely eligible to get into the school....But what matters is how much you score in CAT/XAT/GMAT(whichever test you are planning to take),your profile(academic as well as non-academic) and obviously how you perform over their in the school's own elimination/selection process.

@Navneet...
The cutoffs for PGDM as mentioned in the admission info is 85% for CAT and XAT and a score of 680 for GMAT.
In our batch the average percentile is around 97+

The procedure post calls consists of 2 rounds of group interviews, where if u clear the first round you appear for the next one same day..
I would suggest you not to conc too much on post call activities now as you should first conc more on your CAT

There is no defined weightage for as such but yes you need to have a good mix of acads and co curriculum...

PLS NOTE : There is nothing that should tell you that people with work ex are given extra preference or something like that, freshers also have the same chance of getting admission. Our batch has a lot of freshers and I am one of them

So to clear the air on Day 1 - Freshers and workex ppl have an equal chance of getting to SPJIMR


cheers

At this stage to comment on this would be very difficult cos the shortlisting will be done on your overall profile and the details that u fill in the form...I would say pls dont think much about the scores that you have got cos you cant do much about it...Even I did the same last year, its better you give your best in CAT..

I hope you are getting my point...

cheers
