In the application I have opted for the test by your institute. But I had written CAT 2006 and had 86%tile. The problem is I never received the score card from the IIMs. I have a copy of the score card I had printed out from net. Will that do or would I have to show the original. And if yes, can I change the choice of test in the application program

Dear Rini,

Are you a graduate as yet?You will need to be a graduate at the time of applying.
with regards to aptitude test we are looking at conducting a test in September details of which will be up dated on the website and you could register for that.
Academic scores are one of the parameter for shortlisting to the next stage.However it is not the only criteria we have.

Thanks.

Could you plz give me an idea of the tentative date/s for the next SAT?
Also, how much role do academics play in getting shortlisted?I am an Architecture student and academic percentages in this stream per se are quite low compared to engineering or other fields.Is there a common cut-off criterion for all streams?If yes, then what are my chances of getting shortlisted??I have 60% throughout my graduation till now.Also, is there a preference for students from a particular field such as commerce or engineering???

Regards,
Rini

Hi Rutty,
I am located in Bangalore and have been called for Eval on Sep 2nd. Can you please answer some of my queries below

(1) What is the difference in Jan 08 batch & June 08 batch (which one is more preferred and why)
(2) Can I get some more specific information on the evaluation process
(3) Since GMBA has a track of selecting candidates from 1 year experience to 10+ year experience range, how do the instructors cope up with so much variation in the profiles of the students.
(4) For IT Management specialization, what would you say typically is your average GMAT score & average work experience range.
(5) Will the IT Management Specialization restrict me to a Job Profile of “IT Management” or I could possibly get into other roles in the IT sector as well

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Rutty for the prompt reply. Yes, I'll be a graduate by January since my course ends in December.
I attended the interactive session conducted here in Delhi yesterday and gained some insight about the course and the application procedure. They also said that the next SPJAT will be conducted on September 30th.
As far as academic scores are concerned they said that the field and institute are kept in mind while shortlisting.I am now eagerly awaiting the notification about the SPJAT because now everything'll be dependent on my performance in it.

Dear dmvars,

There is no difference between the courses commencing in Jan 2008 and June 2008.
please go to this link SP Jain Dubai and Singapore - Admission Queries
This is the variation that we are looking for,it is always better to have variety in terms of age , experience as students can interact and learn from each other.
For IT and for all the other specializations the cut off GMAT is 650,likewise for experience we take in students with an average experience of 2 yrs but there are also instances where in we have taken in freshers with outstanding academics.
what offer you will ultimately get is based on the knowledge that you have gained from the course as well as your previous experience.

Thanks

Dear Rini,

Our classes would commence in Jan 2008, Since your results are to come only in January I am afraid that you will not be suitable for the January 2008 Intake but you can look at applying in June 2008.

Thanks
