Ask SP Jain Dubai & Singapore: Official Admission Query Thread

[rutty_bharucha]

Hi,
we look at various criteria while assessing an application - acads, ork ex, entrance test score, extra curriculars - the entire profile is looked at.
If a student is found falling short on any one of these parameters then he is waitlisted.
In any which case this waitlist is reviewed from ime to time and this means that you might still get shortlisted if the Admissions Committee finds you suitable

thanks

We are in receipt of your application and on screening the same we find you falling short on some of our admission criteria due to which we have kept you on our waiting list. Periodically (there is no specific time frame for doing so - it is done as and when the need for doing so arises) this list is reviewed and students moved to the evaluation process.

Hi Rutty,

Thanks for the reply.
Well as far as recos are concerned i ve go to know a couple of confusing views so if u can clear those it wud be highly appreciated.
1. There are two recos that are required. Do both of them have to be from my managers or i can have 1 from my manager & 1 from prof at engineering collage.
2. If the recos are submitted on a seperate sheet is there a format which i must stick to or it will be genral reco format. what i heard was 'Format will be provided by the liasion office, i just need to Contact them On phone n they will guide me regarding the same'

TIA.

Hi Rutty

My name is Sameer, working in IT industry for last 2.5 years. Employers include GE and SAP.

I have applied to SPJ's IB program because of my interest in Finance, and have the following doubts:

1. Will my IT experience be considered during placements? What are the chances of that happening?

2. I was surprized not to find the IB bigshots in the list of companies visiting for placements. I am referring to Goldman Sachs, Merril Lynch, UBS, Lehman Brothers etc.

I am not worried about the quality of the program offered, but concerned about its global acceptance. Kindly comment.

IF you are planning to take CAT 07 then you would not be able to use the scores for the Jan 08 intake as your results would only be out in January 08 and our intake would commence by then.
We do have tie ups with banks to provide loan assistance to studnets.
the full details regarding loans is available on our website S.P.Jain Center of Management, Dubai . Singapore in the FAQ's section under visas and loans.

thanks

Thanks for the prompt reply Rutty........

[abs.agarwal]

Dear Rutty,

I have recently been called for the evaluation process and aptitude test on 15th of September in Dubai.

Is there anything in particular that I should be prepared for. I dont have any work experience so will that hamper the evaluation process and also will the evaluation process consist of essay, gd & pi only or will there be anythin else too?

Thanking You,
Abhinav Agarwal
