Ask SP Jain Dubai & Singapore: Official Admission Query Thread

[domnique]

Hi rutty,

I have a little confusion.
Why SP Jain-Singapore/Dubai gives a call on lesser percentile in CAT/XAT as compared to SP Jain-Mumbai?

What actually is the difference between the reputations of Indian and abroad campus of SP Jain?

Hope you have got my point.

Kindly throw some light upon the same.

do neone know that how many students they take exclusively from aptitude test?
do they give prefrence to cat/xat/gmat? what's the cut off for the test?nd when we hv to send the application for the same ...is it only after the results will be out as i hv not given ne of the other exams..

Hi rutty

I appeared for the Sp jain test that was held yesterday 28 Jan:
I have the following queries for the same:

1. When will the test scores results be out?

2. From wht i understood after going through this thread is that, only after u will get scores( CAT/GMAT/SPJAT etc) will u process the application unlike last time where all the applications were processed irrespective of test scores?

3. In case i dont get the required score/percentile ( minimum score required as per wht website says is 75 % for SPJAT), do i have an opportunity to give it again the next time , the test will be held?.

thanks!

Dear Manik,
If you wish to be considered for IB you need to send us an email at gmba@spjain.org about the same and if it is possible then we will inform you accordingly. but pls note that this is possible only before you are evaluated. once you have been through the evaluations then it is very difficult to change your stream and you would have to repeat the process again.
thanks

Dear Akhil,
You may still submit your application as the last date to apply for the June 2007 intake is 30th April 2007. incase you missed taking the aptitude test on 28th January, then either you may take the GMAT or take the test when we conduct it again. But we have not yet decided when we would be having the next test.
thank you

Sorry about the delay in replying ,b ut our office was closed from 26-28 jan due to the holidays.
No, you need not have taken the aptitude test as your XAT percentile is fine. Incase you have already taken the aptitude test, we will consider the best score.
Thank you.

HI Dominique,
Thank you for your query. A lot of students Im sure would have the same doubts.

PLs understand that our eligibility criteria is different from that of SPJIMR, Mumbai.
While SPJIMR, Mumbai comes under the system of centralised admissions via CAT etc we have our own admissions procedure.
We do not lay emphasis on ONLY the entrance test scores and look at the application as a whole keeping in mind other factors like work expreice, academics, personality, smartness, extra curriculars,achievements etc as we feel that the overall aptitude and ability of the candidate matters more to us than just the entrance test score.
So while the basis for shortlisting candidates of most Indian B-schools would be very high CAT,XAT,CET scores our emphasis is on overall profile of the students.
Hence it is not necessary that someone who has a percentile of 92 in CAT would surely be shorltisted by us, as he may not be meeting any of our otehr requirements, whereas someone who has a CAT percentile of 84 might get shortlisted if he satisfies all the otehr criteria.

There is no difference in the reputation or prestige value or recognition amongst the industry between SPJIMR, Mumbai or SPJCM, Dubai/Singapore.
Each enjoys its own place among recruiters and both are held in high regard.
Infact students from SPJCM, Dubai-Singapore have been placed in similar pay brackets in similar Indian companies as their counterparts from SPJIMR, Mumbai.

Hope i have sorted yours as well as many of the other students doubts.
pls do let me know if you have any further questions, i would be more than happy to answer all of them.

Hello,
I apologise for the mismanagement at your exam center and will look into the matter asap.
Could you please confirm if the test was conducted from 1.30 to 2.30 or was it available to students throughout the day?
Could also pls throw some more light on what was the exact mismanagement out there?

There is no fixed number of students that we take from the aptitude tests. As long as the students have achieved a certain score and they are meeting all our other requirements, we would shortlist them.
There is no preference given to any of the entrance tests. All are on the same platform.
For CAT/XAT our cut off is 80 percentile and for GMAT your score should be 650+ and for our own aptitude test it would be 75 percentile.
If you have not yet submitted an application you may do so right away or wait until your score is out.
We are not shortlisting students who do not have scores. If you apply now, we will update your aptitude test score, collate the data and then process your application.
or you may apply after you have your aptitude test score in hand.
thanks
