Hi,

As far as SPJCM admissions are concerend - the gap would not be a problem and neither would your working with a govt enterprise be given less weightage.


Thanks

Hi Dipesh,

Well yes you may go ahead and send in your application and while we do expect students to have atleast a first class all throughout their academic career, the Admissions commitee is willing to overlook the academics a bit if tehre is a good amount of work ex or if the candidate is outstanding in other areas. In your case since you have 5 years of work ex you may send in your application. However I cannot comment on your chances as that would be the decision of the Admissions Commitee


If you are looking at pursuing the Marketing spec then you should be looking athe placements statistics for the Marketing spec and not the IT spec
All theses details are available on our website on the below link:

Hello All,

Please respond to the query raised by me

Hi,

Well your profile sounds fine to apply except for your score. If ALL other factors are meeting our requirements then the Admissions Commitee will not reject your application.

What you would be required to do is either retake the GMAT or take our aptitude test inorder to improve your score.

Thanks

Hi Rachit,

Actually we do not advise students regarding what stream to opt for as we feel that it should be a decision based on your own interests and future goals.

However keeping in mind your profile and what you eventually aim for- in my opinion I think that one of our Marketing specs would be more appropriate.

Thanks
Shweta
