Last year, the admission process commenced somewhere in mid-june, i suppose, and the first round of interview started on Sep 1.
Now that , the admission has commenced pretty early, can we expect the shortlist to be out earlier than usual, as also the Interview dates?

CAT cut of is 80%ile and SPJAT 75%ile and for GMAT it is 650+

You may visit our India Liaison Office in Mumbai and meet the counselor there. Pls call and schedule your appt with her in advance

Hi,

We havent yet fixed the date for the next apt test
you may send in your application without a score, however the final decision to shortlist a candidate would only be taken once we are updated with a score.

Thanks

Can i fill the admission form before giving the SPJAT or i need to take the test first.

Thanks

[rutty_bharucha]

Hi,

As you know our cut off is 650 however your score is just marginally below this hence what I suggest is that you apply using this GMAT score and incase the Admissions Commitee feels that you are satisfying all other criteria barring the GMAT score then we will get in touch with you asking you to take the SPJAT or provide us with any other score.

Sometimes the Admissions Commitee may also find you exceptional in other areas and may overlook this small difference in your GMAT score

Thanks

Hi

Suppose I complete my application by June 6, by when would I get to know my result.
I am travelling to USA on July 3. Can I give the interview by phone, if required.

Thanks
Karthik

[rutty_bharucha]

Hi,

It takes about 30-45 days for you to know your application status.

For candidates living abroad and who are unable to travel to any of our campuses due to the distance then there is a possibility of arranging fora telephonic interview. however that decision lies solely with the Admissions Commitee

Thanks

hi rutty

I am Archana .. I am SPJCM aspirant and i am applying for DEC 2008 intake

When i apply i will be having my work experience close to 2 years (23 months) . I worked with infosys for 1.5 years and now i am into Cognizant.

I wanted to do my MBA in Global logistics and Supply chain management and i have done internal certification in global chain management to prove the adcom that i have interest in doing the same

I am in IT and if the people ask me why I havnt taken IT management can i say them ( the IT management curriculum is almost similar to what i have worked for 2 years and i wanted to try my hands on Supply chain and i am much interested in that)

Is the Global logistics and supply chain management is more towards manufacturing and logistics domain but i have been working in HEALTHCARE for 2 years in both the companies. Does this domain change affect my admission process

I have good acads and extra curricular activities on my back

Can i submit my application with the unofficial GMAT score as i am taking GMAT in mid of AUG 2008.

waiting for your reply

Cheers,
Archana
