Where in each year has 2 semester, do i take a average of both the semester and update it as my GPA for that particular year.

In case i had : 8.71 in 8th sem and 8.05 in 7th sem.
Do i put it as 8.38 (avg. of both sem) as my GPA for 4th year.



Regards,
Richin.

Hi,

Either of the options is fine as the Admissions Commitee will not shortlist candidates without a score -so in any case until you submit your GMAT score you canot be shortlisted.

August 14th is not too far and its not too late in any case as the last date for close of admissions is Oct 6th.

In my opinion you can apply once you receive your unofficial GMAT score on 14th August

Thanks

Now as I my GMAT scheduled on 14th August'08,so should wait till then before applying or should I apply now(as it seems that aplying early is advantageous) without the score and send my score later when i give the GMAT.

Which option would you suggest?

Hi,

Well we require you to be a complete garduate atthe time of application. Which means you should have your result in hand at the time you apply.
Hence the earliest intake that you can apply for would be Dec 09.

However we do not run Masters in Finace programmes. Wht we have is a GMBA with super specializations in Finance.

All this information is there on our website if your read thru the same carefully esp the FAQs section

While we do prefer students with work ex we are also willing to consider freshers who are outstanding

Thanks

Hi,

When i login using the link:http://www.spjain.org/evaluation_login, i get the following message:

"Thank you for the interest shown in S P Jain, Dubai-Singapore’s GMBA (December 2008 intake) program. You are presently in the evaluation stage of our admission process. Once an evaluation date is firmed up by us, you would be getting a call for evaluation e-mail giving full details of when your evaluation has been scheduled for. If you do not get the same within a reasonable period of time, we suggest that you mail us on gmba@spjain.org. Post your evaluation, we suggest you check this link to check on the result of the evaluation process. It would take us 2-3 weeks post your evaluations to update the site with your status."

Does this mean, i am shortlisted for the GD/PI stage, and only the dates for this evaluation is pending?
or
am i looking for the status in any of the wrong links?

[rutty_bharucha]

Hi,

There have been instances in the past where, if the Admissions Commitee so decides, we have interviewed candidates over the phone if they are situated abroad and are unable to come down to any of our campuses

However that can only happen if you are shortlisted for evaluations and if the Admissions Commitee decides to interview you via telephone

Thanks
Shweta

Hi,

I agree that a low score in your academics might pose to be a bit of a problem

However if you have a high GMAT score and a good amount of relevant work ex - the Admissions Committee maybe willing to consider your application

From your email you have not provided details about how many years of work ex you have and I am presuming you wish to apply for the Retail Mgmt spez.

However I cannot comment on your chances as that would be the decision of the Admissions Commitee

Thanks
Shweta
