Who deleted my last posT? SPJAIN people have rigged my result. Even my markings on the answer sheet have changed. They do not know how to behave. Asked me to give the test again and when I actually applied for the test again, they told I wont be allowed to give the test again. Anyone else faced similar problems?

This is for all SP JAIN aspirants ,

Have a couple of friends in the current batch at SPJ and these are the following things they have to say about the Course & Placements:

ME:
Who all should look at SPJ ?

Frnd:
SPJ is best for people with more than 3 Years of work ex. The current batch has quite a few people with less than 3 years but most of us feel that GMBA brings highest value for 3 years + students.

ME:
What is the class composition like ?

Frnd:
The class consists of people from a variety of different domains and industry. We have mechanical engg, scientist, project managers, wealth managers , CA`s , CFA`s , chemical engg, doctors, senior managers, Business Development and ex- defense personnels in the batch.

Most students are with between 2 Yrs - 7 Yrs Work experience bracket. Its a great batch composition with only about 2% of the batch with less than 1 yr experience.

ME:
How is it for people shifting from IT to Fin (i am looking at IB) ?

Frnd:
We often look at MBA as a good way to shift into something new. However most of us forget that companies which come in for recruitment look for RELEVANT WORK EX . So, If you are a BCOM graduate coming in for IB and then looking for a Securities research profile in Boston Analytics then you stand a much better chance to land this job as oppose to a software Engg.

So when choosing your stream please be aware of this cause companies will be taking a hard look at your profile prior to your MBA and they will discount any work irrelevant to the job.

ME:
How are the placements shaping up this year ?

Frnd:
Plcements in SPJCM or any other Bschool out of india does not work in the Zero Day format. Typically Placements span over 2 - 3 weeks as companies have to fly down to the campus.

The placement week started 2 days back and close to 65% of the batch has already been placed, this is a remarkable performance when compared the other Bschools in the same region (NUS , NTU , INSEAD). I am not aware of the exact average but i do not know of anyone who has accepted an offer less than 8.5 Lacs so far.

There are more questions he answered but i found these to be the most relevant so far.

Thanks....

Could you tell me how many offers have been made to IT guys in singapore ? and the 8.5 u quoted was domestic salary in Rs. or after conversion ?? And how is the course 'Global', as in does the curriculum involve case studies from across the globe. ? How is it different from the Indian MBA ?

If u go thru SP J website, u'll find all the stats that u require.
to answer ur Qs however, as per SP J website, the placements are predominantly in India followed by a small number getting placed in UAE and a fractional % getting placed in singapore.
