PLease do your individual research and then decide.
I know many people who are spjcmites and spjimrites...
I very well know how the placement figures are manipulated..
Last year I talked to many guys who were passouts and were workin in TCS, infy, CTS wid avg sals of 7-8.

I am not tryin to pull anyone down...
BUT, if you have no other option... go for SPJCM

I would say if you have written gmat much better choices in asia are NUS,AIM(Manila), Nanyang in order of quality.

hmm... interseting but distorted thoughts,
i am a current student of spjcm (IB),
First of all research u did was last year, college has progressed tremendously frm then,
I dnt know which profs and indistry ppl are u refering too, but as per my research this is nt the case,we have best faculty and profs from all over world and all are very impressed by the quality of the students,
Regarding industry ppl, i personally know couple of MNC'S which rate spjcm as A+institute
Now regarding GMAT scores , mst ppl we have in our batch are in range of 670-730, and in coming batch its arnd 750, with excellent background
I personally had a decent score 700+, and did lot of research before joining, SPJCM is better than AIM and Nanayang any given day, in terms of quality and carrer services.
Their are also ppl i know who have joined spjcm rejecting NUS offer ,and dnt regret the decision a bit.

I would say you should be in touch with reality and not try to be judgemental ,especially when the facts u have are not current.

Hope this answers some of your queries:

My friend completed his MBA this Jun(2007-08Batch) and he told me that everything included, the costs for doing MBA at SPJ(Dub/Sing) is around 13 lacs.

Can't comment much on fresher thingy, but as per my understanding prior expirience in the filed would be definitely advantageous in getting admission as well as getting a raise in the salary. So I would suggest work for 1 yr in the field you want (you get a better idea of what u are up to) and then go for MBA.

Also one advantage GMBA provides is that it is only for 1 year; so that doesn't hamper much, talking from working guys perspective...A change in the company would raise your salary but you also require around 6-8 months to establish yourself in the company...same time is spent here with an extra qualification of MBA and a salary hike...
