be in touch with the current topics as SPJ asks for the current affairs in the intrvw...also if u have any experience with any NGO then tat wud b added advantage...SPJ promotes n supports social activities a lot...in fact each n every student studying in SPJ has to actively participate...v are also participating as mentors for economically down bt academically brilliant school kids...college is spending lot of money on this mentorship project...so exp with an NGO will certainly help...

well applications will be out soon...its a small one page application unlike other 1yr B schools...u need valid GMAT/CAT/XAT score to apply...
as far as cut off is reqd...batch has got a GMAT of 600-750, CAT score of 88 to 99 percentile,XAT score of 90 to 99 percentile...bt more than score its all abt ur past wrk ex n all...
ur online applications will be evaluated by adcomm here....they consider various criteria to send calls like ur past work ex (both quality n quantity), past acads,extra curricular, score etc...then they send u interview call alongwith a form...this form asks u 2 write a few essays n more info abt u...interview is one day process comprising various rounds...1st round of interview is a grp intrvw whr a batch of 5-6 ppl will be evaluated by a panel of faculty...if u clear tat then u will b given some pschychometric tests n all...then 2nd round of interview...again a grp intrvw...this intrvw is more technical n on current affairs...

i m currently studying this course in SP Jain...this course costs 5.53 lacs which includes tuition fees,books,placement activities charges,hostel etc...8 lac figure is incorrect...

Hi Himanshu,

Thank you. Need some info on the following.
- When would the application dates for Jan 2010 intake be announced. And when would the final call list be declared?
- Can you give us the CAT/GMAT cutoffs required?
- On the application process - are there any essays/recos etc that are required, etc.?

Thanks in advance,
voxv

thanx for your reply.

One thing i want to know, is this course really worth rupees 8 lakhs (approx. cost)? what is the avg ctc can u expect after completion of this course?
if one married person wants to persue this course, how he can manage the huge amount of course fee (even if he takes loan, he has to take care of his family simultaneously & afterwards & not getting salary for that very year). Does this course really helps in that aspect?

Hello,

I don't know whether SPJ provides feedback to rejected candidates or not. But with my limited (and not so satisfied) experience with SPJ adcom and admin staffs, I can tell you this is the most lousy (yes, you read correctly) institute in terms of emails! They do not respond to emails. Period.

They read emails and will recognize you if you call after four or five consecutive unanswered emails. But they won't send one !

I guess, feedback is a distant possibility from SPJ considering the sheer lack of professionalism and zeal among the admin and adcom staffs !

Regards,
figure_out

Hi Puys,

Does S P Jain give feedback to rejected candidates?

Is this thread still active?

Now this info helps. But I am quite taken aback by the fact that SPJ folks do not reply to emails !

Any idea, if shortlisted for the interviews, and the candidate is not in India, will they arrange for a telephonic one?

Anyway, good luck to all fellow applicants !

Hi,

Before submitting my application, I asked SP jain admission office about this and they replied me back saying if I get shortlisted then they will conduct the telephonic interview.

Hi,
One of my friend's has the below profile

Now this info helps. But I am quite taken aback by the fact that SPJ folks do not reply to emails !

Surbhi,

This thread is for SPJain- Mumbai PGDM. You my not get desired inormation here. There is a separate thread for SPJain GMBA or SPJain Dubai- Singapore. I suggest you post your query there to get a response.

Hi Friends

I have 3.5 years of exp in IT.
ANd I have appliued for GMBA's HR Mgmt course. Can you please help me advising about the career prospects after taking the 1 yr SPJ's course.

How much would be the xpected salary package since I am afraid if it would be comparable to my current salary or not.

Will I be comfortable absorbed and how is HR in general as a field.

Thankyou!

Dear Friends

Can you please help me with the information regarding the GMBA 1 year Singapore/Dubai course.
Is the GMBA Course recognised in US/Europe.

Are placements happening in these countries too or is it possible to work in US/Europe.

Requesting you to Please help me with this asap.

Thanks a lot

Ranjit,

I am not comparing US salary with Indian. But it is well known fact that all, yes all b-schools publish misleading salaries. In some extreme cases they even include the cost of your workplace as a part of your package !! So I doubt if 15L is actual salary earned by average student in SPJIMR. If yes, then that's really enough for a decent living in India.

Do you have any contacts with current or ex-students of SPJ ? I'd really like to know the reason behind total absence of such SPJ-mumbai students on this forum.

Dear Friend,

First things first, I believe that SPJain will be helpfull only if you are planning to come back to India (I see that u r in chicago). SPJain has a good record for placements atlest in India. The highest salary for Executive PGPEX last year was 22 lakhs. That might be a one off, but as a very basic common sense I believe 15 lakhs is going to be average.
I was not sure by your line where u said u might be comiiting a financial mistake.
One cannot compare a US or a UK salary with an Indian salary. The currency difference is huge and the lifestyle has to be taken into account. In india with a 15 lac+ salary one can have a good lifestyle. (I believe)

If u want to go into consulting abroad, then I think the IIMS, ISB's will be a better bet as they have higher salary packages.

By the way my name is Ranjit and I am working UK (NON IT--- Systems analyst).

I am thinking of the feasibility to come back to India. I know the salaries will not be comparable with that of UK but India is after all India.

cheers,
ranjit

Hi All,
My profile: GMAT:740 WorkEx: 5 years - in IT

I am also planning to apply for this course. But I have some doubts about the program. There is no participation from current students or even wanna-be students on this forum. I was amazed by the way discussions were going on in XLRI-GMP and IIM or for that matter even SPJain Dubai-S'pore threads.
Something that adds to my confusion is the placement stats. Now, my current salary is already equal to their "Highest Foreign Salary". So will I be a committing financial suicide by joining this course? No doubt my profile will change and this may work out well in the long run. Indian salaries look decent, but again it is well known how salary figures are already inflated by every B-School.
So the only reason I will go for this course is that I wish to get into consulting. But sadly there is no information about howmany people were able to get placement in consulting companies, what kind of profiles are sought by consulting companies etc etc. Lack of participation of current students adds to this mystery. And unfortunately any emails that I sent to adcom have always gone unanswered.

hey the ad says dat minimum 5 yrs exp and in some cases 4-5 years can apply for jan 2009 batch.
If anyone has 3.5 exp now (4.5 in jan 2009) then can s/he apply?? I mn till which month we need to calculate the experience??

Mention the minimum level of acceptance, if any, for any criteria.
- Graduation scores atleast 50%
- CAT/XAT atleast 85 percentile
- GMAT score 680
- These are the criteria for the final offer. However, all criterias are evaluated relative to other applicants

Hi Anu,

I tried opening up the link for the application form. It is opening properly and takes one to the appropriate 1 year form.

The thing to note in the form is that the GMAT results have to be updated before Jan 2008 (not possible for me as I am giving my gmat in spring).

But when u close the form or logout it takes you to the 2 year application form.

I believe if we wait for some time the website will be updated properly and the forms will work correctly.

cheers
ranjit

Hey thanks Ranjit
Will try again for it...

Ya site mentions last date as 31st march'08.
But few days back I saw the add. in Hindu for the same one year course im Mumbai, which mentions the last date as 11th November.

Even If I try to access the "Apply link'" for this course , its taking me to the page from where we need to apply for regular 2 year MBA (thorugh CAT and XAT)

Its bit confusing
Any more details frm ne one else

Hi Pakya,

Thanks for ur email and pls let me know if u get any reply on the email. I tried calling them up when I was in India, but the number was not working.

IIMA__ ka reject--- Pakya with all due respect, Kya samajh ke apply kiya thaa IIMA mein ? They require 9 to 10 yrs exp minimum and ur age is 26. Have a look at IIMA ka thread and u will be horrified to see the experinces of people applying. I am not even thinking of applying to IIMA.

Which other colleges are u thinking of? Send me a private message as this question is out of topic for this thread.

cheers,
ranjit

Hi to Pakya and other members ,

I have just seen in SPJMIR's website - that for 1 yr course in mumbai starting in jan-09 their deadlines for application is 31-03-08 and not november like they did for last years batch.

If this is true then we have a good chance for applying to 09 batch as I am giving my gmat in march only.

Pakya, I too stay in UK and am interested to know if they conduct telephonic interviews. They are boasting that their batch has guys with international experience. That means it might add some weightage. But no news if we can give telephonic or not?

any views guys.

cheers,
ranjit

Thanks Ranjit.
Yes, the last date this time is March 31, 2008. And I also logged in to have a look at the form. It lists only four preferred interview locations - Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata and Delhi. So I have a strong feeling, they may not go for telephonic interviews. Anyways, will drop an email and let you know if I get a response.

I think you can apply for admission even b4 appearing for GMAT. As for me, I already appeared in March 07. Already got reject from IIM-A. Now desperate to get into other Indian B-schools.
