Hi Rutty,

Would the interviews be taken on the same date as the test. As per the website the test is conducted in various locations, would interviews be also conducted across India, or as you stated in a previous query - it will only take place in Mumbai

Hello,
You may apply for the December 2007 intake as we need students to be graduates at the time of applications and your engg results would only be out by August 2007.
Thanks

Thanks mam,
i would then apply for dec intake but mam i had one more query --:> can i give the current spjain aptitude test and use its score for dec intake ???

Thanks again

Hi rutty

i hav filled and booked the slots for the sp jain aptitude test but had some doutbs in mind
your admission guidelined states that
1)once a call a received only then should a student apply for test and evaluation but in this case i was able to book for the exam even without getting a conformation for the next phase

2)youe website says its 1000 rupees for test but the test website say 1500?

please clarify these two doutbs at the earliest as i have my test dated 28 jan

Profile sounds good, you may go ahead and apply.
thanks

COUNSELLOR

according to the general intake, how fair a chance do i have?

cat 93.81 percentile

work ex
accenture 9 mnths
kanbay 9 mnths

B TECH 72.4 from Punjab Tech univ
XII 74.8
X 90.0

Yes only once we have had the evaluations in cities other than Mumbai. But now it would only be conducted in Mumbai and no where else.

Hi,

Pls. let me know the centres for GD/PI. Till last year Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai and Calcutta were centres in India. But this year as per the website only Mumbai would be the centre where GD/PI would be held. Is this the case, and would it not be better to have the same across India so as to help people reach the nearest location rather than only Mumbai.

thanks for the infor rutty.

Respected madam,

I, Dipankar Chakraborty, have applied to the June intake (specialization: Service Marketing and Management) and have submitted my form on-line on 15th January. I have however, not received any acknowledgement from your side on the receipt of my application.

I would be highly obliged if you can kindly let me know whether you have received my application and tell me my application number. (My email id is: news_dc@rediffmail.com)

I would also like to know in which month will the aptitude test be conducted and whether the test will be conducted in Kolkata.

Thanking you,

Dear Sonia,
Thank you for your msg. You may apply using the same CAT score. We are willing to be a little flexible on falling short on any criteria if the margin is very narrow and provided there are other outstanding factors in the students profile.

I cannot say anything further as the outcome of your application is the decision of the Admissions Committee.

Hello Ma'am,

My academic qualifications are as follows

10th - 87.33%
12th - 85%
B.Sc (Chem) - 64.75% (did it from Presidency College, Calcutta & ranked 83rd in West Bengal in Graduation)
M.Sc (Chem) - 68% (from Hindu College, Delhi University, ranked 8th in department)

Work Ex - 20+ months in a market research firm.

However there are 2 problems -
firstly, my CAT score is 79.33 percentile whereas you have mentioned 80 percentile as cut off.
Secondly,my company is a small firm which is quite known in the filed of B2B services but not very reputed.

Considering the above, do you think I hold any chance if I apply to SPJAIN Singapore?

One more query, do you have hostel for ladies in Singapore?

Thanks for taking off time to reply.

Regards,

Sonia

Dear Ankita,
placements for the June 07 batch would commence around March/April 2008.
This means companies would start visiting our campus to interview students from March/April and you would start your employment from June 08 or so.

The cost of living in Dubai would be approx 650 AED per month and 425 Sing Dollars in Singapore per month.
This is just an approximation for a comfortable standard of living and it may vary depending on the individual's lifestyle and habits.

Hi,
Let me clarify that our programme is a 2 city cross over model where in you are studying 6 mnths in Dubai followed by 6 mths in Singapore so there is no option to choose between the 2 places. You have to compulsorily study at both places.

As for your query regarding placements, you may view details regarding the same by clicking on the following link:
SP Jain Dubai and Singapore - Admission Queries

Hope all your queries have been answered.
thank you

Dear Rutty Bharucha,

First of all I would like to thank you for this wonderful support. I am very much interested in applying for SPJ Singapore / Dubai.

My CAT Score in 2005: 94.8 percentile. XAT score in 2005: 96 percentile.

I am Mech Engineer with 70% aggregate in my engg acads. I have 83 perc in 12th and 85 perc in 10th std.

I have decent extra currs including being member of student placement committee in college, have won prizes in quiz competitions, dumb charades, have also presented technical papers at state and national level.

I was selected by Reliance during my campus interview in college and I am working with them since last 3 and half years. Currently I am deputed in London as a Procurement Manager. Due to this, I could not appear for CAT this yr. However I did write the XAT exam when I went for a short vacation back to India.

As you can make out, my current position in my company is pretty decent.

Just wanted to have your guidance as to which college is more suitable for my sort of profile

Also are there any lateral placements in SPJ Singapore. Also what is the sort of package does a 3+ yr experience guy gets when he / she does MBA from SPJ DUBAI / SINGAPORE.

I hope you will reply to this loooong query of mine

Thanks in advance.

Dear Veena,
thank you for your msg.
You may update us with your XAT score when you receive it and we will review your application keeping the same in mind.

Hi,

I'm an Engineering graduate with 75% aggregate and excellent academic records in 10th and 12th. And have work experience of 18 months as a software engineer. I have topped my school in standard 10th.

I have applied for the GMBA June 2007 intake through CAT and XAT and have also mentioned to take the aptitude test of SPJain. Unfortunately my CAT result turned out to be miserable. But confident to get a good score in XAT.

Will my bad CAT score be a disadvantage for getting shortlisted ?

Please let me know my chances of getting shortlisted.

thanks and regards,
veena

Dear Aaryan,
pls note that you can apply only for one specialization. So you need to decide whether you wish to apply for IT or IB. If you wish to change from IB to IT then you need to send us an email at gmba@spjain.org mentioning the same and we will do the needful.

Thanks

Hi rutty

I had a query regarding the GMBA Program of SPJMIR. I have already applied to the GMBA Program by submitting the form online. My apprehension is that while submitting the form, i had mentioned my Specialization as Finance - Investment Banking which is my first preference and IT Management being my Second preference(although there was only one choice in the online form). Since my profile is an IT based one and I have applied for Finance, Will I atleast have a chance to edit the Online form? Hope you understand my apprehension and let me know what can i do regarding this issue as soon as possible.

Sincerely
Rajesh

Hi,
You may go ahead and apply. You may take our aptitude test to improve on your CAT scores. However we have not yet fixed the date for the test and details regarding the same would be updated on our website S.P.Jain Center of Management, Dubai . Singapore in week or 10 days.
You may pls visit our website at regular intervals to know more about when and where the aptitude test would be conducted and the registration procedure for the same.
thank you

Hey,
I wanted to enquire as to when will the aptitude test be conducted by S.P. Jain Dubai and what is the procedure to apply for taking the test?
Also, my CAT scores were pretty poor at 79.25 percentile but i have had a strong and consistent academic record in the past having secured distinction and above throughout my school and college. I also have a decent record in extra curriculars but being a fresher with no work-ex i wanted to know if there are any chances of being able to secure admission for the Global MBA program?

Hello,
pls take a look at the reply to akil_turbos queries as your questions are similar.
thanks

Respected mam , i have same type of questions ----about freshers
can u plz throw some light on freshers admissions and placements
wat was the lowest , average and highest salary for a fresher of finance specialisation........

I think you are misunderstanding. Freshers can draw more than 5.5 lacs but it would depend on the individual and how he/she comes through at the time of interviews. For break up of Indian salaries and salaries abroad you may visit this link about more info on placements:
SP Jain Dubai and Singapore - Admission Queries

I will answer your queries in the manner asked:
1) Avg sals are mentioned on the link given above
2) Avg Indian sals also mentioned onthe same link
3) percentage of freshers would be approx 8-9%
4) Admissions for JUNE 2007 have already commenced you may go ahead and apply. if you are shortlisted you will hear from us in 30-45 days
5) the stream you apply for depends on your area of interest. in certain instances we have also taken engineers into some of our Marketing or Finance specializations.
6) I cannot comment on your chances of being selected as that is a decision only the Admissions committee can take but your profile sounds fine you may apply.
All the best with your application!.

Hello Ms.Bharucha...
I am a fresher engg. graduate(IT) from a deemed university of india...My details in short are
CAT '06 percentile 96.18
Class X 90.00%(ICSE)
Class XII 76.60%(CBSE)
B.Tech 9.01(CGPA)
i have pretty good extracurriculurs as i am an avid quizzer....i currently expect to get to into B-school inside india which pays an average of around 6.5 lacs even to a fresher....i was interested in your school becoz i heard of the 1 year mba and the brand name of sp jain..but as i can infer from your previous posts...though the average salary is in the region of 8-9 lacs for most specializations....a fresher can expect a salary only in the region of 5-5.5 lacs max...and that too averaging out a few dollar salaries after conversion to indian rupees....Please advise as to whether i would be able to draw atleast 7 lacs at the end of the programme

the questions i want u to answer are...
1. average salary of freshers in the batch
2. Average salary of indian salary packages(not US dollar conversions of ppl placed outside india as dollar salaries converted may look high if settled inside india but actual costs abroad are more)
3. Percentage of freshers in current batch
4. When should i apply and when do the actual calls come out.
5.What sort of MBA will suit my profile...(er..not exactly too interested in IT)
6.What are my chances of getting selected(frank opinion plz..)
thank you..waiting in anticipation of your reply

Hello!,
Thank you for a detailed write up about your profile and your keen interest in our programme.
You may go ahead and apply for 2008-09. While by and large we do stress on first class academically we are willing to be a little flexible in the case of certain students who have other redeeming factors to make up for the lack in academics. However pls note that we are willing to bend only upto a certain limit ie. the shortfall has to be by a narrow margin.

Hope this has solved your query.

Not necessarily, Freshers may get more than that depending on their personality, skills, communication etc.
It depends on the individual and how you come through at the time of placements.

Thanks

Hi Kathik,
Thank you for your message. No this will not hinder your admission process, However we will shortlist only those students who have a score. So you may take the test and then apply or apply and kindly update us about your score once you have it so we may assess your application accordingly.

Hi,
Iam Karthik working as a Software Engineer from Satyam Computer Services, Bangalore. I have 13 months experience now and by the time the college commences (if iam selected) i will be having around 19 months experience. I did my engineering from Regional Engineering College (now, NIT), Kurukshetra - one of the top notch colleges in India. I have a first class degree and done many note worthy extra curricular activities. Thing to be noted is, I havent given CAT or XAT. Am ready to write S.P.Jain's aptitude test....
will this hinder my application process??? Please tell me whether this profile is good enough for applying.

Hi Rutty,

please keep us informed when is the SPjain entrance exam is slated to happen?

and please give me insight about how the scenario is going for your batch of Global Logistics management in terms of internships, their final placements offer (if it has already started).

thanks and regards,
mbaplayer.

Dear Rutty,
Thank you for spending ur prestigious time with this issue. I live in Dubai, I have 2 yrs. of experience and i want to take the june 2007 intake. Could you be more brief about the faculties, placements and the average salary paid to individual dept. I am looking for Marketing or IT Management. If i wish to be placed in India after my graduation, Are the Indian companies coming to Dubai or S'pore campus? if yes, what all companies recruit? Could you plz be more accurate on how many percentage of students get recruited on campus? Thats all for now Mr. Rutty....Looking forward for your prompt reply. Thank you!

Hi Rutty

Thanks for taking time off frm ur schedule to answer our queries. I would like to know that the avg salary as mentioned in the SP Jain site is around 8-9L p.a INR.
Is this the avg of indian and foreign salaries combined. If this is the case, then don't you think that the salary being offered in Dubai (or S'pre) is below the avg salary that MBA's earn there!

Cheers
Puneet

Hi,

I'm an Engineering graduate with 75% aggregate and excellent academic records in 10th and 12th. And have work experience of 18 months as a software engineer. I have topped my school in standard 10th.

I have applied for the GMBA June 2007 intake through CAT and XAT and have also mentioned to take the aptitude test of SPJain. Unfortunately my CAT result turned out to be miserable. But confident to get a good score in XAT.

Will my bad CAT score be a disadvantage for getting shortlisted ?

Please let me know my chances of getting shortlisted.

thanks and regards,
veena
