Hi,

Pls use a new login id and password and fil lthe form again for the April 2010 intake. The old one will NOT suffice as it will NOT be considered for the April 2010 intake

Thanks
Shweta

Hi Shweta,

Today while creating a new login and password for the april 2010 intake I saw that my previous application still exists . Do need to create a new application or will the old one suffice ?

Another thing which I wanted to ask is about the IELTS requirement ! It was not there the last time right ? Is it required when english was the primary medium of instruction during graduation ?

Regards,
Tanay.

Hi, this is Ajay. i want to give this SPJET for nov-dec intake Is it possible.

Hi,

The details given on the website are all we have to share with students and cannot privde you with any more statistics as of now. We will keep your suggestions in mind and try to provide these details for furture intakes

Thanks
Shweta

Hello Shweta,

Thanks for the response to chattu. My requirements are very similar to his (i.e. looking for best One year Executive program in India).

The information provided on website is just not enough to evaluate the probability of success after joining SPJ. The location of job and the nature of companies do make a lot of difference to understand the success of SPJ candidates. The figures in INR are very impressive, but few jobs in USDs and the figures can get skewed.

I acknowledge SPJ brand name, success stories of individual candidates, have no doubts about the infrastructure and teaching facilities, but the placement information on websites is just not enough for me to believe that the SPJ one year program has a fantastic placement record as well.

I understand SPJ policies of disclosing limited placement records, but am hoping that you will help me gain confidence in SPJ placements.

Hi Shweta,

I have sent a email to you on gmba@spjain.com.


Good morning.
I have received this update online today:

Offer
Thank you for the interest shown in S P Jain, Dubai-Singapore's GMBA (November 2009 intake) program and going through our evaluation process. Congratulations! You are one of the selected few that have done well for themselves and are being offered admission into our program. We look forward to your joining our program.

Would that be possible that if I can receive the offer letter on email id as I am currently in US.

Also I haven't heard back about my SPJAT scores, could you please send me those also.
Based on that I need to figure out if I can still apply for scholarships after making the initial deposit.

Thanks in advance.

Please let me know.

Hi,

The details given on the website are all we have to share with students and cannot privde you with any more statistics as of now. We will keep your suggestions in mind and try to provide these details for furture intakes

Thanks
Shweta

Dear Neha/Shweta,

I am considering a one year MBA program from a top ranked MBA institute in or around India.
I was very impressed with the latest placement statistics available on the SPJCM site but had the following concerns/queries -

1. The highest and lowest salary for each specialization - Was the salary offered in Dubai, India or Singapore? 19-20 lac Rs. in India is an excellent placement but in UAE translates into approximatley AED 146,527 or S$56,505 in Singapore dollars, which may or may not be an outstandin placement. Considering taxes and the cost of living in each country, these amounts have a very different significance in each country. Same for the lowest salary.
I suggest that the data for the placement in each country be given seperately so that students be clear on what to expect vis-a-vis placements in a particular country. When students don't get what they expect, it doesn't really help the reputation of the institution.

2. Median salary - A median salary gives a better idea of the salary distribution. Most international MBAs list the median salary. Considering that SP jain is projecting itself as a Global MBA, the website should also provide such data.

3. Salary distribution according to work experience - It would be a good idea to include statistics which tell a student what sort of salaries someone with less than 3 years could expect, or someonw with a work ex between 3 and 7 years could expect, and so on.

Given the fact that doing an MBA is a very important step in every student or professional's life and a considerable investment especially in terms of money, such information will help me and other candidates make an informed decision for their future.
If possible please help us with that data.

Thanks and regards

Abhishek Chaturvedi

Hi Shweta,

I have got a call from SPJ for evaluation on 11th Oct. In my application form I have mentioned ACFM and IT as first and second choice, respectively.

I have 6 yrs of IT experience behind me and after giving it a lot of thought I want that my first choice should be IT and second as ACFM.

I have emailed Sejal and gmba at the email ids to change my app from ACFM to IT. I am awaiting a reply from them.

Request you to please follow it up for me so that after the confirmation I can make the initial payment and book my slot for the evaluation.

Thanks,
