Hi,
I plan to take the SPJAT in August, but I have no clue of the exam.
Can anyone please enlist the no. of sections, -ve marking, no. of questions/section, et al.
Appreciate your help! Thanks!
next spjat is on the 4th sept. registrations are now open.
the exact format of the test is difficult to tell as it keeps changing. but its an hrs test. will have ques on quant, verbal, gk and logic.
one hr is a too short time to solve the complete test. so choosing the right ques becomes necessary.
there is -ve marking, different for different ques thru out the test.
its a paper based test.
the ques are said to be a bit easier as compared to cat.
gk section can be a bit difficult.
i dont know much about logic.
hope this helps.
Please clarify a few things..
I am SP Jain GMBA aspirant. And I plan to take GMAT in sep (1st or 2nd) so that i can apply before the deadline of 15th sept (and website says "the sooner the better", which is another prob)
I am taking GMAT so early just coz of SP Jain.. other colleges, that I aim for, still have time.
So can i take SPJAT instead?
Is it easier than GMAT?
Is there any round 2 also for SP jain?
Do chances get less in round 2 than in round 1?
thanks in advance

I have taken SP JAT on 17th, let me brief a bit to you.
Sections are same as said above : quant, IQ, verbal, gk and logic.
Lets start on Quant : Fair enough on this just a bit bit above the levels.
IQ: Stupid questions. ( May be easy for some if spent time on it )
Verbal : Fine enough for some , others did not even touch the RC.
Reason : 2 pages of RC and 5 questions, we never had enough time to read the RC once.
GK : Totally stupid one, i had 16 questions out of which merely knew 1 or 2 , remotely connected or heard of.
Had + 1 , -3 in this, i did few, i had a word with 15 students, they did the same or some even did not touch it.
Logic : Idiotic, had 1 question involving 12 family members had to map all of them and answer, was simple but messy due to less time.
In total, if you got to answer 46 questions in 60 minutes that too including some stupid, ridiculous , irritating questions , its quite an impossible task, although i know some genius guys n gals did it fine, but for a normal guy like me, it was above par.
Do not ask scores lol.

And, i had a word with SPJAT guys, they said AVERAGE GMAT expected is 680, again above par for guys like me.
So, in total chances are bleak for me and on top of this, this is not final we have more then 3 rounds ahead if i am not wrong on this.
I am now finally trying for MDIS Singapore Bradford MBA, heard some good words for that one and it involves those with work ex.
Let me know if anyone plans for MDIS.
