Could anyone/seniors please clarify why is salary considered here as an important criteria ??

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

Firstly, my apologies 'cos I know this post is out of place in this thread, but I just can't find a relevant recent thread for SP Jain PGDM course yet and I joined just today () so I can't start a new thread yet.

In any case, my query is a general one, so here goes:

I'm giving my GMAT next week and I will be applying to SP Jain's 2-yr PGDM course later this year. If I have my GMAT scores sent to SP Jain once I give GMAT, do I have to send a separate score report again at the time of application? I'd prefer to do it right away 'cos it's free for the first 5 institutes and after that a cost of $30 per score report, so I'd really appreciate clarification on this.

Thanks in advance!

Now..this is interesting! Seniors pl. rpl...

hi,
I got a mail for this course.It is written in the mail that In case you have applied for other Programs in SPJIMR, forms can be transferred without additional application fees.Does it mean that we dont have to apply again or pay application fee if we have applied to SPJIMR regular courses.
kindly clarify.

As long as u r eligible, go ahead apply & try ur luck. No one can predict on a call or conversion with full conviction. ATB!

Hi All,

I am applying for the PGPM porgram offered by S P Jain, Mumbai. I am interested in IT management course, completing which I aim to grab a role of Business Development manager etc. I have gone through the sutdent profiles attached on the site and have found the work experience very much in line with my current experience. But I am not sure of other important factors.
Below is my profile:

Work experience- 5.5 years.
Work profile- Vivid fields in IT industry. Currently as part of the Global Sales Office, working as pre-sales associate.
GMAT- 690 (3rd attempt).
Qualification- B.E. (first Class with Distinction, Average of all years 59%).
12th- 70%
EA- Outstanding. (Secretary of Students' Chapter Body in College and lots of others)

Can someone help with the answer to whether my score and academic performance are decent enough to get me a seat in PGPM course. My undersgraduate university considers last year's marks as the final result. I have distiction in my degree but overall average for four years is just 59%.

Thanks,
Anurag...

Thanks
Balaji

You will find your answer to the first question at the below link.

Career Options for Post Graduate Program in Management (PGPM) program Students @ SPJIMR

P.S. I am just an applicant like you

P.P.S Well the redesigned SPJIMR site looks so refreshing , certainly gives it an international look

Thanks for the reply.

Reg. pt c, i have 2 questions.
a. It would be good if you let me know the roles that are being offered for IT background, so that i can have my expectations clear (considering i am working as technology analyst).
b. can person from IT background is allowed to take "marketing" specialization, if he is interested?

Thanks
Balaji

Man, Try before you give up. To try you need to meet the eligibilty as stated. Have they mentioned that they won't consider a guy with gap in the career? I hope they havn't. I hope you meet the eligibilty. Rest depends on how well you present your candidature in your application. Ofcourse, A min. test score is pre-requsite. However, no one can perhaps accurately predict it. Its relative to acad. profile, EC, achievements & professional expertise for lateral shift. Generally speaking, at this carrer level you can set a bench mark of 680 and above GMAT. That will surely help you stand a good chance in top schools (But again, thats not the official mandate). Rest depends on your application and performance at the interview.
ATB!

Hope seniors would endorse it.

Hi Seniors,

I have submitted the application form available on SPJain website yesterday. By when can i expect a response from the adcom suggesting i am shortliested or not. Also, if shortlisted, when can i expect my interview to be held.


Thanks.

Dear amayjha,

The applications are reviewed in batches so your application will be processed once a sizable amount of applications are received. Its difficult to give a time line for this. If you don't get any response within a month. Drop an email to admissionspgpm@spjimr.org or call (022) 2623 7454 to find the status of your application. Please refrain from calling them immediately.

Regards,
Rahul

Ofcourse! U just have to ask. We are discussing PGPM (Ex-MBA) 2013 intake here in this forum. If you are interested, you can have an overview on the first page and then visit the website for further details and if you are still left with ny query then revert!

ATB!

Can I also get some information regarding SP Jain 2013 intake!

I had applied for family business program.. but no luck, is there any alternative course?

Dear Seniors,

Thnks for taking your time out and regularly answering to our queries.
I am determined to apply for PGPM-2013, however, in a dillema whether to sail on my already secured moderate CAT %ile or to take GMAT (probably with a score of 700) soon to prop up my candidature better.

My profile is as follows:
B.Tech- NIT-D, CGPA-7.7 (EE), Work Ex-64 months (34 months of intl. exp.), Job profile- Project execution/project management, CAT score- 90.xx.
Disclipline-Ops

Pls suggest.

You may apply with your CAT score if it has been taken in the last 3 years.

Hi,

(Not sure if this is a correct place to post my questions). Could you let me know a few information?

a. I have 590 in GMAT - (wrote Nov last year). Is this score Ok enough to apply, considering I would have 5.5. yrs of IT experience( 14 months in US) by Jan 2013. #Do I need to retake, as I don't have time.

b. I would like to apply MBA for 2 reasons:
- to move up senior management roles.
- to learn entreneurship, as I have plans of being an entrepreneur in the future.

#Is this course good enough to meet my aspirations?

c. Please throw some light on the role that could be offered after completing this course.


Would be really helpful if you answer my questions !!

Thanks
Balaji

Dear Balaji,

a. Looking at your profile, I feel that a better GMAT score will be needed. As the number of applicants with a similar profile as yours is quite high and the GMAT scores are generally high among the applicants.
b. You are the best judge of the suitability of the course for you. The program architecture is available at spjimr website. I can confirm that the faculty here is among the best in the business and are very cooperative and responsive to our needs.
c. The placements available at the end of the course is strongly related to your past WE and will be a progression in the same industry/domain at a higher level of responsibility. Latest placement statistics are also available in the course page under placements.

Warm regards,
Rahul

Hello Seniors ,

I do understand the rigor MBA program does n't allow you to come and post here more often .

But is it possible for you to answer my queries as mentioned below? I want to apply soon and get the interview process over ASAP

Thanks,
Satya

Dear kimi.raj,

Please find answers to your queries below-

1. Since your experience is very close to the minimum required, SP Jain will consider your application. But I would advice you to still keep your experience as 59 months as you will be mentioning your job start date in the application.
2. It is difficult to provide time lines for interview as they are conducted in batches.
3. SP Jain uses your best effort in CAT/XAT or GMAT in the past 3 years.

Will really appreciate it if you read what has been posted in the thread before posting or re-posting queries as it becomes difficult to answer questions individually especially it has been answered in previous posts.

Regards,
Rahul

Can I also get some information regarding SP Jain 2013 intake!

Please refer to the start of the thread and the following link for more details about PGPM-

SPJIMR - SP Jain Institute of Management & Research, Mumbai

Hi Rahul,

I will be applying by mid april.
Can you please tell me when would I be called for an i/v?
Are the i/vs only conducted in Mumbai?

I am asking this question because I have some more i/vs and I dont want them to clash with SPJAIn PGPM.

Cheers

Hi sudi5184,

Applications will be processed in batches ie as the adcom gets enough applications they will be processed together. Rolling admission means this will be done ahead of the Jul 15 deadline. It is difficult to comment on a possible timeline for interview as it would depend on the number of applications received. If you apply early you will have greater flexibility in choosing your interview dates. Interviews will be conducted only in Mumbai.

Regards,
Rahul
