hey guys

i wanted to know few things ...

wats the placement scene... the website gives a very generic picture and its nt very convincing.:nono:

2nd.. which is better place to go ?? Toronto or Sydney ??

First of all, if you dont think placements are convincing, thn u shld not think of applying....

Seconly u dont have a choice of cjhoosing the options- april intake has Toronto option and Nov intake has Sydney option. For goin at ny of these places, u will have to mention it on application and there is a selection round at sp jain for the same. Only a few students go thr.

Hi Puru and Wall,

Thanks for your help.
I have decided to join Nov 09 intake for IT.I think we need to study hard and then keep
our fingers crossed for 2010.All the Best to all who have been selected for Nov 09 intake.
I am sure this One year is going to change our lives.

Thanks
Samveg

Changing your life is a bit of an overstatement but yes there's a huge amount of learning which takes place. :-). Just setting your expectations right. thats all.

Cheers

Hey, anyone here in the IBWM specialisation, Nov 2009 batch? We need a group

Go with HDFC Bank.They can give you within 5-7 Days.
HDFC Bank should pay me for their Marketing.Lol.

Hi Aish,

Their is a Link called "Check your Application Status",Click on that it will prompt you for your User Id and Password.Based on that you can get to knw your Status.

How does one know he or she is waitlisted? I dont see any such update in the website as well

Hi Samveg

Well! To not join or to join is your call. I belive that you would have done a good amount of research before applying to SPJCM 'n if you didn't do so ... then its high time buddy (An MBA is all about making the right decisions at the right time n this would be your first decision - no offence!)

My opinion is: in India can u ask for a better exposure (two international cities: the most sought after business destinations), new 'n exciting cultures); an amazing class made up of like minded people, lots to share, networking opportunities in the places where it really matters... and the Brand; now don't forget abt the AMBA accrediation too

So when is your evals round and all the best...

hope I was able to thro some light....

Hi venividivici,

Where are you from? You joining or defering your admit.

I am from Hyderabad.

venividivici981 Says

Hi, I have been offered admission and the last date to pay initial non refundable deposit is 20 Oct. The last date to pay full fee with docs is 30 oct. So wait till 20th Oct, I feel they will give out calls.

Has anybody been wait-listed?

yes, i have been waitlisted

for both countries, its e-visa. U will get it as a print out.

Hey guys...
Have any idea about how are they gonna give us the visas? Like are they multiple entry visas? They haven't taken the Original Passport and just the photocopies... so a bit confused. I did ask the ladies in the office but they weren't sure about the info? :s

Secondly I know its a bit late to ask, is it a degree course or a certificate course?

Patience Micky!

No one knows the last date and keep an eye on the official SP Jain thread where The Adcom replies or updates new things !

I guess once all the offers have been made it might get posted in that official thread saying so!

So Have hopes till then !

Hi Guys,

Can someone please list out the pros and cons of PMM and SMM to help me choose between one of them. Please let me know asap.

What are you talking about? Pros and cons of PMM and SMM? its purely personal decision. Everyone wil have their own assessment about it. U need to question urself as to what excites u the most. get to know the companies for both types. get to know the job profiels, get to know how it wud be 5- 10 yrs from now, what people with those careers do.. and most importantly how u would like to see urself in that time. Ur background and many others things also play a crucial role in deciding.

Elementary Mr Watson! Elementary!!!.

Can someone tell me the loan process-preferably someone who got the loan sanctioned in chennai.

see my above response. it definitely doesn't depend on the city unless one is from a really remote place.

Hello,

Congs to all those who made it. Can you please tell me how did you get confirmation about your selection? Mail or anything else? I too had my eval on 11th. But no intimaton seems i am rejected.

u get a mail and most of the times, it gets updated on the website too. But mail is more dependable.

HI Guys.. can some one guide on the loan procedure...who have already availed the same... which banks preferably etc.. pls let us know as there is little time left..to arrange the finances..

cheers.

Loan process is a personal decision. I would strongly advice to go with banks where u know someone who can get things done quickly. Otherwise its diff to get a loan in less than 3-4 weeks even if u have all the docs ready (Assuming that u ppl have got about a month to send the money).

having said that there are obvs advantages of going with tie-ups but its a very painful process, atleast few ppl in my batch and I had very horrible exp in the loan process since we didnt know anyone.

Long and short, get hold of a person who can process ur loan app really quickly and peacefully.

Hello everyone,

I got an admit for Nov Batch yesterday for SMM. Does anyone have any idea when will the course exactly start?
Also, Incase I need to defer for the next batch, what exactly is the process?

Thanks in advance!

U need to send a mail to them stating the same. tehy will send you a mail. In that it will be mentioned. u need to pay a init amount of 2.5K USD or something.

Congrats to all new admits. Please join the google group for Nov 2009 batch. there is also a separate group for all planning to deffer to April '10.

Essays:
An instance when you were trapped in the ethical dilemma and the other on the Failiure.

The case study was on the Mac donalds. How they are providing unhealthy food to the children. It was around 4-5 pages but was very easy.

Panel Interview:

1. You are in the product development so tell me about the different phases in development of the product.
2. Why MBA and that to why marketing.
3. How do you feel SP Jain is going to help you achieve you long term goals.
4.Which company do you wish to get in after MBA and then few questions on that company.
5. Then a few questions on electronics like what is the difference between LED TV LCD TV and plasma TV.I believe that was because i told him that i want to get into consumer electronics field.
6. i had initially joined a marketing company after my BE for 2 months then a few questions on that.
7. Then how Honeywell is helping to contribute to the environment.
8. Then i am active member of CSR and with Local NGO' s so a few questions on that.

All in all i felt that one needs to believe what he is saying. Try to be clear as in why one is choosing the specialization.

Interview with the Dean was easy and was much of a HR kind. He asked me to explain in detail what i exactly do and then y SP JAIN.

So guyz best of luck for you evals round.

yes i think you will have the choice for deferment. once you are selected then at the time you confirm the admission at that time you need to request them to defer you admission. No you dont need to go another round to defer it.

do we really have the choice to defer the admit.If yes then when can we actually do it and do we have to go through another evaluation if we defer it.

i think no more calls for november 09 intake...

seems lot of people have deferred their admit to april.

Essay: Elaborate about your strengths and weaknesses, What according to you
is success?
Case Study: on Reckit Benckiser
4-5 pages of writeup describing the work culture,business ethics, strategies
for various products adopted by RB.
Question: What five strategies did RB adopt to gain market leadership over
competitors?
Panel Interview: 2 members
1. Tell us about yourself
2. What was your job profile in detail
3. Best professional achievement
4. Why did you leave job (i had left for MBA prep)
5. How are you preparing for CAT, give the full plan. ( frankly this was
unexpected)
6. What do you think- before launching a product it is the masses that are
considered first or the product and why
7. which recently launched product do you feel will be the market leader and
why (was asked bout statistics)
8. why have u opted for sydney option
Directors Interview:
9. What did you do at Forbes Marshall?
10. Which international areas did u handle and visit (since i was the
international operations guy in my dept)
11. What are your long term plans and how do u feel spj will help u achieve
thm?

I hope this will help u guys...ny further info ...always welcome...

What about specifics? what exactly are you looking for apart from companies and packages. Those things can be found in the site right..

cant reveal about he dec 08 placements as its restricted. so sry in advance

well i wanted to know the companies which recruited for retail management (apart from retail companies).on your website it is not mentioned specializationwise.

Best of luck for your evaluations. I made got into IBWM. My evaluation round was on the 20th September 2009. Its been a long time since then and i should have posted my experiance long time back however its better late than never. Needless to say i was nervous, reported 30 mins prior to my scheduled time i.e 10 A.M (earlier the better). Was taken to hall where my certificates were verified and was alloted case studies and essays. My case study was on Warren Buffet and was set up in 1999 just when the IT bubble burst in the US.
Case Study Brief:
Warren Buffet had said in order to achieve high returns post 1999 in the stocks markets to the tune of 15-25%, which was advised by inexperianced players 3 things need to hold good. 1) Interest rates should fall 2) Corporate profits should stay stable to 5 to 6% 3) One must invest in companies which have competitive advantage over its peers in the industry. Of the 3 conditions 1st two did hold good, but still the returns could not be realized.
q) Do you think the situation will hold good in todays market condition?
(To discuss it further you can pm me)
I would like to warn you that the case study is very very important and is one that would play a very important role in your selection. Be comprehensive and well aware of what you write in it. It has to make sense. The essays were on recession and personal achievement. I could not complete the PA essay, but as my case study and essay on recession were good, i sailed through. The panel interview was very friendly. Was mainly on my application form, the case study, my past experience and future plans. The best i can advice you is be prepared with 3 questions.
Why MBA? Why SP Jain and Why your chosen specialization?
Dont be complacent until your final interview. The person just reaffirms the facts you have mentioned in your forms.
Let me know if you want any further information.

Check the website for info on companies. One of the top companies has come for Projects. Hence, I dnt find any reason why other good companies wont come. Profiles and all are too specific, will be diff to tell as my seniors's placement has jus started. anyway, dnt expect profiles of IIMs or Isb's. it will be a notch below them or if u are good enuf.. may be u can bag a good one. it majorly depends on how your interview goes..

Guys,

I applied for GMBA on Sept 11th , I havent recieved a mail for an eval yet and the website shows that 11th OCt is the last round of eval for Nov '09 intake.

I am a little confused here , my application status has yet not been updated too. also I have a friend who applied on sept 29th and as i can see mostly people got eval offers between 1st - 5th Oct.......

Is this the end of the road for me ? or there is going to be another eval ? I know it is a dumb question as the site already says "last round " .

Pls reply soon.
