For operations and information management, we do give preference to candidates with prior work-ex. However, we do have freshers gaining admissions into ops and IM based because of a good profile. So yeah, relevant work-ex, though preferable, is not mandatory
Hope this answers you query :)

There were contradictory views about SP jain including CMAT scores this year!! Can you throw some light on this issue??

@hopingthe-best said:There were contradictory views about SP jain including CMAT scores this year!! Can you throw some light on this issue??
No. We are not accepting CMAT score this year.
The Supreme Court in an order in July this year, had extended the stay on the AICTE notification on PGDM autonomy and allowed PGDM institutions to continue with their admissions for academic session 2013-14 through any of the five national tests viz. CAT, XAT, MAT, ATMA and CMAT. Also by the time CMAT conducts their second test in Feb 2013 and comes out with the result, our admissions process will almost be over.

We believe that no one should be deprived of education for the lack of funds. We have need based scholarships once you enter into SPJIMR. You will find this point in the adv as well that releases on sept 5, 2012 :). Good Luck

It's very difficult for me to predict whether you would get a call or not without having a look at your "sme hr nd dere". Your acads seems to be good. And so is the work-ex. Let the form come out. You might get an idea of what you should fill in the form. Apply nevertheless :)
@kiterunner
Would be eagerly waiting for it:)

There is no specific weightage given to any particular section of your profile. We generally look at consistently good academic performance, relevant work-ex(if any), extra co curricular and your test score(again it maybe CAT/XAT/GMAT) to give you call for the group interviews.
Work-ex, again is preferred but is not mandatory. Besides, your average performance in any one of the factors can be compensated by a good performance in other factors.
Hope that helps :)
@kiterunner

Like I had said in the prev posts, its very difficult for us to predict the chance of one getting a call unless we have a clear picture of one's extra co curricular. What may be average for you might be good for other and vice versa. Your acads seems to be good though.
A profile based call needs a min of 85%le for its validity. Remember, the profile list comes before the CAT result.
A score based call has some weightage assigned to test scores in addition to your overall profile. So a score based aint based completely on your test scores. We do look at your profile even there.
