Hi,


1. I wanted to inquire in the work ex section till what date do we have to mention the work ex?
2. While entering graduation marks it is asking for marks or cgpa for each semester. We are provided with sgpa and cgpa where sgpa is for a particular semester and cgpa is for the cumulative of all semesters happened before. So in the section should i put my cgpa or sgpa, can you please tell?
22

I know that SP Jain accepts GMAT score. So shall I give SP Jain's name in the list at the time of giving GMAT so that scores are sent automatically or SP jain doesn't require? (So that I can give name of some other college and save some money!)

Hello Applicants,
There has been a lot of confusion regarding the cutoff date for writing number of months under workex. Please note that the date is 31.12.13.


All the best!👍

There is some confusion regarding filling up of CGPA/GPA for graduation. We request you all to fill CGPAs for each semester.

Hi,

Are IT/Operations students allowed to take Finance/Marketing optional too? Or the subjects are predetermined from before as per the specialization taken?

During placements are banks, financial institutes open to take students from either branches, or only specific specialization students are allowed?

29

@The.Red.Devil

Are you sure that qualifying score for GMAT is 650 because last time it was 680.

Nothing has been mentioned about GMAT score on college website for this batch.

34

What's the criteria for getting Profile based calls? Could you please elaborate? As in provide a few examples..that would be helpful! @The.Red.Devil @MassiveDynamic @DeeBee1

35

Can you please throw any light on SPJAT? Is it only for the Global Programmes (MGB, GMBA) or the Indian College as well? Any additional info on this would be helpful. Thanks!

36

Dear Puys, once again we would request you to post your doubts as a new post in this thread. Request you not to post it as a reply to posts of other applicants. We just want to make sure that we don't miss out on clearing any of your doubts. 😃👍

Also, some of you are facing an issue with selection of specialisations. Please have a look at our spec select videos on youtube. They will help you take better and more informed decisions.

I work in a Steel company,what to choose as industry type
Neither Steel nor Manufacturing is given

38

In the profile section (under Versatility subsection), besides the concurrent interests/activities one is pursuing, can we also mention the past accomplishments in diverse fields, or, should it be pertain to the current ones only?

39

Can MOOC courses (massive open online courses) of a particular specialization be added to the form and will it provide any significant leverage ?

Hi, I completed my B.tech from Delhi college of engineering this year and I am currently working as application developer at Computer Science Corporation(an IT firm).


I saw the video

Spec Select Part 5 of 5 Information Management


It says that the participant should have 2-3 years of relevant IT experience before applying, does that mean people like me with 4-5 months work ex don't stand a chance?


and if the possibility is dim in IM, please suggest to what course should I apply to?


PS: Last year, as a fresher I had a profile based call for finance. But this time since I have work ex in IT, would it be advisable if I apply for finance again?(I don't have any relevant finance experience)
