I have a query about MBA (Communication Management). I have done PGDiploma in Advertisement and PR. I am interested in doing MBA (Communication Management). I want to know how this course can help me. I saw the content of the course and actually liked me but will it help me because I already hold PGD? I have over 3 years of experience in Public Relations, Marketing Strategy and Communication. But the only issue is that I have less than 50% in graduation and 55% marks in PG Diploma.

Dear Sir,

What will be the selectional criteria for this year? Are there any sectional cut offs for selection?

Thanx

The course is a value addition indeed but there are eligibility constraints in your case.If you are a general category candidate, you do not fulfill the eligibility criteria for SNAP test that is a pre-requisite for applying to SIMC.You need to have a minimum of 50% in your Graduation to appear for SNAP test.

The selection criteria for this years SNAP is different for MBA and MMC (Masters in Mass Communication). The general SNAP is will be considered for MBA while for MMC, the selection criteria will depend upon the below mentioned tests.
1) SIMC MMC test
2) General SNAP

There are no Sectional Cuts offs.

For any other information, Please check the admission FAQs

You don't have to choose your specialization while applying for SIMC. Specialization selection is done in 3rd semester, not at the time of application.
And therefore there are no separate cutoffs for MBA- Advertising, PR & Media Management.

Yes. You can still appear for the SNAP and GD/PI (if you clear SNAP) without your final year results. But the admission will be provisional (if you clear GD/PI) and subject to furnishing proof of graduation with 50% by beginning of the second semester.
All the best.
