Hi,

I had appeared for 5th Sept exam but I still haven't received any mail regarding the result. I wanted to know, only candidates, who have qualified and called for evaluation, will be informed or the rest will also be informed of their result? If yes, then by when do we expect the same?

Regards,
Akshi

Thanks in advance for your replies

Hi!

There is no difference in the batch strength for the 2 intakes.
for the evaluations you need to get your original documents and one set of photocopies, which can be attested by you. on the day of the evaluation we will verify this photocopy against the originals.

Hi Smitha/Rutty,
Well, the placement statistics for Nov. 2008 batch (graduating in the year Nov. 2009) is not put up on the site. Please enlighten me. Also, there is no difference in the batch strength between the two intakes?
For evaluations, can i bring photocopies of documents/marksheets which are attested by Gazetted Officer?

Thanks

Just that i didnt scored well enough ,shouldnt be a reason to eliminate.

Hi!

We evaluate a potential candidate overall, on several factors. These are: good GMAT, CAT or internal aptitude test scores, good academic record, relevant work experience, good communication and such skills and extracurricular activities.
Our application process involves application assessment, if shortlisted you will be called for the Evaluation process which includes Essay / Case Study and a Personal Interview. You will not be short listed for evaluations until and unless you have either a valid GMAT or CAT score on your records to show us. Alternatively, you can also take our SP Jain Aptitude Test, which is a general aptitude test on the same lines as a GMAT or CAT.

If you are targeting Nov 2010, we suggest you to apply now, incase you are shortlisted you will be informed about the next aptitude test date.

hi!

Though we have a cut-off mark, we are flexible if the overall application is very strong but here again we can't come down too much. Our cut off percentile is 75 whereas you have obtained 60.78, here the difference is too much for us to consider.

Hi Smitha,
I had my interview today (19th September). Went till the President's interview. I wanted to know whether President's interview is an elimination round? Also, does it mean that a person who qualifies to the President's interview (final interview) is almost through?Do u see the entire profile once again (academics, extra curricular activities, CAT/GMAT/SPJAT scores, work experience etc.) for getting an admit? I suppose the entire profile is already evaluated based on which candidates are called for case study and interview. can u throw some light on this?
Thanks

hi VIVKN,

hi VIVKN,

Hi,
There are totally three rounds.
1. Case Study/Essay Writing (Case Study - 40 mins and Essay Writing -15 mins.)
2. Panel interview consisting of two interviewers.
3. Personal Interview taken by Mr. Nitish Jain (President).

Panel Interview is an elimination round. You need to do well to get qualified to the President's interview.

1st Round:
Case study is based on the specialisation that you have chosen. For eg. a marketing guy gets a marketing based case study, an IT guy gets an IT based case study etc. It basically deals with the improvements that you can do to improve business, bring down cost etc.
Essay writing has two questions which have to be answered within 15 mins.
For me the questions were.
1. Describe a failure that u have encountered, your reaction and what have u learnt?
2. Describe your integrity by describing your reaction on an ethical dilemma.

2nd Round:
Panel Interview comprised a lady and Prof. John Davis (Dean of SPJCM). Interview was really cool and both of them kept me comfortable.
1. Tell me something about yourself.
2. Describe the team work, how you work in a team.
3. Some questions on my current job.
4. Mention your extra curricular activities, your interests and hobbies.
5. If there is a problem within the team members, how do you sort out the problem?
6. Give an example of high energy levels that you possess (since i mentioned initially about me being energetic).
7. Any question that you have? ( i asked a question)
On the whole very cool and i was quite confident. But, please be careful and confident while answering in the panel interview since this is an elimination round.

Then, i was escorted to the President's room for the final interview (I was really happy that i was not eliminated in the panel interview). There were 6 candidates waiting there.

3rd Round:
Mr. Nitish Jain is a very cool person and keeps you really comfortable.
1. Tell me what your company does? What business it is into?
2. Which project are you working? Do you do detail engineering?
3. Why do you want to do an MBA?
4. Any question that you have?

That is it. Came out with a happy and confident note. Still keeping my fingers crossed till the offers are made officially. It will take 3 days for them to inform the candidates about the offer.
Thanks
