Hi!

You can submit your application now by entering your CAT registration details in the form. Once you get your scores, you can update your score by sending a mail along with your application number.

We conduct 2-3 rounds of the S P Jain aptitude test for each intake. The first test is on 18th Dec, the other test dates will be announced later.

You will be shortlisted for evaluations only if your application meets all our parameters, so your application will be kept on hold till you submit any one of the aptitude test scores.

Regards,
Smitha.

Hello!!!
I am very much interested in this program...would love to do this course!!!!
i ve given my CAT 2011 and as you know , results will be out only by JAN 2nd week...

Hi,

I have already received the GMAT Scores and filled them up in the application form. Do I still need to send the GMAT scores to SP Jain through ETS? If yes by when should the scores reach SP Jain for the April 2012 intake?

Thank you very much,

A

Hi!

In your case, if shortlisted, you will be asked to carry your original GMAT score card along for verification at the time of evaluation . So you need not send it through ETS now.

If I tick CAT check box then its not letting me save the form without entering CAT score which is still awaited.
Also if I don't tick the check box,my earlier entries don't seem to go away in spite of me deleting the entered data.
I have tried clearing cookies and other stuff but in vain.

Hi!
Sorry, the percentile section does not accept a blank entry, so you need to enter '0' if you have taken CAT'11. With this your issue should be resolved.

If I tick CAT check box then its not letting me save the form without entering CAT score which is still awaited.
Also if I don't tick the check box,my earlier entries don't seem to go away in spite of me deleting the entered data.

Hi Rutty,

Can you please reply to below queries?

1. I have taken GMAT and have a score of 650. I know that S P Jain has a requirement of at least 650 and you expect candidates to have at least this score. You also encourage participants with less than 650 to apply as GMAT is not the ONLY thing that SP Jain looks for. Now, I have been to S P Jain seminar and the person over there said that we kind of have an excel sheet of all candidates in which each row represents one candidate and we consider entire row while evaluating any candidate. This practise is fair enough and is used by almost all institutes. Now, I want to know is with a score of 650, is it GAURANTEED that S P Jain wont reject me because my GMAT scores JUST meets the criteria ? It does not seem to be the case as per the seminar that I attended. Are the candidates waitlisted or rejected solely on the score of GMAT if other factors (case study and interview) are passed by the evaluation committee or GMAT with 650 is just a filter criteria that does not matter even 1% after a candidate applies with a score of 650 ?

2. What is the average GMAT score for S P Jain Dubai program ?

3. I got to know that SPJat is scheduled on 18th of Dec. Please confirm.

4. Are there any evaluatuion rounds going to take place for candidates who have applied with GMAT score or CAT score before 18th Dec ?

5. Can you please put in the approximate DATES of evaluation and entire process so that I can plan few things ?

6. Can you please put in the exact process of evaluation after applying for the program such as How many days it takes to know whether we will be called for evaluation after we apply and the details about actual evaluation process ?

7. The highest salary for S P Jain Mumbai is 23L and highest salary for S P Jain Dubai is 16L. This is something makes me worried. To make the matter even worse, average salary for S P Jain Dubai is 10.63L which is at least 3L less than what Mumbai guys get. Can you please address this difference ? Is it because of people doing 1 year MBA and not 2 yr MBA? I am sure S P Jain Mumbai entire cost is less than 20 lacks..

8. Is the average salary of 1,466,889 of Prod Marketing includes salary of S'poor and Dubai guys ? It seems to be the case. Please confirm. If it is the case, then what is the average salary for indian guys going for product marketing industries ?

9. Is the average salary of people shifting industries/careers less as they become fresher for that particular salary and do these people find difficult to get jobs ?

10. what if I am targeting only Marketing and I do target any other specialization ? What should I select in the 2nd option of specialization ?
Sorry for asking many questions !! But would be happy to see the responses !!

Hi Rutty,

Do you take into account full time workex gathered during the engineering internship?

What is the minimum experience required for April'12 admit? Is this period considered till March'12?

I understand that sometimes less experinced candidates could be considered for admit / deferral. What special qualities are considered in such cases, e.g. higher GMAT or excellent acads etc..

Thanks in advance

Hi!

If your internship was full time, it will be taken into account. But pls mention the internship experience in the column provided separately for internships.

For April, 2012, we need a minimum of 3 years work experience from candidates. For this we are considering work experience till 31st march 2012. Exceptions to this can be made if the candidate has a good profile otherwise.

HI Rutty,

I would really appreciate it if you could please take the time out to respond to GMBA2012's post. He has raised some pretty valid questions in my opinion.

Also, I do understand that you have reached out to the placement cell for information regarding the current batch's stats on the request of an email from a poster here. Would it be possible for you to share those details with us on this forum?

Lastly, could you please list all the non-IT organizations that come into SP Jain to pick up marketing students. I honestly feel that the list of Corporate partners listed on the website against Marketing is a bit misleading, please feel free to dispel these notions though.

Many thanks for your time!

Regards.

Hi!

We evaluate a potential candidate overall, on several factors. These are: good GMAT, CAT or SP Jain aptitude test scores, good academic record, relevant work experience, exhibited leadership qualities, analytical abilities, communication skills and other personality traits.
With the details you have given here, we would recommend you to apply but the admissions committee will need to see your overall profile for a decision.

Hi!

Your queries are answered in red below-

1. I have taken GMAT and have a score of 650. I know that S P Jain has a requirement of at least 650 and you expect candidates to have at least this score. You also encourage participants with less than 650 to apply as GMAT is not the ONLY thing that SP Jain looks for.

Are the candidates waitlisted or rejected solely on the score of GMAT if other factors (case study and interview) are passed by the evaluation committee or GMAT with 650 is just a filter criteria that does not matter even 1% after a candidate applies with a score of 650 ?

If you are applying for any of our specialisations except Consulting Management, then a GMAT score of 650 should suffice but thats provided you are meeting all our other parameters as well. Now, if you were to fall short in any area say for eg. your academics are not too strong then a higher GMAT score will give you an edge. But you will certainly not be rejected on grounds of your GMAT score alone.

2. What is the average GMAT score for S P Jain Dubai program ?


For our Nov 2011 batch, the average GMAT score was 660.

3. I got to know that SPJat is scheduled on 18th of Dec. Please confirm.

Yes, we are doing the SPJain aptitude test on 18th dec. registration to be done online from our website .

4. Are there any evaluatuion rounds going to take place for candidates who have applied with GMAT score or CAT score before 18th Dec ?
We will have our first evaluation only after 18th dec. to include the students who are taking their test on 18th
5. Can you please put in the approximate DATES of evaluation and entire process so that I can plan few things ?
6. Can you please put in the exact process of evaluation after applying for the program such as How many days it takes to know whether we will be called for evaluation after we apply and the details about actual evaluation process ?

The dates for our first evaluation round are not yet out. They will be announced soon . We normally have 2-3 rounds of evaluation at regular intervals for each intake. The evaluation process involves an essay case study round followed by an interview with the Panel. There is an elimination after this, post which shortlisted candidates go for an interview with the director. This is the final round. Results of this round will be announced a week to ten days after the evaluation date.




7. The highest salary for S P Jain Mumbai is 23L and highest salary for S P Jain Dubai is 16L. This is something makes me worried. To make the matter even worse, average salary for S P Jain Dubai is 10.63L which is at least 3L less than what Mumbai guys get. Can you please address this difference ? Is it because of people doing 1 year MBA and not 2 yr MBA? I am sure S P Jain Mumbai entire cost is less than 20 lacks..


Please feel free to select either the PGDM program offered in Mumbai or the Global MBA offered in Dubai/Singapore based on your needs and preferences. Both programs though different in their architecture and curriculum are of high quality and would serve you well.

Regarding your question on starting salaries for the Global MBA program:

1] Many of our best students select jobs in Singapore and Dubai where the highest salaries are Rs 24.43 lakhs and Rs 32.84 lakhs respectively. Please be aware that these cities have zero to low taxes further enhancing the savings potential. So merely taking the highest Indian salary is misleading.

2] The average salary for the entire cohort was approximately Rs 14 lakhs.

3] The average Indian salary for our latest placements (cohort that graduated in Oct '11) is Rs 12.74 lakhs and the overall average is Rs 15.50 lakhs. Currently around 85% of the cohort is placed and we expect the balance to be placed by this month end.

4] S P Jain's Global MBA program got ranked #9 in the World for Value for Money in the Financial Times 2011 rankings.

We believe that these numbers put us in the top 5 B Schools from India. However, we recommend that other parameters besides starting salaries should also be considered when choosing a school. An MBA degree should serve you for your entire working career.

Foremost among these are the curriculum and faculty. S P Jain's Global MBA program has recently been revamped and focuses on Decision Making. We believe that Decision Making is the hallmark of any good leader and hence has a value for a life time. S P Jain's Global MBA program is reputed to having excellent faculty including many from around the world. If you like we could connect you with some current students for you to gather this information firsthand.

Finally its our opinion that global exposure broadens ones horizons and this is critical for any business manager.



8. Is the average salary of 1,466,889 of Prod Marketing includes salary of S'poor and Dubai guys ? It seems to be the case. Please confirm. If it is the case, then what is the average salary for indian guys going for product marketing industries ?
The average salary for Product Marketing students in India would be somewhere close to the average India salary itself.
9. Is the average salary of people shifting industries/careers less as they become fresher for that particular salary and do these people find difficult to get jobs ?


During placements, there are a lot of factors that are taken into account while deciding on a candidates remuneration, they include factors such as your previous work exp, remuneration, qualifications, performance on the program, performance during the interview etc. All these factors are important and yes, they are taken into account to decide on a candidates salary

10. what if I am targeting only Marketing and I do target any other specialization ? What should I select in the 2nd option of specialization ?

Yes you can select just one specialization. It is not mandatory to opt for 2 different specializations .


Please let us know if you need any more information so that you may take this important decision wisely.

Hi Rutty

I have applied for the SPJAT scheduled for 18 December 2011. However, unfortunately, my name is there against my father's name in the registration form. I dropped a mail to the concerned person few days back to make the change, but I am still awaiting the reply.

Could you please tell me if such error can be corrected and would not hinder my candidature for the test?

Also could you please guide us on the pattern of SPJAT? It would be very helpful if we could get some sample paper of SPJAT!

Thanks in advance.
