SPJIMR PGDM Selection Criteria

SP Jain will shortlist the applicants based on their profiles. The shortlisted candidates will need to appear in two rounds of interviews. In addition, they must also meet the cutoff for any of the entrance exams, ie, CAT or GMAT.

For final admissions, the following factors are considered during the selection process:

Academic Records of 10th, 12th, and every year of graduation.
Work Experience relevant to the chosen specialization.
Entrance Scores required to only clear the cutoff or qualifying marks.
Achievements & Versatility including experience in different fields and past accomplishments.
Candidates seeking admission to the PGDM program will be shortlisted through two phases: profile-based and profile-cum-score-based. The selection list is prepared on a composite score of the applicant s profile, academic record, entrance test scores, relevance of work experience (if any), and performance in interviews.

As per Debraj Mitra, MBA/PGDM student at SPJIMR, the admission process included a Written Ability Test which was followed by two rounds of Group Interviews. The first round of interview was technical, and the second was a personality-based discussion. There is no reservation as such in SP Jain.
