GMBA Admission Requirements and Guidelines
- This being a post-graduate program you must be a graduate to apply.
- You need to have done an aptitude test. We consider GMAT or CAT scores.
If you have not taken any and are not planning to do so, you must take
an aptitude test conducted by S.P Jain. If you have taken one of the
above mentioned aptitude tests you may also take our aptitude test,
if you so desire. We will consider the best score.
- You will not be short listed for evaluations until and unless you
have a score on your records to show us.
- The admissions team selects candidates based on consistent and high
academic performance, quality and rigor of the under graduate studies,
relevant work experience, demonstrated leadership qualities, analytical
abilities, communication skills and other personality traits.
- You can apply for only one specialization. Duplicate application
forms will not be scrutinized and the application/specialization received
as the first application will be considered only.
- Admission is offered only for a specific stream of specialization
and stream change requests are not granted. The candidate is evaluated
with reference to the stream applied for.
- Candidates with no work experience are welcome to apply. A small percentage
of the class is reserved for very deserving fresh candidates. Normally
relevant work experience is a pre-requisite. Further relevant post-graduate
qualification like CA for the finance streams is given preference.
- A small percentage of the batch is reserved for those with a family
business or who desire to become an entrepreneur. Please tick the relevant
box in the application form. Such candidates are not part of our placement
services. Once admitted under "non-placements" it is not possible
to change to "placements" later.
- It is very important for all candidates to read carefully the entire
catalog of our Global MBA ( May intake) 2008 program and note that it
is a residential (compulsory) program conducted at Dubai and Singapore.
We also highlight that it is a very intensive and rigorous program.
Please carefully read the procedures and follow the steps. You may call
us if instructions are not clear or you have a unique issue.
