S P Jain will have 3 admission cycles for the 2013-2014 academic year. Applicants will be evaluated in only the cycle for which they apply.

• Cycle 1 - applications received upto December 31, 2012.
• Cycle 2 - applications received upto April 30, 2013.
• Cycle 3 - applications received upto July 31, 2013.

A student needs to submit only one application. In fact, duplication of applications may lead to a student's form/admission being disqualified.

It is not necessary to have Year 12 results in hand at the time of application. In case the Year 12 results are not in hand, selected students will be offered conditional admission to the program.

Students need to take either SAT or the S P Jain Entrance Test (SPJET). The SPJET would be conducted periodically in multiple cities. Based on the test results and the overall profile a candidate will be shortlisted for the evaluations (essays and interview).

Entrance Test (SPJET) Fee - USD 45

As the SPJET is for internal assessment, scores will not be released to students. Students will be notified by email if they meet the requirements for admission. Click here to view a sample test paper (answers are also highlighted).

Detailed procedure for the aptitude test, its payment, and its centers, will all be uploaded on the website prior to the test.

The admissions team shortlists applications based on past academic performance, entrance test scores, English language proficiency, and other achievements.

Shortlisted students are required to pay an Evaluation Fee of USD 55 prior to requesting for an evaluation date.

Students may attend the evaluations before their Year 12/IB results are declared, but the results must be submitted by August 10, 2013. Students not holding Year 12 results in hand may be offered conditional admission based upon their evaluations, overall profile, and English language proficiency, provided they meet all other deadlines for the entry cycle in which they apply.

Approximately two weeks after evaluations, students are notified as to three potential outcomes:

• Acceptance
• Waitlist
• Regret

Once a student has been offered conditional admission s/he would be required to pay the first year annual registration fee of USD 2000 to accept the offer. The registration fee is non-refundable under any circumstance except in case a student fails to satisfy the condition(s) of offer, then S P Jain would refund the entire annual registration fee paid.
