Eligibility Criteria for admission
1 Is there a maximum age limit for someone who wishes to apply?
 

There is no maximum age but older students should have relevant work experience.

2 I will be giving my final year exam only in April 2009. Can I still apply?
 

Only graduates can apply to the program. You need to have given your final exams and should have the result in hand at the time of making the application.

3 I have done a year less in my graduation as I have followed the 10+2+2 system. Am I still eligible to apply?
 

No, you need a minimum of 15 years of education in order to apply.

4 I have less than 60% in my final exam, can I still apply?
 

Normally we select candidates with a high academic performance. However, you may still apply and we will consider other relevant factors too like work experience, presentation and communication skills and extra curricular activities.

5

What is the minimum amount of work experience required in order to apply for the course?

 

There is no minimum amount of work experience required. We evaluate a candidate on several criteria. However, most of our students have at least 2 years of work experience.

6 I am currently working in Dubai/Singapore; can I work and do your course at the same time? Or will I need to quit my job?
 

If you are a resident in Dubai / Singapore and are a working executive, then you can apply for our “EMBA” course. The Global MBA program is a full time program, which would not permit you to work and study at the same time.

7 How many students do you have in a batch? Is there any particular standard ratio of foreigners to Indians?
 

There are approximately 30- 50 students per specialization. The batch could have between 250-300 students in total in our Dubai and Singapore campuses. (150 students in each campus at any given point). Students are selected on the basis of merit, not nationality.

8 I had applied for the GMBA programme in a prior intake but did not get selected can I reapply for this intake? Can I apply for the same specialisation as I had opted for last time or do I have to apply for a different one?
 

Yes, you may reapply for this intake even if you were not selected when you applied earlier, especially if there has been a significant change in your profile from your last application. You can apply for the same specialisation or you may opt for a different one from your previous application.

Admission Procedure
1 When does the application process for the December 2008 intake start?
 

The application process for the December intake has started. You may apply on-line or download forms and send the same by hard copy.

2 Do I need to send any certificates with the application form?
 

No. If you are short listed for the evaluation process you would need to carry these then.

3 I am a resident of Dubai/Singapore. Do I need to apply through the Mumbai office or can I apply through the Dubai/Singapore campuses.
 

You can apply through our Mumbai, Dubai or Singapore offices. However, you may apply on-line too. For short listed students the evaluation process (interviews/group discussions) will be conducted in Mumbai, Dubai and Singapore.

4 What is the application deadline?
 

Applications received by us are evaluated in the month in which they are received on a rolling basis. Admissions are offered to deserving candidates without waiting for the last date. Though the last date to apply for the December intake is October 6, 2008 (for Indian students) and September 1, 2008 (for foreign students) it is advisable to apply as soon as possible as all seats may be filled before then.

5 Is there an entrance test required?
 

There is no entrance test required, but you need to show a GMAT or CAT score. If you have none of the mentioned exam scores to show, you need to take S P Jain’s aptitude test. If you have taken the S P Jain aptitude test earlier we will consider the score if it is above our cut off limit.

6 I have applied for a passport but it is not yet in hand. Can I still apply?
 

Yes. However, you would need to have a passport by October1, 2008, as by that time we would need to apply for a visa for you.

7 What are the factors considered for admission?
 

There is no one criteria for admission that we look for. We evaluate a potential candidate overall, on several factors. These are: good GMAT, CAT or internal aptitude test scores, good academic record ( we usually expect students to have a first class ALL through their academics), relevant work experience, good communication and such skills and extra curricular activities.

8 Will I have to go through an interview for admission?
 

You would be required to go through our evaluation process if you are short listed for admissions. We would notify you of the same if you are selected for the evaluation process.

9 Is it mandatory to submit reference forms ?
 

No, we do not require reference forms.
