It is rare for SP Jain to admit students with lower scores, but we do consider all factors including academic performance and extracurricular achievements. Shortlisted applicants who want to take the SPJET are required to pay the fee of USD 45 before requesting the SPJET date.

• The School establishes a shortlist of potential applicants based on:

The essays and interviews are designed to assess the applicant's communication skills, aptitude, and knowledge.
