Hi Himanshu,
I have 3 queries: :)
Can you pls lemme know the application 'end-date', as i cudnt find the same online. (I have a low gmat score of 640 , and plannin to give gmat once again before the application end-date.)
The eligibility criteria given on the website is, work ex of 5yrs. The application form specifies work ex till dec '08. So, does this imply that the work ex till dec '08 shud be 5yrs?
I will have 4.5 yrs ex by dec '09, and the current batch average work ex appears to be 4.5yrs. I would like to know if spjain(by any chance this year) is very particular abt this "5yrs" eligibility criteria?

hi Anand,
here r the answers of ur queries...
1. I will come bak to u on End date soon...generally it is in May...
2. A GMAT score of 640 is nt tat bad if ur other things r on a better side (past acads, extra curricular, work ex-both quality n quantity etc etc)...fill the form n if u get the intrvw call then write the essays properly (for SPJ, essays r 2 be written by only those candidates who get call for intrvw)
3. Avg work ex of current batch is 5.5 yrs...there r only 4 ppl (out of 56) with 4.5 yrs wrk ex.Since thr r 4 ppl in this batch with 4.5 yrs wrk ex so i can only say tat they were nt very particular abt 5 yrs at least till last yr...4.5 is the min wrk ex in our batch...i m nt very sure whether SPJ will be very particular this yr or not...year after year avg work ex of the batch is increasing...bt still u can giv it a try as i did last yr (i m in with 4.5 yrs wrk ex!!!) as form cost is only Rs 1200/-!!!....ur work ex will b counted till Dec'09 (not Dec'08...)

PG
Well SPJ takes scores of CAT, GMAT and XAT...I am not very sure about the median score but i think it shud be near 670~680 or something (not very sure) although it varies from 600 to 750...
Thanks

Hi Himanshu
Thanks a lot for your quick reply !
I was referring to the below course : is this different from SP JAIN PGPM ?? pls reply
Thaks a ton again !!!
*************************
Tata group firm Infiniti Retail's electronic retail chain, Croma, has started a post-graduate professional programme in retail management.Croma, in association with the Bhavan's Centre of inter disciplinary studies (BCIDS), under the academic guidance of city-based S P Jain Institute of management Research, has started the course.
"Today, the Indian retail industry is evolving at a fast pace and offers great, never-before career opportunities. wITH the spurt of shopping malls and departmental stores, huge employment opportunities are opening up within the country and abroad," iNFINITI REtail CEO said
******************************************
probably thr is sum course running in the campus in association with Croma...i m nt aware of the same. If u have got the information from a website/newspaper then tat must be correct. As far as i knw, Bhavan's campus does offer many courses (full time/short term/part time) so u dont worry n attend the intrvw. All the very best.
