@ajaygovindg said:
@anie0207 If you have the accuracy that you say, expect around 90+Consider applying to few among IMT, MIB/MHROD, MFC/MBE, FORE, LBSIM, UBS (including a few as backup)After results look out for KJSOM, BIM T, LIBA, TAPMI, IMI (as per last year trend they reopen applications)To know more about cut off's, application deadlines and helpdesk for each B-school check out pagalguy.com/forums/cat-and-re...

Thanku Sir.. The situation is much clear now for me..

Sir you suggested the above institues.I have a doubt : I thought of applying to the following institutes. But you din suggest any of the following.Does this means that these institutes are not better than those u suggested or they have a higher cutoffs.Which is the right reason ?Goa Institute of ManagemenWelingker : MumbaiBITS, PilaniBIM, TrichyNIT, TrichySRCC GBO : Delhi UniversityGreat Lakes : GurgaonVIT, VelloreIFMR, ChennaiSydenham, MumbaiMICA, GujaratGreat Lakes, ChennaiLoyola (LIBA), Chennai
That is not the reason.

Either the colleges that you have mentioned have deadlines post CAT Results or they are through some other scores like CMAT, XAT, etc.

As i told already that through XAT, you may apply right now to XL, XIMB, GIM.

FYI GIM is Goa Inst of Management.

SRCC GBO has it's own exam.

Sydenham is through CMAT.

MICA will have it's own exam.

Great Lakes require a 2+ yrs of work-ex and cut off is in 90's.

I won't suggest VIT Vellore until and unless you don't convert anywhere else I suggested and doing MBA is compulsory.

LIBA, NIT-T, BIM-T, etc have deadline post CAT Results.

Hope everything is clear now.

Do get back if still any query is unanswered.

@avinashkrjha Hi, i have seen the batch profiles of sp jain batch 2011 students. To my surprise, I found out that only around 10% of the students (around 25 in the whole batch) were freshers, rest all had work ex. Even those 10% students had outstanding acads and a great overall profile.So being a fresher with very average grads, I am in two minds whether to apply or not. Don't you think it will be a waste of 1500 bucks.
Most likely yes.

Being a fresher and having avg acads, you can expect a call from SPJAIN only if you can manage to score very high %ile.

All the Best.. :)

no idea for sc category..
@fazer55 You have to register and make the payment before the said deadline to get the 400Rs application fee waiver.

hi all,

couple of doubts in application of SPJain
1) this time SPJain has announced that there will be seperte calls for profile based and score based. Now, my question is do we need to select whether we are applying throough profile or score? or is it the insti that decides the case?
2) While applying, the area of specialization has been asked. Does that mean i will be given that area if selected. or do i have the provision of deciding my specialization after the course starts as in other colleges?


@chandrakant.k I think you'll get better responses if you ask this query to seniors in the SPJIMR helpdesk thread at http://www.pagalguy.com/discussions/2013-2015-spjimr-admissions-queries-and-discussions-25085346/3601402

Will suggest not go for it unless it is very much needed to take admission for MBA this year itself.

All the best
@visionIIM-ACL hmmmm.. Thankx a lot..
Hwz ubs? Is it worth aplying? what is the median package?
@anudsweet As per information given in the helpdesk thread average & median is 6.5lakh.

Whether its worth applying or not is a choice you'll have to make for yourself, based on your criteria, what you're looking for from an MBA and what the institute has to offer.

@ajaygovindg :Sir,i want your view whether i should fill up spjimr form......
my profile:
X-81.6
XII-69.6
B.Tech-60(2011 passout)
Work Experience-nil
Exatra-curricular Activities-decent(played football in regional level)
last mock percentile-96%ile
Cat 2012 expectation-95+%ile

With this sort of profile,can i expect a score based call from spjimr,provided that i score 95+%ile in cat......plz help



@TONYMBA Your acads are a bit on lower side, you're a fresher and no extra ordinary achievements (which is something they look for I believe). I would NOT recommend applying to SPJIMR because as per eligibility information given in their website at http://www.spjimr.org/pgdm/admission_eligibility_selection.asp "Kindly note that even in case of score-based calls, the candidates profile is taken into consideration."
@ajaygovindg :thanks for your view........ last year i heard about candidates not getting call even at 98+%ile
