You are welcome...nopes I didn't practice....I just thought off it instantly.. you get 20 minutes for each essay.....
They don't let you know the weight age of essays but while you go for the panel interviews, they read your essays before interviewing you... So the better you write, the more impressive you look...
I have got the results, I 've got the offer for admission...for Product marketing management.
I haven't given the SPJ exam, so I guess i might not be able to answer on the same. You can ask me regarding everything else.

Maverick i think this essay writting you are talkin bout is only for those who are taking SPJAT....those who are using there CAT or XAT scores, do they also need 2 write essays...also can u share ur GD PI experience..
I have got an evaluation for the 13th of October...all those who have allready attended it during 1st / 2nd Sept, can you please share your experiences? what all the evaluation process generally includes? How does it generally go? What are they looking at?
So u had to write the essay before the interview.. Other then SPJAT how many rounds will be there... How was the interview ... do they grill too much can u tell me after how many days of submission of ur application u got the interview call..
Neha
The SPJAT scores would be used to shortlist you for the evaluation call.
This is followed by evaluations...which comprize off:
1. Two general essays 2. One Business essay 3. GD 4. Panel PI ---------------------- 5. Director PI
All those who are called up for evaluation undergo 1 to 4. After teh panel interview there is a shortlisting and these shortlisted guys/gals are then interviewed by teh director. I'm not sure of the percentage of shortlisted for teh last intervw to that of teh total people called for evaluation. But it is a healthy one for sure.
I had got the evaluation call for teh 1st of september...It was within a week(3 days to be precise) of my submission that i got teh call....It keeps happening on a rolling basis... but i guess you should be hearing from them in a week to 10 days time.

thanks
Congrats buddy........... Can yu tell me about the chances of a student who missed 1st class by a few marks but is very good in extra curri....and have a rich and relevant experience in consulting and IB
Thanx 4 d reply...i thnk no one has read my earlier posts...can u tell me if smbody can apply again if he or she is rejected once...
YOu can very well apply if you have not been able to make it through.. for instance if you have applied in JAn 08 and couldn't make it.. you can apply for June 08....One never knows teh reason for teh rejection....It might be a case that there were far too many who were having a better all round profile than your'z...So dont let your hopes diminish!!
I wanna apply to the sp jain dubai //singapore campus for marketing specialisation .
Wat chances do I have to get through having a rather less impressive academic record ....Wud Sp jain dubai be as stringent on past acad records as spjain Mumbai is ?????
I have been shortlisted for Evaluations on Oct 13th...Now i have to send the draft for 2000 /-. What all do we have to submit along with this draft? Any forms / enclosures.
