Guys, I've my interview on 11th July at Kolkata.... Any views on what sort of questions may be asked in the interview for PGPM ????

44

Attended my interview in Mumbai on 9th May. There were 2 rounds (both Group interviews & both compulsory). There were 4-5 interviewees & 2 interviewers in each round. The first round questions were more to do with who u are & what u do daily at work. Make sure u tell what's written in the form u submitted. Based on ur answer will be ur next question. The second round interview questions were

1. Tell me one negative point about SP Jain

2. Tell me abt urself in 2 sentences

3. One general question regd ur company (Mostly will be a questn putting down ur company)

I would advice people to take a look at the curriculum as my interviewers wanted to know what exactly I wanted to learn from their MBA.... All the best to all those who are going to attend their interviews!!!

Admissions Process

Shortlisted candidates are called for an interview round. PGPM follows a unique rolling admissions process. The application deadline for the program commencing October 2015 is 31 July 2015. Candidates applying before the application deadline can be called for early interviews. The Admission office will also roll-out spot offers to outstanding candidates identified in early interviews.

Our experience suggests that many candidates are inclined to apply at an early date before the deadline since this gives them time to organize themselves before the commencement of the PGPM program. Hence, as a policy, we encourage the practice of early applications, which are then shortlisted for early interviews. Another unique feature is that promising candidates are given spot offers even before the application deadline elapses. This is provided they are seen to stand out and are seen to achieve a high position on the formal merit list that follows.

Please feel free to shoot any doubt you have in your mind regarding this course. We will be more than happy to welcome your queries.

Hi,

I do not have the 5 yrs work experience currently but I will complete 3.5 years by Dec 2015. Also, I have 2 additional years of academic experience in the form of a post graduate MS degree.

I've seen a few people mention that little less experience can be considered.

So, Is it worth applying this year or I must wait until I have exactly 5 years of work experience? 

Thanks

Hi ppl,

  Myself,Bharath working for RIL since the past 7 years..

I would be giving my GMAT on August 7th and i have an interview call from SPJ..

As with the pay packages,the website figures says that the last years batch was placed with an average pay package of 18.5 lpa.

This i believe is the average figure for Finance/Operations/Marketing put together..

Where does the average pay package for operations management stand,since the finance sector is usually the paymaster.

Will be grateful if somebody replies!

57
