85

Does SP Jain encourage CAs to apply for the 1 year program?

What kind of placements do people graduating from SP Jain's one year program get in the Fin Sector?

87

Completed the interview formalities today. Excellent staff with 2 rounds of Interviews (they call is discussions!). Clearly dissuading the candidates who're opting for complete change of profile thru this course. Note: Always choose your specialization akin to your work ex.

Interview experience:

Gave the interview yesterday in Delhi for the Marketing specialization. The panelists were really nice, and like they said, it really was a discussion rather than an interview. Below is how it went:

1) Document verification - all the candidates were accommodated in a hall and each person was individually called out for document verification. This was being done simultaneously with the interviews

2) Round 1 - a group of 5 candidates was sent for interviewing with a panel of 3 - out of which 2 were professors and 1 was an alum. Simple question on introduction, why MBA/specialization chosen, and plans after MBA. Candidates who has chosen a specialization that did not match their professional background were grilled, and then clearly told that they should reconsider because placements would be a big issue for them.

3) Round 2 - the same group of 5 candidates was sent to a panel of 2 - both professors. The questions were same as Round 1, with slight modifications on a person to person basis. Again, the candidates with mis-matching specialization choices were dissuaded from their choice and told that their chances of being accepted into the program would be less.

Key takeaways:

- This is not an interview, but just a discussion. So don't worry about the preparation too much.

- Have a clear understanding of why you want to do a particular specialization and how it will help in your future plans. For example, if you have worked in IT and then want to do a finance specialization to switch to banking - you're in trouble.

- As it has been said by other people on this forum, PGPM by SPJain is only for career acceleration and not for career change. So don't apply with unrealistic expectations.

Happy to take further questions on the interviews (through PM or comments on this post).

hi @adcom.pgpm 


I am interested in joining SPJIMR PGPM 2016. I have registered in the website and I am in the process of filling up the online application.

I have heard that people might get a interview call just by filling up the application form and without GMAT score. The GMAT score can be provided later. I was hoping to fill up the application form and if the profile is suitable get a interview call and give my GMAT sometime in mid August and provide my GMAT score before August 31st.

But in the application form there is this sentence which reads "Please note that your form will be 'Read Only' and closed for editing once you click "Proceed with Payment"". 

If I fill up the application form now and make the payments how will i be able to fill up my GMAT score later on if the application is ready only?

Does it mean that I just fill up the application form and not make the payments and wait for a interview call and then while filling up my GMAT score then I make the payment?

Please clarify on the same
