Careers360: Describe how your admission process went for PGDM/PGDM-BM at the SPJIMR? What were the challenges and takeaways from the process?

Answer: The Process consisted of three parts - Group Interview - I, which was an elimination round. The selected candidates then proceeded to take on a Writing Assessment Test (WAT), and finally the Group Interview - II.

I had an excellent experience of the overall process, especially GI-II, as it made for an excellent discussion on ethics in business, and I was lucky that one of the senior faculties, Prof. Jagdish Rattanani who took the Business Ethics course at SPJIMR was one of my panelists. The major challenge during GI-I was the vast array of things one was expected to be prepared with - I personally struggled with going back to my undergraduate syllabus and revising some of the topics, after being away for over 2 years. However, after traversing some of the those questions, the Interview mostly revolved around my introduction, interests and understanding why I wanted to pursue Marketing

Careers360: What's the campus like? Describe in a nutshell the facilities and what you like best about your campus.

Answer: SPJIMR has an amazing campus, with loads of facilities available - be it for sports or for cultural activities. Parts of the campus like the Lake, temple area make for peaceful spots which I personally like to use during free time or just to get away from the normal hustle-bustle of the curriculum.

Careers360: What are the various clubs on the campus? Are you part of any? If yes, what made you choose it?

Answer: The campus has Professional Development Clubs, which include - Consulting club, Analytics club, Product Management club, OSCM - Operations club, Marketing club, Investing club, Speak - Public speaking club | Cultural clubs - Spin (Dance club), B-Major (Music Club). I am a part of the Analytics Club. Considering I had a background in Analytics, and had an interest in this domain, Analytics clubs attracted me.

Careers360: What are your career goals and how do you think the SPJIMR has helped in achieving this?

Answer: In the short term, I was looking for a change in my career trajectory and wanted to expand my skill set, being limited to not only one sector, but gain holistic business knowledge. However, I wanted to do this in a value based system, learning not only about profitability, but also about people and how to positively impact society. SPJIMR with it's unique culture, a system defined by values and innovation, provided the perfect opportunity, and hence has been the perfect step for me towards achieving my goals.

SP Jain Institute of Management and Research offers two-year, full-time PGDM , PGDM-BM, 18 months PGPM and Global Management programme. Admission to the PGDM, PGDM BM and PGPM programmes is made through the CAT and GMAT scores only. SPJIMR does not accept the NMAT scores for admission to these programmes. However, if you want to apply for the Global Management programme, then you can apply for admission through the NMAT scores along with CAT/ XAT / GRE/ GMAT scores.

Hello aspirant,

CAT does not directly send your scores to individual institutes. After you take the CAT exam, you will receive your scorecard from CAT. This scorecard will contain your overall score, sectional scores, and percentile rank.

You will need to update your CAT score on the individual institute portals yourself. Each institute has its own application process, and you will typically need to upload your CAT scorecard to their portal. This allows them to evaluate your application based on your CAT performance.

Therefore, it is important to be prepared to update your CAT score on multiple institute portals after receiving your scorecard.

I hope this information helps you.
