What CAT percentile do I require to get calls from IIM Blackis, FMS, SP Jain, JBIMS and MDI Gurgaon?

For GEM, the CAT percentiles required to get an interview call from IIM Blackis, FMS, SP Jain, JBIMS, and MDI Gurgaon are ABC and FMS: Both institutes required nothing less than 99.5. Those who get admission at a lesser percentile, usually don’t belong to the GEM category. There are many who don’t even get a call with 99.3. So to stay on the safer side, go for nothing less than 99.5. IIM Indore and Kozhikode: Both the institutes require percentiles around 97.5 for an interview call SPJIMR: This Institute has unique selection criteria under which CAT is given less value and calls are issued on the basis of the candidate's profile. The CAT percentile required in this case is less than the normal if you have a good academic profile along with work experience, MDI: This institute issues calls around the 96% mark. It’s important to know that these figures are based on trends and not on actual data so you will find exceptions everywhere. Moreover, it’s better you don’t waste time analyzing the CAT cutoff and start preparing for the same.

Do students from IIM/FMS/JBIMS/SPJIMR/IIFT/XLRI bunk classes like engineering students?

At IIM/FMS/JBIMS/SPJIMR/IIFT/XLRI, attendance is seen as a crucial aspect of the learning experience. Every effort must be made to be present in class and to participate actively in the discussions. In fact, class participation is considered to be such an important factor in determining grades that a significant portion of the total course weightage is allocated to it. This system is in place to encourage students to be engaged in the learning process and to ensure that they are taking full advantage of the educational opportunities available to them. On the other hand, at IIT Kanpur, there is a more relaxed approach to attendance. While it is still advisable to attend classes and to be present for lectures, there is no strict requirement in place. This gives students more flexibility and allows them to choose when they want to attend classes based on their personal schedules or other commitments. It also means that engineering students are not penalized if they miss a class or two, as long as they are able to make up for it by participating in other ways, such as completing assignments or preparing for exams. Overall, both B-schools and Engineering colleges have different approaches to attendance and class participation. While IIM Ahmedabad places a strong emphasis on being present in class and participating actively, IIT Kanpur takes a more relaxed approach. Ultimately, the choice between the two institutions will depend on the individual student's preferences and learning style.

How are IIM A students different from students of, say, SP Jain, NMIMS, FMS or JB?

The peer pool of IIM Ahmedabad varies from that of other B-schools like SP Jain, FMS, and NMIMS because of the admission criteria and quality of intake. The majority of the IIM Ahmedabad batch comprises performing students with CAT percentile almost touching 100 percentile. and most of them got close to the 100 percentile in CAT and they get opportunities to study business studies in IIM A, B, and C. Very few students get into IIMs through the process of diversification only if they scored more than 80 percent grade in Xth, XII th and Graduate Examinations. The other B schools like SP Jain, FMS, NMIMS, or JB don’t have such strict criteria and the peer pool comprises students from diverse academic profiles rather than just top CAT rankers. This is the major point of difference between the two kinds of B Schools. As a result of this, IIM Ahmedabad students are offered better placement opportunities at the global level than these average B-schools.

How much percentile do I need to get a call from MDI Gurgaon, IMT Ghaziabad, IIM K, SP Jain, NITIE?

To secure admission to top MBA institutes in India, you should aim for CAT percentiles from 85 onwards. Here's the order of the institutes you should target in descending order - IIM K with 97+ percentile, MDI with 96+, IMT Ghaziabad with 90+, SPJain with 85+, and NITIE with as high as possible sectional-wise. Even though SPJain is a premier institute, it gives a call from the 85 percentile onward, since they focus on overall values that an individual possesses and want students with more values in them. They have 2 group interviews, so they follow a rejection procedure. NITIE has a sectional cutoff, so it's advisable to have as high as possible sectional-wise, as many people with an overall CAT percentile in the range of 97-98 were not selected in either of their 2 programs(PGDM and PGDIESM) in 2016. IIM K also has a sectional cutoff of 90+, so it's important to score well in each section. It's worth noting that these institutes do not have a sectional cutoff, but it's always advisable to have a 90+ sectional percentile to be on the safer side. Aim for high percentile and sectional scores to improve your chances of securing a seat in these prestigious institutes.

How is the PGDM marketing program at SPJIMR? Also, can you shed light on the placement scenario as well?

The SPJIMR PGDM Marketing program is similar to top B Schools like IIM ABC. The key highlights of the same program are listed below. Please note these are not generic and are specifically related to the Marketing program. Curriculum: The curriculum is almost exactly what is taught at elite B Schools. The relevancy of the curriculum is maintained through unique programs like GFT wherein a 3-week immersion at some of the finest universities of the USA takes place. A very interesting program called ‘A day in the life of a Salesman’ is a much talked about program at SPJIMR. In this, you will get to shadow a salesman from a reputed FMCG company so that you understand the techniques of sales and distribution. Pedagogy: The pedagogy adopted is usually a case-based approach. Mostly Harvard cases are used to strike discussions in the classrooms. Additionally, live projects are conducted by various visiting companies. Such initiatives help formulate an effective pedagogy. Faculty: The faculty is a great combination of professors with theoretical knowledge and industry experts. All are highly competent in their respective fields. Batch: The diversity of the batch can be looked up on the official website by checking the profiles of the Marketing batch specifically. Usually, the crowd is diverse and has an overall good profile. Placements: The placement statistics can be checked on the official website. The figures are inflated but can be used for comparison purposes only.

How is the information management PGDM program in SPJIMR?

SPJIMR Information Management PGDM program is suitable for those who want to shift from technical IT to management and business roles. This unique course is updated annually to keep up with the latest developments in the IT field and is on par with the best B-schools around the world. The faculty at SPJIMR are highly dedicated and valued for their academic excellence and business backgrounds. In addition to classroom courses, IM students learn from industry visits, guest lectures from corporate gurus and CXOs, and live projects designed to facilitate the use of theory in practice. At SPJIMR, peer learning is highly effective, and there is a collaborative culture in place. Students are selected based on merit, and the competition is stiff due to the high quality of peers. Most IM students come with expertise in various domains, and they work together as a team on activities such as the Cross Course Project, which is a platform to piece together all learnings from the IM coursework and consult on a real IT business challenge. The placement opportunities available in the IM specialization are regarded as a valuable benefit, and SPJIMR attracts top-tier firms like Microsoft, Amazon, Flipkart, HCL, GE, Make My Trip, Capgemini, Cognizant Business Consulting, Deloitte, and many more. The roles open for the IM area include IT consulting, Business Development, Product Management, and General Management in IT companies and e-Commerce majors, and Corporate IT roles (CIO growth path) in IT user companies. The advantage of the IM specialization is that both you and the firms find yourselves in a win-win situation when it comes to mapping skills versus roles.

What should be my specialization choice in SPJIMR application if I am interested in management consulting?

Let me make this clear, there is no fixed specialization that will help you make it into counseling. For working professionals: Companies that visit the campus for placements usually prefer Finance and Operations background. People with a technological background opt for tech consulting while many go for Sales and Operations consulting as well. The companies are not interested in specialization, rather they look for how good your CV is. So, we can say a guy from a pure manufacturing background who is currently studying marketing can also make it into consulting. For freshers: The best specialization to choose to make it into a big consulting firm for a fresher is Finance. The concepts included in the Finance specialization are more connected with consulting. So if your area of interest covers both, Finance and Consulting, then opt for Finance while the target for consulting. As far as Operations is concerned, it’s not easy to get admission. Even if you do the chances are lower unless you do internships and projects. Lastly, remember there is no direct relation between the choice of specialization and placements. Even if you fail to get into your desired company, know that it is not the end. You can slowly achieve your goal provided you are certain of it and are working hard towards achieving it.

What is the objective of admitting freshers in Ivy B-Schools like IIMs, FMS, JBIMS, SIMSREE, SPJIMR, XLRI, etc.?

MBA admission in Indian B Schools is a fairly weird process in comparison to that of foreign B Schools. In India, the admission process requires a candidate to have some work experience and in certain B-schools, it even carries a certain weightage. But during Final Placements, this scenario changes entirely as the recruiters prefer freshers over experienced candidates. The major reasons for this contrast are: The recruiters offering Marketing roles are on the lookout for candidates who can initially go through a sales job for a few years. They believe that the route to Marketing is through sales only. Now Sales requires a lot of traveling that too to rural areas. The recruiters know that these tough job conditions cannot be undertaken by Experienced professionals and thus prefer freshers who they can mold easily. The companies offering Finance roles know that the candidates with prior work experience won’t be working for the long hours they require them to. So they prefer freshers who can work long hours without complaining. Recruiters are looking for candidates with work experience of not more than 11-12 months. Honestly, this strategy is illogical as a person with more work experience is bound to excel much better than a fresher, and restricting him from getting a job just because they cannot be exploited to the fullest extent is a bit cruel. The scenario is pretty much the opposite in foreign countries that prefer MBA candidates with work experience only. This is because in India MBA is considered a way to become more employable or earn a fatter cheque. Whereas in the West, it is a means to upgrade your career and take it to new heights. The entire concept of MBA is at fault in India thereby this illogical strategy. In my opinion, MBA candidates should have a work experience of at least 1 year, only then they can harness the MBA program to the fullest and not approach it just as a source of placements.

What are the chances of getting a job in Dubai post an MBA from SPJIMR Mumbai? What is the kind of profiles students from SPJIMR get (in Dubai)?

Your skill set is the most important factor that determines your employability in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. This skill set is something that you can develop over time with experience. Keep in mind that there are very few opportunities for freshers from SPJIMR post an MBA, although IIM-K is a separate case. If you are a Keralite or a Malayali, the UAE may be another option to consider. Recruiters in the GCC region will always prefer someone who knows Arabic, French, or other foreign languages. This is something that you can work on and improve over time. After a few years of solid work experience, your chances of getting a job in the GCC region are higher. However, keep in mind that recruiters have plenty of options to choose from when it comes to hiring, especially for jobs that require cheap labor from Asian countries. In the Middle East, your experience matters a lot, as well as your ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment. You need to be able to adapt quickly and work efficiently to succeed. It's important to note that Western nationalities also have an edge in the Gulf job market. If a company has the option to choose between a Marketing person with similar skill sets, an average-looking Indian guy, and a Western-style icon with a model-like personality, they will most likely choose the latter. This is because most jobs in the Gulf require excellent communication skills, a little bit of relevant experience, and a Driving License.

Can the MBA specialization be changed at SPJIMR after the first year?

Yes, it is possible to change your MBA specialization at SPJIMR after the first year, but it is not a common occurrence. However, if you are looking to switch from Marketing to Finance, it is highly improbable but still possible to convince the management. It's important to keep in mind that Finance is a specialization that requires a basic background in financial knowledge, which is not always the case for Marketing. This means that changing from Marketing to Finance may be harder for the management to accept than the other way around. It's also important to note that some students have been rejected when requesting to change their specialization. If you have a financial background, it's possible that you initially tried to get into the finance specialization at SPJIMR but were accepted for your second preference of Marketing. If this is the case, it may be difficult to convince the management to switch your specialization in the second year. However, if you excel in finance subjects in the first year, it may be possible to convince them otherwise.

Dislikes

Sports facilities are shared with other colleges under Bhavans Trust
Only the academic block is exclusive to SPJIMR, other parts of the campus is common for other institutes within the Bhavan's College.

Admission:

All the eligibility details are available on the official website of SPJIMR- https://www.spjimr.org/course/post-graduate-diploma-in-management-pgdm/admissions/. The admission process had a Written Ability Test which was followed by two rounds of Group Interviews. The first round of GI was technical and the second was a personality-based discussion. There is no reservation as such in SPJIMR.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The faculty at SPJIMR is top-notch. The classes are discussion-based and not monologue. The academics are just rigorous enough. It's application based so rote learning takes a back seat here. One has to be attentive and participative in classes to do well in academics. Very few to none actually fail and have to repeat the first year. Although the grades are relative, one has to ensure that they are not at the bottom in every course to be able to pass year 1.

SPJIMR- a dream come true

The application form and the process is available on the SPJIMR website. I applied before my CAT and got a call around the second week of January for the score cum profile-based criteria. I did not avail of any reservation process. The whole interview process was conducted online and was smooth end-to-end.

I chose PGDM in Marketing at SPJIMR as it is one of the best known in the country. There are around 15 faculty and 64 students in the batch of 2021-23. All faculty are doctorates and have considerable industry experience as well. We have 6 trimesters each lasting around 3 months and are of moderate difficulty.

SP Jain: An MBA student's dream

With innovative management programmes, SP Jain Mumbai is one of a kind. The GMAT/NMAT/CAT/XAT results, as well as a group interview and a personal interview, are used to determine course entrance. A minimum of four years of work experience is required. CAT cut offs depend on year to year, but are in excess of 90 percentile.

SPJIMR's courses have international accreditations. Strong industrial engagement also implies a creative curriculum. The professors are usually helpful and supportive. They are professional and experienced and teach very well. The online infrastructure and library is top notch. All books, journals and research papers are made available to us.

SPJIMR Review

I applied for the course online, filling out the application form and paying the application fee. I applied for admission in the general category. To be admitted to this college, you must have a high CAT/GMAT score and participate in the interview process.

Year 1 covers all of the fundamentals that will help us understand more, while Year 2 will teach us about the specialisations we chose. There have been no guest speakers to date, despite the fact that many educational seminars have been held. The majority of the teaching methods involved lectures without the use of books or any other source material, followed by presentations. Professors have extensive teaching experience and expertise.

SP Jain: The best college in Mumbai

Choose this college because it is one of the best colleges in Maharastra for Management courses. The admission eligibility for this course is that you must have a minimum of 50% marks in your graduation and pass the CAT (Common Admission Test) entrance exam.

Our staff is great, and our experienced professors have substantial expertise. The exams are held on schedule, and you need to only concentrate well in classes, in order to score well. Exams were not tough to pass; CAT was the only one that was challenging, while taking admission.

My College Review

I had applied for B-schools based on their rankings, so top 10-12. SPJIMR is one of them. There was no quota here and the application was purely merit and CAT score based. There were two ways of getting calls for interviews – profile-based (Exceptional all-around profile) and the usual CAT score based. Though in all cases the min criteria were 85%tile overall and 75%tile in each QA, LRDI, VARC for the call to be valid. SPJIMR has this unique admission process comprising a writing ability test and psychometric test followed by two rounds of group interviews.

I chose it, due to my relevant work-ex and my willingness to build on my business acumen on top of the technical knowledge I had gained. The faculty: student ratio was a healthy one I’d say and all the faculty members were either highly academicians or industry stalwarts who moved into academics later on. They have a unique value-based approach to imparting learning that helps an all-around development of an MBA professional. Exams were spaced out with a lot of assignments and quizzes every now and then. Easy to pass as concepts were tested rather than mugged up knowledge.

SPJIMR- One of the educational gems of India.

The institute accepts scores of CAT and GMAT. The sectional cutoff for both the exams is around 75%ile as well as the overall cutoff is 85%ile. Students also need to apply to Institute specific, the registration of which begins in September itself. It is advised to regularly check for the application window. I preferred this very institute due to its supreme aspects which includes excellent pedagogy, faculty and great placements. It also has its location advantage. Besides, the campus is extremely scenes with a beautiful lake. The selection criteria also include work experience, extracurricular achievements, past academic records, personality test, WAT and two group PIs.

The course is designed on a trimester basis. Exams are strictly adhering to a pre-scheduled and revised time table. The faculty-student ratio is 18:1. The faculty includes PhD holders and industry experts. The guest faculty is an erudite one.

My two most worthy years at SPJIMR!

Good aspects include its location, faculty, pedagogy and placements. The bad aspects include fewer annual fests and hectic sessions. I preferred SPJain over other colleges due to its good aspects. The admission process includes scores of CAT and GMAT, overall profile, work experience, achievements and versatility as well as academic performance. The overall cut off for both the entrance exam is 85%ile. The application starts from the month of September itself.

The course has 6 terms-3 in each year. In the first year students are taught core subjects, as well as few electives and the second year, consists of specialization subjects, an International Immersion program called Global Fast Track Program as well as internships. The Global Fast track Program occurs in association with Cornell University, Michigan State University and Mellon University. The student-faculty ratio is 17:1. The faculty is rich and erudite.
