What is the admission process of SPJIMR, Mumbai?

DS
Devendra Singh Posted On : March 15th, 2023
Studied at SPJIMR

SPJIMR has a unique approach to candidate selection, where calls are given based on the applicant's overall profile, including past academic scores, extracurricular activities, leadership skills, and other factors. More than merely achieving a certain percentile is required to guarantee admission, and even candidates with 99+ percentiles can be rejected. Shortlisting is based on evaluating profiles, and applicants are sorted into two groups: Profile-based and Profile-cum-Score-based.

Candidates are then evaluated on various factors, such as academic background, work experience, entrance scores, versatility, and achievements, to determine their suitability for admission.

After the initial shortlisting, applicants must fill out a more descriptive form. To avoid scheduling conflicts with other business school interviews, it is recommended that applicants take advantage of this opportunity and attend the interview.

The selection process involves a psychometric test, a group interview 1 focusing on academic qualifications, work experience, and extracurricular activities, and a group interview 2 assessing candidates' values and ethics. Honesty and confidence are crucial for success, as any attempt to fake it will likely be detected.

Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
All three institutes, JBIMS, S.P. Jain, and NITIE are well-known for their operations management programs. JBIMS is known for its rigorous academic curriculum and its location advantage in Mumbai, which is a hub for supply chain and logistics companies. SPJIMR is known for its innovative approach to teaching and its close ties with the industry, which allows students to gain hands-on experience through live projects and internships. NITIE is a specialized institute that focuses solely on operations management and has a strong alumni network in the industry.

Choosing the best institute for an operations management program depends on various factors such as the curriculum, faculty, location, placements, and overall reputation. It is recommended to research thoroughly about each institute, connect with alumni, and attend admission sessions to make an informed decision. However, NITIE is highly recommended for pursuing an operations specialization.

What are the chances of getting into XLRI/SPJIMR if I have 1.5 years of work experience that's not relevant to the MBA specialisation?

SP
Shraddha Phalke Posted On : March 15th, 2023
MBA in Marketing & Finance, Management Development Institute, Gurgaon (Graduated 2018)

 In XLRI or SPJIMR, having relevant work experience is not a requirement for admission. Having 1.5 years of experience in a different field will not give you an advantage or disadvantage during placements as candidates with less than 2 years of experience are considered the same as freshers. Moreover, any work experience is valuable and can contribute to your MBA education as it's not limited to specific areas such as Marketing or Finance.

In SPJIMR, if you opt for Finance as your specialization, relevant experience may slightly enhance your profile. However, for other specializations, you will have to compete with other candidates on an equal footing.

All the aforementioned colleges are among the best B Schools in India so the choice between them depends on your preference and future prospects. You need to determine what exactly you want from the program and where your career currently is.
