Work Experience Based Diversity
A few years of work experience has proven to be a plus point for a candidate seeking admission in SP Jain.

Autumn Placements
SP Jain students undergo internships in autumn (after the 3rd semester) instead of summer internships at the end of the first year (i.e. after 2nd semester). This is due to the reason that only the basic courses are taught in the first year while a project requires some level of specialized knowledge. The number of pre-placement offers (PPOs) and pre-placement interviews (PPIs) as an outcome of autumn internship has consistently been more than 50 % over the years.

Some statistics of the latest Autumn Placements for the year 2014 have been given below.

  1. I am a fresher.So, should I avoid SPJIMR? Since, it can be seen that they give more importance to work-ex. And,should I apply,then at what percentile do I have a chance?

     
    • A Ghosh, you should certainly apply to SPJIMR even if you’re a fresher. One of the reasons why freshers comprise of only 9% of the batch is the complexity of the round 2 of selection. Seasoned professionals, who’re working in a corporate setup, generally perform better in the group interviews. But, it eventually boils down to how well you perform.

      The call cut-off for SPJIMR, last year, went down till 94%ile in CAT and 92%ile in XAT. However, you should be aiming at a percentile in access of 98 to be safe (also depends on how good your past academic scores are).

       
    • Sujoy, I intended to write 98%ile. Please pardon my typo, which I have corrected now.
      SPIMR gives out two types of calls – Profile Based and Percentile Based. Profile based calls consider your academic profile and work experience. Profile based calls can go to as low as 93-94%ile.

      Otherwise, a 98+ should make you hopeful for the percentile based calls.

       
  2. hello sir
    if my score will be 90%ile, then should i get call from sp jain institute?
    however, i have work experience, 70% & 60% in class-12 and graduation respectively.

     
    • Gaurav, a GMAT score in excess of 650 will make you eligible for a call. Students are not required to take the IELTS or TOEFL exam. However, if you wish to study at SP Jain, Sydney, you have to take the IELTS exam for obtaining the Australian student visa.

       
  3. Hello Sir,
    Do they stress more on extra-curricular activities ? Is it worth applying if one doesn’t have much to show in the extra -curricular domain?

     
    • Sourav, to an extent, yes, SP Jain does stress on extra-curricular activities. But, it boils down to how well you can present, in the interview, those one or two extra-curricular activities that you may have. If you have good academic scores and a good percentile, it is highly unlikely that you won’t be called for the interview. You must apply to SP Jain.

       
  4. Hi Sir,

    I have represented my state and university in TT. Acads-X-81,XII-88,B,Tech-8.43, 3 yrs(IT) work-ex. At what percentile can I expect a call?
    And at what %ile would there be a realistic chance of making it?

    Thanks,

    Dev

     
  5. Profile (10th – 86, 12th – 73, Btech – 64) extra-curriculars- avg to sufficient, work – ex – 30months by Dec 2015 (24 – Infosys , 6 – electrical co.) . I want to apply for SPJAIN marketing /fin. At what percentile I will have a fair chance of getting a call (Last year cat score – 96.28)

     
    • Sir,
      10th-96%, 12th-85%,B.E- 84%, Average to good in co-curriculars, 18 months of work-ex in Supply chain(Manufacturing) in ITC. What percentile would probably fetch me a call from S.P. Jain.

       
      • Munna, an overall percentile of above 94-95 would definitely get you a SP Jain call. Your profile is good enough for an SP Jain convert. You must start preparing for the round 2 as soon as possible.

         
  6. sir, is it true that s.p. jain selects on the basis of work-ex and past academic record? since I’m a fresher and even my acad record isn’t that great so should I apply for it or not?

     
    • Tanya, SP Jain gives out two types of calls – Profile based and Score Based. For the profile based calls, work-ex and past academic record is of the utmost importance. However, for the score based calls it is more important to present your positive aspects during the interview. There, the lack the work-ex and the poor academic record can be logically explained in the interview.

       
  7. Hello Sir, I have 90+ in xth and xii th. 79% in B.Tech and currently working in a public sector enterprise (30 months of work experience in total).I have been a part of an NGO during my college days and also actively participated in many sports activities. Do I stand a chance for a call through profile based selection?
