SPJIMR Selection Criteria 2020- Admissions Process

Applicants must fill out the application form and select from one of the four specialisations offered: Finance, Information Management, Marketing and Operations & Supply Chain. The applicant can choose upto two specialisations out of the four offered and give their order of preference.

Candidates must meet the minimum exam score cut-offs set by the institute to be eligible for the admissions process at SPJIMR. The table below lists out the minimum CAT, XAT and GMAT cut-offs in order to be eligible for a shortlist call from SPJIMR Mumbai.

If candidates meet the minimum cut-offs, they can become eligible for the second phase of the admissions process at SPJIMR, i.e., profile-based calls. To be eligible for a profile-based call from SPJIMR in 2020, candidates must:

1. Show consistently excellent academic record throughout SSC, HSC and graduation.

2. Have relevant work experience for the specialization they have chosen. Candidates must have work experience in the range of 0-60 months (0-5 years) and not more than that. Only Relevant work experience after graduation will be considered. Internship/training/project work which was a part of the curriculum will not be considered as work experience.

3. Display versatility and remarkable extra-curricular achievements.

Candidates not shortlisted via profile-based calls will receive profile-cum-score-based calls, depending on their performance in CAT/XAT/GMAT and their overall academic profile.

The final list of candidates will be created by taking into account the applicant’s profile, academic record, entrance test scores (CAT/XAT/GMAT), the relevance of work experience (if any), performance in the Written Ability Test and the two rounds of group interviews.
