Disclaimer:

Admission to the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) programme at S. P. Jain Institute of Management & Research (SPJIMR) is strictly based on merit. We do not have any management quota. The assessment of an applicant is on the basis of his/her profile, meeting the qualifying scores in either GMAT, CAT or XAT and the interview process. The detailed criteria can be viewed on our website www.spjimr/org/pgdm/admissions/international.

SPJIMR communicates directly with all the shortlisted candidates. Under no circumstances will SPJIMR appoint an intermediary (whether an individual or organization) to approach any candidate with claims of confirmed admission, for a fee or otherwise. In case you or your parents receive offers from intermediaries, we recommend that you do not get involved in such transactions.

SELECTION PROCESS

Once the admissions begin for PGDM, the profile of international candidates will be assessed as and when the applications are submitted. Candidates are assessed on the basis of their intellectual readiness (academics) and also on emotional readiness. Emotional readiness includes work experience, extra-curricular activities and aptitude for and befitting the Institute’s mission of promoting value-based leadership.

The benefit of this process is that students will not have to wait for a long time after applying online.

This would help accelerate the selection process, helping applicants as well as the Institute manage the entire process effectively.
