Hi,
Candidates need to have a minimum score in one of the MBA Entrance Exams namely: GMAT [minimum 550] or GRE [minimum 300] or CAT [minimum 80 percentile] in order to be eligible.
GMAT: Verbal
Entrance Test: Sectional
An applicant should have a Bachelor's degree or equivalent (10+2+3) from a recognized university. Students in the final year of graduation can also apply.
Work experience is not mandatory for this program. Fresh graduates and those with up to 5 years of work experience can apply.
At the application stage the candidate needs to opt for two specializations. Applicants who are not shortlisted for the first option maybe considered for the second option.
Based on their profiles, the candidates are sorted into two shortlists; first phase and second phase shortlist.
Applicants are shortlisted in the first phase list based on their profile. The second shortlist is based on their profile along with their performance in the entrance tests.
These shortlisted candidates go through two rounds of group interviews. Final Merit List is based on a composite score, which takes into account the candidate’s academic record, entrance test scores, relevance of work experience (if any) and performance in the two rounds of interviews.
Hope this helps
Wish you luck

how to fill the form of spjiimr using gmat 720
Hello Aspirant,
Hope you are doing well.
You may submit your application form even if you do not know the results of the entrance test; nevertheless, you will need to provide your exam registration number precisely. It is possible that you will not have received your CAT/GMAT results by the time you submit the form; however, this is not anticipated. Applicants who have completed an application form will be able to access it again in order to amend their entrance test scores once the CAT results have been announced.
In order to apply, candidates must complete an application form and choose one of the four specialisations available: finance, information management, marketing, and operations and supply chain management. The candidate may choose up to two specialisations from among the four options available and rank them in order of preference.
Candidates must achieve the minimal exam score cut-offs established by the institution in order to be considered for admission to the SPJIMR programme.
Hope you got the answer to your question. Incase of any queries, feel free to question. Have a great day!
