What is the admission process of SPJIMR, Mumbai?
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.
