The difference is there because SPJIMR includes some additional components in the calculation of MEP. You will also find a difference in the median as well. While taking admission in SPJIMR you will not face any reservation, you will get a good location and small batch size for good placement as well. But while in placements the top companies don’t visit SPIKMR which then visits IIM which results in lower average placements in SPJIMR. One also has to wait for 2 years to get the Indian placement reporting standards to compare the audited mean.
