Global MBA: Admissions Process

• Submit your application online.
• Candidates only need to submit one application. 
• As a student of the GMBA program, you can either choose electives across different areas and develop a cross-functional perspective or specialise in any one functional area of management. You need not indicate your choice at the application stage; you may do so within a month after course commencement. Upon arrival on the campus, you will undergo a briefing by the dean of the program, area heads and members of the corporate relations team to help you make an informed decision.
• If you do not desire placement services or are taking a leave of absence from your present employer (with a commitment to re-join them), mark the relevant box in the application form. Candidates accepted under ‘non-placements’ cannot change to ‘placement’ category.
• Applications are considered on a rolling basis (i.e. evaluated when they are received); so, the sooner you apply, the better your chances are for being selected.

APTITUDE/ENTRANCE TEST SCORE REQUIREMENTS

• SP Jain requires candidates to take one of the following aptitude tests: GMAT, GRE, CAT (Common Admission Test – offered in India) or SPJAT (SP Jain Aptitude Test), and obtain the minimum expected test score as specified in the Postgraduate Admission and Selection Policy to be considered for admissions.
  
  
  • GMAT (Appeared in last 5 years)
  • GRE (Appeared in last 5 years)
  • CAT (Appeared in last 2 years)
  • SPJAT (Appeared in last 2 years)
• Candidates may apply even if they have not yet taken the aptitude test, or if their scores are pending. However, candidates will not be shortlisted for evaluation until they submit final test scores. SP Jain accepts the best score from the stated tests.
• Candidates who do not meet the aptitude test score requirements may be considered for interview subject to the decision of the Director of Admission/Registrar.
• If you do not have a valid GMAT/GRE or CAT score, you may appear for the SPJAT. The registration fee payable would be USD 40.

• The School establishes a shortlist of potential applicants based on the following:
  
  
  • Past academic performance and other achievements
  • Past work experience
  • English language proficiency to ensure successful participation
  • Outcomes and scores of aptitude tests
• All shortlisted applicants will be notified in writing by the School that their application has proceeded to the shortlist for admission.
• As part of the final stage of applicant evaluation, all shortlisted candidates will be required to undertake:
  
  
  • An Essay and Case Analysis Discussion Paper
  • SP Jain "Business Creativity Test"
  • A personal interview at one of the School's campuses or online with a member of the School's academic staff. The interview is designed to assess the applicant's communication skills, analytical skills, aptitude and subject knowledge.
• Candidates are required to pay a non-refundable evaluation fee of USD 50.

Applicants are emailed an admission decision approximately within 14 days after the evaluation interviews.
