GMBA Admission Requirements and Guidelines

1. This being a post-graduate program you must be a graduate to apply.
   
   
   
2. You need to have done an aptitude test. We consider GMAT or CAT scores. If you have not taken any and are not planning to do so, you must take an aptitude test conducted by S.P Jain. If you have taken one of the above mentioned aptitude tests you may also take our aptitude test, if you so desire. We will consider the best score.
   
   
3. You will not be short listed for evaluations until and unless you have a score on your records to show us.
   
   
4. The admissions team selects candidates based on consistent and high academic performance (we usually expect students to have a first class all through their academics), quality and rigor of the under graduate studies, relevant work experience, demonstrated leadership qualities, analytical abilities, communication skills and other personality traits.
   
   
5. A student needs to submit only one application but has been given the choice of applying for 2 specializations in a single application. In fact duplication of applications may lead to a student's form/admission being disqualified.
   
   
6. Admission is offered only for a specific stream of specialization and stream change requests are not granted. The candidate is evaluated with reference to the stream applied for.
   
   
7. The Global MBA is designed for participants who have prior work experience. Normally full time work experience of 3 years or more is required but a small percentage of students with 2 years maybe also considered. Further relevant post-graduate qualifications like CA for the finance streams are given preference.
   
   
8. A small percentage of the batch is reserved for those with a family business or who desire to become an entrepreneur or are taking a sabbatical/leave of absence from their present employers, with a commitment to rejoin them. Please tick the relevant box in the application form. Such candidates are not part of our placement services. Once admitted under "non-placements" it is not possible to change to "placements" later.
   
   
9. It is very important for all candidates to read carefully the entire catalog of our Global MBA (November intake) 2009 program and note that it is a residential (compulsory) program conducted jointly at Dubai and Singapore with Sydney being optional. We also highlight that it is a very intensive and rigorous program. Please carefully read the procedures and follow the steps. You may call us if instructions are not clear or you have a unique issue.
