SPJIMR Selection Process for Two-Year MBA Program
SPJIMR’s Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) is a two-year flagship program that is considered equivalent to MBA. SPJIMR accepts both CAT and GMAT for its full-time 2-year MBA Program. Those who are willing to apply through the GMAT can do so by taking the test before the stipulated time mentioned on the official college website. This article will show you how your GMAT Score & profile should be during the SPJIMR selection process.
Firstly let’s have a look at the selection process.
In SPJIMR’s selection process, the applicants are shortlisted based on their profiles. The applicants need to fulfil the below-mentioned criteria and also achieve the qualifying score in at least one entrance exam.
Once you apply on the college website, the profiles are scored and shortlisted into two groups. Profile-based and Profile Cum Score based.
Factors Considered In The Selection Process Of SPJIMR:
- Overall Profile
- Academic Background
- Work Experience
- Score in Entrance Exam
- Extra-curriculars and Achievements
As I mentioned before, the shortlisting of applications are divided into two groups: Profile Based and Profile Cum Score based.
Profile Based:
The applicants are shortlisted under the profile overview. If you have the best academic background and achievements in your profile, you need a minimum percentile in GMAT.
Check out the minimum percentile required in GMAT for profile-based shortlisted candidates.
| Entrance Test | Sectional | Overall | |

Profile Cum Score Based:
The second group is shortlisted on the profile cum score based. In this process of selection, the following factors are considered.
- Consistency of academic record
- Work experience
- Versatility and achievements
- Score in the entrance exams like GMAT
Here the score in entrance exams is mainly considered for the selection process, and a score of 700 in GMAT is the safe score for the applicants shortlisted in the second group, i.e. profile cum score group.
(The score range of the GMAT is from 200 to 800. There is no passing score in this GMAT exam. Every college has its minimum qualifying score to shortlist the applicants.)
