SPJIMR accepts CAT 2013, XAT 2014 and GMAT scores (test taken between 2011-2013) as well. A total of 36 seats above the sanctioned intake are available for PIOs and foreign nationals. Choice of Specialisation at the Time of Application “We equip, enable and empower our students to contribute to society. That is undoubtedly our aim.” - Dr.Sesha Iyer, Director, SPJIMR The programme offers four specialisations –Information Management, Operations, Marketing and Finance. Ÿ SPJIMR's PGDM programme asks applicants to select their specialisation at the application stage itself. A choice at this stage helps Ÿ Achieve segmentation at the time of admission based on differentiated need of the recruiting organisations Ÿ Participants develop a clear and sharp focus early on in the programme Ÿ Broaden the spectrum of recruiters as participants graduate Ÿ Avoid overcrowding in one specialisation and mitigates the risk of periodic downturns across sectors THE SELECTION PROCESS Strong Focus on Values The selection process of SPJIMR assesses not only intellectual readiness in terms of academics but also emotional readiness, work experience, extracurricular activities and aptitude for and befitting the Institute's mission of value-based leadership.
