Frequently Asked Questions
SPJIMR Mumbai's most popular program is PGDM (Business Management). It is a two-year, full-time program where you stay on campus. The institute also runs programs for social enterprise, family business, and working executives. If you are a CAT or GMAT student, the PGDM-BM is the program you should target.
SPJIMR builds global exposure into its PGDM program. Students go on international trips and work with global faculty and partner universities. The institute also accepts GMAT Focus Edition scores, which makes it open to international students. If you want a fully overseas MBA, you can also look at IIM programs or ISB Hyderabad that accept GMAT.
SPJIMR does not have a separate course just for business analytics. But the PGDM-BM program includes analytics and data thinking as part of the regular curriculum. If you specifically want to study analytics, you may want to also check NMIMS Mumbai or some IIM programs that have analytics as a full specialisation.
SPJIMR has executive education programs for people who are already working. These are different from the regular PGDM-BM program. Students and alumni often say good things about the teaching quality, the professional network, and the real-world exposure. For the PGDM-BM specifically, the residential campus life is mentioned a lot as a highlight.
More than 100 companies come to SPJIMR for internship hiring. These include top consulting firms like McKinsey, BCG, and Bain. FMCG companies like HUL, P&G, and ITC also hire from here. Other sectors include banking (Axis, HDFC), technology (Amazon, Google), and e-commerce. Internships are usually two months long and many of them turn into full-time job offers.
The lowest CAT score SP Jain accepts is 85 percentile overall. In each section (VARC, DILR, QA), you need at least 75 percentile. But to actually get an interview call, most students who are selected score 88 to 92 percentile or above. Crossing the cut-off only puts you in the running. A strong profile is what gets you the call.
Getting into SP Jain Mumbai is not easy. It is one of the harder business schools to crack outside the IIMs. The reason is that they check your whole profile, not just your test score. You need good marks throughout school and college, a competitive CAT or GMAT score, and something extra, like activities, work, or achievements. The two rounds of interviews make it even more competitive. But if you prepare well, it is very much possible.
The highest pay package offered at SPJIMR has gone above INR 50 LPA in past batches. These top offers usually come from consulting, investment banking, or global technology companies. These are the best offers and not what most students get. The average package of INR 20 to 24 LPA is a better picture of what a typical student earns after graduating.
SP Jain Mumbai has around 240 seats in the PGDM (Business Management) program for each batch. Because the number of seats is small and many students apply, the selection is very competitive. Only a small percentage of applicants finally get a seat.
SPJIMR is known for very high placement rates. The institute regularly reports near-100% placement in its official communications. However, you should always check the official SPJIMR placement report for the exact numbers. The highest and average packages also change every year based on the batch and the job market.
