CAT

There are 2 ways of selection-
1) Profile Based Calls - Here they call you based on your profile as CAT results are not out by that time. However, the criteria here is that you need a minimum of 85 percentile overall and a sectional of 70 percentile in all sections, else your call becomes invalid. Also, you can get a call based on the GMAT score for which the minimum percentile required is 650.
For profile based calls, SPJIMR closely observes your academics, achievements, extra-curricular activities and relevant work experience.
Now for profile based, even though the cut-off is 85 percentile for CAT, selections are possible only with a 93-95% percentile score and a 680-690 min on GMAT.
2) Score Based Calls - Once the results are declared - Calls are made on basis of CAT, XAT and GMAT scores. A 95-97 on CAT/XAT and a 700 on GMAT should be good enough.

SPJIMR offers 4 specialisations: Marketing, Operations, Information Management and Finance.

Ops & IM need relevant work experience.
Marketing and finance needn't require work experience.
Although, having work experience in the relevant field is a big boost.
