SPJIMR Shortlisting Process: Profile-Based vs. Score-Based Calls ~ Unlike most CAT-based B-schools, SPJIMR follows a dual shortlisting mechanism:
Profile-Based Shortlist: Candidates with outstanding academic records (10th, 12th, and graduation), strong work experience, and notable extra-curricular achievements can get shortlisted early — provided they clear the minimum CAT/GMAT cutoff.- Profile-cum-Score-Based Shortlist: Released after CAT/GMAT results are declared, this list weighs entrance scores together with the overall candidate profile.
