SPJIMR PGDM Selection Process

SPJIMR uses a profile-based and profile-cum-score-based shortlisting process. Candidates must also meet the qualifying requirements for at least one accepted entrance examination.

The institute considers factors including:

SPJIMR PGDM Cutoff: Use Previous Figures Carefully

The source copy includes 75 sectional and 85 overall percentile figures for domestic applicants as a reference from the 2025–26 cycle. These figures should not be presented as the confirmed 2027–29 cutoff. If retained, label them clearly as previous-cycle reference figures and direct applicants to the latest admission information for the applicable 2027–29 requirements.

SPJIMR PGDM 2027-29 Programme Fee

The application fee and programme fee should not be confused. SPJIMR's current fee page lists the PGDM programme fee for Indian participants at ₹24.86 lakh, inclusive of tuition and basic hostel/accommodation, while noting that the amount is indicative and subject to revision. The international participant fee is listed separately. For a news article focused on admissions opening, this can be included as a separate context box if desired, but it should be clearly labelled as the current indicative programme fee, rather than the application fee.

1. Check the eligibility requirements.
2. Arrange a valid CAT or GMAT score/examination registration.
3. Prepare academic and other application documents.

5. Complete the online application before November 27, 2026.
6. Keep the application confirmation and payment details for future reference.
