Shortlisted applicants are evaluated as either Profile-based or Profile-cum-Score-based, with the overall assessment weighing academic background (consistency across Class 10, Class 12 and every year of graduation), the relevance of any work experience to the chosen specialisation, meeting the minimum qualifying entrance-exam cutoff, and versatility and achievements across diverse fields of interest. International applicants are additionally assessed on 'emotional readiness' - including work experience, extra-curricular involvement and fit with SPJIMR's mission of value-based leadership - and must apply for a Student Visa valid for more than 180 days, registering with the FRO/FRRO in Mumbai within 14 days of arrival where applicable.
