Editor's notes

The Class of 2027 cycle has closed; the Final Phase deadline was Sept. 15, 2026. If you're reading this now, you're applying for the next batch, and SPJIMR says applications generally open in April. Use the time for the test. A GMAT or CAT score is required, and the GRE isn't on the list.
Your file is mostly documents, so the documents have to be clean. SPJIMR reads your 10th, 12th and degree marks, wants salary slips or experience letters for every employer, and asks you to explain any career break. It also says misrepresentation at any stage means disqualification. Assemble the paperwork before you open the form.
Plan for two interview rounds, personal and/or group. No résumé or letters are required up front, so the interviews are where you make the case for why you want general management. Be ready to connect a specific move, like engineering to product or strategy roles, to what the placement report shows.
Read the placement report, not the brochure. The audited 2024-25 report shows most accepted offers in consulting (48%) and IT (34%), with 52% in general management roles. If your target sits outside those lanes, say how you'll get there.
