Does everyone gets an interview call who applies for PGPM at SPJIMR ? Does GMAT score matters after you get a call for interview ? Or it will be only interview performance once you get shortlisted for PI ? Thanks !

Hi, I have a work experience of 4 years 11 months, but not exactly 5 years. Can I apply for one year pgpm if my overall profile is quite decent?

Any S.P.Jain PGPM WhatsApp group for interview invites? Posted from my mobile device

So once you get a call for an interview, is it only interview performance that gets you an admit or CAT/GMAT score is still considered before rolling out the final invite. Thanks !
