Now coming to the study part, generally, it should take around 3-6 months for one to prepare properly for these exams. Since NMAT starts from Oct first week, you can start your study preparation from June. All the best! -
Hi Nidhi,
As SP Jain Global, we do accept scores from exams like CAT/GMAT/GRE. In case, if you have not taken either of them, you can take our internal aptitude test SPJAT. -
You should have ideally started preparing for entrance exams when you were in second year of your graduation programme. But if you put in substantial efforts, you will be able to make up to it privided you study regularly. -
As per your question, you mentioned that you are graduating in April 2018. Ideally, you should start preparing for MBA entrance exams from the time you were in the 2nd year of your UG. However, for your information, if you think you can still make it, you should directly start preparing for next year. Adding to your list of preference, you can also prepare for SPJAT or GMAT for getting admission in SP Jain Global's post graduate programs like MGB or GMBA for next year. Keep checking their website regularly. https://www.spjain.org/.
