SPJAT study guide
SPJAT · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The SP Jain Aptitude Test (SPJAT) is an aptitude test used within the admissions evaluation for programs at SP Jain School of Global Management, a business school with campuses in Dubai, Mumbai, Singapore and Sydney. It is not a standalone qualification; it is one possible element of a broader evaluation that, depending on the program, may also include a personal interview or essay writing. Candidates are typically applicants to SP Jain's undergraduate degrees such as the Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Data Science or Bachelor of Economics, or to postgraduate degrees such as the Master of Global Business, Global MBA, Executive MBA, Master of Artificial Intelligence in Business, Master of Applied Finance and Wealth Management or Master of Management. The admission process varies by program and generally begins with an online application form, program-specific eligibility checks and required documents before any evaluation. The SPJAT study guide has 4 sections and about 1,466 words.
01Quantitative Aptitude: Multi-Step Arithmetic Under Time Pressure
SPJAT quantitative questions are short but multi-step: percentages, ratio and proportion, averages, time–speed–distance, time-and-work, simple and compound interest, permutations-combinations, and basic mensuration. No calculator is assumed, so the winning skill is converting a word problem into one clean equation and choosing numbers that cancel.
359 words, about 2 min02Logical Reasoning: Constraint Puzzles and Valid Deduction
SPJAT logical reasoning mixes analytical puzzles with deductive items: linear and circular arrangements, blood relations, direction sense, syllogisms, number and letter series, coding–decoding, and short assumption–conclusion–inference passages. No outside knowledge is needed.
371 words, about 2 min03Verbal Ability: Evidence-Based Reading and Sentence Precision
VerbAbility in SPJAT checks whether you can read dense business-style prose quickly and whether your grammar is precise enough to repair a sentence. Expect reading comprehension, sentence completion, para-jumbles, vocabulary in context, error spotting, and analogies.
372 words, about 2 min04Data Interpretation: Bases, Shares and Growth Rates
Data Interpretation presents a table, bar chart, line graph, pie chart, or short caselet, then asks for comparisons, percentages, averages, growth rates, and ratios. The arithmetic is easy; marks are lost by reading the wrong row, mismatching units, or dividing before choosing the shortcut.
