SPJAT

If you do not perform well in one section of the SPJAT, it may affect your overall score, but it doesn't necessarily disqualify you. SPJAT evaluates overall performance across all sections, and SP Jain School of Global Management takes a holistic approach in its admission process. Strong performance in other sections, along with factors like your academic background, work experience, and interview performance, can compensate for a weaker section. Additionally, SP Jain doesn't specify sectional cut-offs, so performing well overall still provides a good chance for selection.
