Hello,

I can't answer this question, unfortunately, as this relies purely in the culture, practice, or human factor (admissions manager) at SMU.

Personally, I would contact the SMU MIM admisions office via E-Mail and openly tell them about this incident, explain it and make clear what you learned from it and why it will never happen again - and ask if this would have an effect on your application. This would be MY approach but I cannot tell you if it would be the best approach. Maybe not mentioning it at all and only responding once they ask would be the better way.

Best wishes,
Thomas

I am currently pursuing my under graduate degree(B.Tech) in Vasavi College of Engineering, hyderabad, India. I am currently in 3rd year of my engineering degree. I am interested in opting Masters in Management course after under graduation and would like to pursue my post graduation in SMU.
I have an aggregate of 7.5 CGPA and have faced an issue during my 4th semester i.e. 2nd year 2nd semester. I have been charged with malpractice during one of my end semester laboratory examinations due to which all my other exams in that semester were cancelled. I was allowed to write the advanced supplementary examinations held a month later and have cleared all my examinations with an SGPA of 7.2. I have a grade sheet with malpractice written in that particular semester and was updated with an other grade sheet after the supplementary exams.
Will this be a problem if I want to pursue my post graduation in SMU.
Could you please help me with the mentioned issue.
