Yes, the issue is very debatable so its better to put a period.
Life’s really hectic at XIMB (so is the case at almost all residential B-Schools). Classes, quizzes, presentations, projects, extracurriculars all give you very little time for sleep.
The environment is highly competitive here be it acads or extra-curriculars. This makes life all the more difficult as well as interesting.
I’m a graduate in commerce and have also completed my CA-PEE-II. Was in my family business (iron & steel manufacturing and trading) for around 13 months. PLanning to specialise in Finance & Systems. Have my summer internship in ICICI Bank (Mumbai H.O. – BKC) on a project in Corporate Finance.
Regarding GD/PI tips, I would say that all you need to do is be your true self, keep yourself updated with the latest happenings in the indian as well as global scenario, be thorough with your acads, and be confident. At XIMB, a candidate is judged on the folowing paramenters:
-Leadership qualities
-Communication skills
-Ability of comprehension
-Positive attitude
-Team Work
-Logical thinking
I think most other B-Schools would also be following almost similar parameters.
Thanks for the details Vivek. I’m a bit rusty when it comes to current affairs, but well, I think I can manage the rest. Time will tell…
I haven’t contacted my mentor as she has done a good job in briefing us in advance.
Ajay,
Congrats and best luck…
I have been planning for MBA for quite sometime too
So, what’s stopping you??
hey vivek, thanks for the insight. its realy good to have peers who keep sharing their experiences. wish u all the best for ur summer internship.
hey ajay whens the mcet results?
I think it is around March 25th
You didn’t give the CET, did you?
nope, was wondering if the CET result is so late, how does somaiyya use MCET for its gd/pis? i mean i got shortlisted in somaiyya alerady thru CAT; so will a separate list come out for those who clear M-CET?
That could possibly be the case. Are you going for the GDPI or still not going?
Btw, do you check this email
Nothing but the current work!!! No room to prepare and write exams
Probably I have to make it up somehow..
hi
the discussion regarding nmims and ximb was quite fascinating.
i have been to both the places at some point or other and the biggest turnoff regarding nmims is the college atmosphere, it looks like an under graduate college where people have come to have fun…as far hostel is concerned nmims does not have any hostels but the college do provide appartments to students near the college. the plus points at nmims is the diversity of companies that come for placements.
Ximb on the other hand feels like a b school with great infrastructure…the admissions criteria being xat which is felt by many as tougher than cat gives it the elititist status and moreover it is next to xlri as far as preference to xat institutes are concerned.Most of the good students prefer xat than nmat( i think i got it right).The companies that come for placement here are IT companies i.e the diversity is less…
HI
It was interesting reading your NM vs XIMB debate and Vivek made quite a few good points. I have converted my NM call and am currently awating the XIMB results and am hopeful for the same.
I agree that infrastructure is a bottle neck in NM what is however good about NM is that the course structure and environment is not rigidly structured. That works wonderfully for some and backfires for many. If you are not self motivated then NM may not be the place for you!
Another factor in favour of NM would be Location, Location, Location!!
Still am open to more inputs about XIMB to finally make up my mind.
Chow!
Congrats on the NM Call… Location is the main deciding factor about NM.
Congrats, Somit for converting NM & all the best for the XIMB results, which would most probably be declared on the 24th.
Many people feel that location is a deciding factor but I would like to mention a few specific examples which would provoke you to contemplate on this issue.
Would anyone dare to go and study in Jharkhand? But still people (students as well as companies) go to XLRI. Similar is the story for IIM-K, IIM-L, & IIM-I.
Ponder over it and pour in your views!
Hi All,
Quite an enlightening discussion going on.I’d like to first offer my congrats to Ajay for converting SCMHRD.I have also made it to the 2007 batch of SCMHRD:)..But am in a quandry as I have also converted XIMB..
Now Vivek and rest,could u please offer me insights into the differences in culture between XIMB and SCMHRD?
Thanks,
Bibhu
@Bibhu, thank you
I’ve been waitlisted at XIMB. I didn’t even know they had 101 people on a waitlist!
@Vijay, there are 120 seats right? So an equal number is waitlisted.
@Ajay..CONGRATs for XIM..lets hope the WL is realised at the end!! Lets assume that it does..what are u gonna do?? XIM or SCM??
one of my friends..has a call from NM and is waiting for the mdi/spj results.doesnt know which to chose…can anyone guide plz!!!
There is no way that I could get shortlisted!
MDI or SPJ over NM anytime.
@ Ajay
Probably you’ve mis-typed my name assuming the post was meant for me!
Yups, there are 120 seats and an equal no. of candidates are waitlisted.
Yup, it was for you… wasn’t concentrating. Have fixed it
@Ajay, but nm last date is april 2nd..he stil doesnt have the mdi/spj results with him!! going thru horrible confusion rite now!!
what happened to ur mcet??
Well, the only option now is to take NM then, he can always ask for the refund later.
Congrats…Ajay on getting into MBA…all the best
Thank you very much Nirmal.
Hey Ajay
Congrats on getting into SCMHRD. I have too. Even I have sent the signed acceptance letter alongwith the DD. Subsequently have u received your confirmation letter post-verification of your certificates ? The scm website says the online course starts on the 1st of April but I havent heard or received any confirmation letter from them. Wondering what to do ! There is no proper information on the website too regarding this. Do you have any idea?
Pls let me know.
Thanks
Santhosh, I just received the letter yesterday. They have written that the course will start on April 1 and I will receive an email to that effect.
