I h've one query......when i visited the GLIM site sometime back i did not see Deutsche Bank's name initially, later on this was added, i know of the guys from GLIM is joining DB and his recruitment was through Mafoi consultants and not the campus selection......later on i also heard that this was the case with many companies mentioned on the site...........could you please clarify this point.

Deutesche Bank is one of our Campus recruiters and had short listed candidates.
Campus Recruiter need not necessarily mean that they should compulsory visit the campus to interview people. Depending on the number people applied and shortlisted, logistics about the interviews will be planned. By the time Deutesche Bank approached us all our students got placed. So, people whoever were interested had been to their Corporate office for interviews.
The candidates did not use the services of Mafoi consultants it was a 100% institutes effort.
Just FYI, it is nothing wrong if an Institute uses a consultants services. These services will be of use if you have to match a senior profile with a niche requirement.
Hope this clarifies your query.
Appreciate your interest.

Hi Akash!
Sorry for the delay in reply!
People moving back to IT have been offered positions as Business Analyst and Associate Consultant in good IT Cos. like CTS, TCS, Infy, IBM etc etc. About the Package, it varies from co. to co. and also depends on the relevant work ex that you have. For Ex : some one coming from IT co. and moving to financial domain in IT might not be considered to have very high relevant work ex, on the flip side if you move on to consulting for similar domains you might get a fillip in the pay package.
About figures with 2+ yrs of work ex, it varies arund 6.5 L p.a , which increases as per yur relevant work ex.!
I hope i was able to answer your query.

Hi,
I have a profile of approx 4 years of IT experience and m currently working as a lead in Mindtree Consulting Bangalore. What kinda proile i can expect if enrol myself for an MBA in Great lakes. Moreover I was not able to find out any consulting company in the placements list. Do any of the consulting company visits the campus? Also would be happy if you elaborate on the kinda GMAT score you look at.

Vishal

Hi,
I have a query!
How is GLIM with 1 year PGPM helpful when compared 2 two year courses offered.
The course will be quite hectic i guess! 😞
Any answers as to y GLIM and not other colleges?? :satisfie:
Hi Vishal,
About the profile being offered with 4 plus yrs wrk ex, as i mentioned earlier it depends more on the relevant work ex than on the total yrs of work ex. and hence if moving back to IT consulting, the profile can be at high hierarchy in the consulting field it self.

I couldn't convert it.
My query is that Manufacturing is in Horizontal & Operations in in Vertical. But, the OM specialisation is merged with Systems. Is there any proposal to start a separate specialisation for OM (or) Supply chain mgmt.?
Also pls tell me where the new campus is coming up?
Thank u.

People - we are having our exams now ...will reply to your queries....in a day or two....thanks....folks!
Hello People,
We are no more called GLIM. We are Great Lakes Institute of Management. Please avoid using GLIM in your queries/responses
Cheers!

Hi Abhishek,
Placements in any B school take place based on prefernces of the students. In Great Lakes , in last 2 yrs, more people have been willing to go to IT Firms and hence the % age of students joining IT have been more as compared to non IT. Besides that, if you look at the percentage distribution of cos. in any B School other than IIM's placements are dominated by IT and we being a 2 yr old school are still in the process of developing a profile similar to IIMs and hence IT.
About non engineers and profiles offered to them, banks like HDFC,Deutsche Bank,Emirates Bank to name a few took people for banking operations and profiles which were highly finance oriented. Also IT cos. take a lot of people as financial consultants and though they are into IT Firm, they are doing something which any IT or Non IT Financial Consultant would be doing.
I hope i was able to answer your query, feel free to write again incase of ne more info.

Hi SurethisTime,
About the new specialization, as of now there is no such plans to come up with such specialization. But this being a student owned institution, if there are lots of students willing to work on the same specialization and even the industry perception is good abt that specialization, it would taken into consideration with immd effect.
About the new campus, the exact details abt the same is still not available, but there is every probability that the next yr batch wud move in to the new campus.
