First of all great job on converting the GDPI call for the most sought after B- school in India ... Great work!!

I am sure that you would have a great time at Joka in the coming two years!!

Any queries / doubts etc please post them here and the students at the current batch at IIMC will do their best to answer those queries.

Hi,

Can you tell us the lateral slots (in terms of work-ex months) at IIM C

I think there is a slot for 10 months work-ex? any other slots?

Asking this because I have 20 months work-ex as of now and plan to make it 21 months by the time I leave.

btw, I have both PGDM & PGDCM, taking PGDM

The Dm/DCM issue is better resolved by personally speaking to people from both courses

hey guys

congos to all selected

well as of now there is no preparatory course and there was none last year as well (and i don't think it was required as seniors helped us a lot and there were a lot of extra classes during the evening that'll help)

well registeration dates as of now are 18-20 june

for laterals u need 10 months work-ex to qualify. so junta of 2007 batch, try to make sure you complete your 10 months before resigning

and now between pgdm and pgdcm, i think both courses are equally good and there is no difference in terms of placements

well best of luck again and cheers

HI,
I have got thru to PGDCM course. Am a comps Grad with 2 yrs Infy exp. I hoped to do my internship at a football club, and looking to do a football industry MBA after 2 yrs....Will all this be possible in the PGDCM course... it seems a computer intensive course.

i'm in final year engg. i had back papers for which i will be appearing in this sem. so i will be completing my degree requirements by may 2008 itself. but the result for these back papers will come in oct-nov 2008 (only result for 8th sem comes early). so, by 31st dec 2008, i wud have my provisional degree, and all my original marksheets, except, for that particular back paper, i wud only have the provisional marksheet issued by the college (original i wud get only in march 2009). so its just for this 1 subject that i wud have a provisional marksheet instead of the original. am i eligible for admission ?

I am a ST category and i did not clear even the PGDCM course for which there was only one candidate (me) from Bangalore in my category.

Total candidates called: 41
Seats around: 30 (if 400 are total seats)

My percentile is enough to clear IIMB in general category

IIMC has 40% weightage for CAT Score.

Final Result: Not even waitlisted for PGDM and PGDCM course.

Seniors-----I am sure from the bottom of my heart that they are leaving the seats empty

IIM
Total Calls: BCLIK
Convert: k
Wait: B

As per our year, the requirement was to ensure that you have completed all your exams before the joining date at IIM C. The results could be shown as and when they came in. The last date to submit your original Mark List and Deg Certificate was Dec 31st of that year (which was shifted by 2 months for some students in exceptional circumstances).

The same should be the case this year as well. However, try and push for your degree certificate the moment you get all your results, so that you can be in a comfortable situation. Get whatever provisional certificates that you can get.

PGDM Vs PGDCM - Refer to old posts on the GD PI Thread. You would find information there. In short - shut your eyes and randomly pick one, it makes no difference with respect to placements.

Congrats to all who made it Enjoy yourselves!
