Pushpreet where are u?

Does BIM arrange for any educational loans?
Ø We are having tie-up with Indian Bank. Every year they will send a brochure along with the loan form to the selected candidates of BIM. Bank will be providing assistance for all the necessary documents. Bank people will be available at BIM campus at the time of registration to clear the doubts of the students as well as the parents.

Can you elaborate that part highlighted in bold text? who are those selected students? I thought loan is available for all the willing students.

I hope,i would get short listed as the cut-off for bc is 71 last year & they have not demanded the enclosure of marksheets(most of my U.G marksheets read AB(Absent)!!!)alongwith the application form.But,my messy U.G is the worrying factor...at one point of my U.G i had 16 papers of arrears...I know they will screw me in PI,is there any chance of overshadowing all these nonsenses with a formidable show in GD & PI...Plz seniors...guide me, thank you!

Cut-off, to my knowledge shouldn't bother you. Can't be absolutely sure though. With meagre calls from IIMs this year, this might change. It's sheer economics (Demand and Supply). Your UG background, that's for u to justify (your chronic attendance or poor academics). Not everyone is blessed with blessed with good grades. If so, Normal Distribution becomes irrelevant.

If so, how many setas are there in General category for Non-Tamil Nadu people ?Thanking u in anticipation !!!RoHiT

Probability is not on the favourable side. But its worth a try. U might get a nod considering ur work ex which happens in a few cases. "70% of seats reserved for Tamil Nadu people" - I don't think this kind of reservation is possible in any b-school. There are a few seats reserved for the backward classes and the scheduled castes, as per the govt's say. This shouldn't bother you.
