Please check the file for more details on the same.

The progs offered by this insti are as below:

This institute is one of the choices i have as it seems to be inline with ISB offering. Not sure whether it will hit the bull's eye. I am sure the content would be great as good schools joining together and offering the program.

I am serious on joining this school. May be risky as it is new, but confident as it is from ITM group.

[Payal911]

Comparing this with ISB is kinda way too much.

Didja read this line on the website:
"The MOU extends to teaching by two professors from TJPU the Asian perspective in general and Chinese perspective in specific at the Asia

GSB campus"

Only 2 profs. from TJPU will be teaching the 2nd part thats what I understand from this, what do you think ?

And I had mailed em yday as I was not able to dl the application form from the website.
I got this reply:

Dear Payal
The application can now be downloaded. Pl try.
There are no specified cut off for GMAT / CAT. These scores are part of the input for processing of the application.
The processes of inducting faculty is in progress. Shortly these would be uploaded as desired.

Hey I anted to know how effective the course can be & what advantage/diadvantage a program will have over a degree/diploma.....

[armstrong]

Visited this site a few days back and found some questionable points:

1.The Faculty has not been selected yet. (Except for the faculties from the other alliance collges with which the institute has tied up)
2.Being a new school on the block, the fees are exorbitantly high, 9 lacs +
3. Not a single line has been written about place ment

I will take a wait and watch stance about this college.

Hello All,

I had been to the Asia GSB administration office over the week end, here are some questions that I discussed with the Director of the Asia GSB:
1. What is the Faculty that we ca look forward to?
Ans:
[Permanenet faculty]: It would be best in the lot. would get selected from premier institutes in India. Till now only one prof from a top Bschool has accepted the offer. By another three months they would finish up the Faculty hirings
[Visiting Faculty]: would be enagged from the colleges which are in collaboration with Asia GSB.

2. Hows the profile of people who have shown interest in the course till now?
Ans:
The average experience of people who have shown interest till now is around 6-7 years on various fields ranging from IT, Pharma FMCG etc.

3. What kind of placement / profile we should look forward to?
Ans:
The answer is the same as written on website.
[Nothing concrete as such.]

4. what would be the course structure like?
Ans:
They showed me the planned course structure which starts from last week of April 2009 and the details should be available on website soon.

5. total fees?
Ans: 11 lacs (approx) inclusive of china trip .


I am still very sceptical regarding the faculty, and unless that doesnot get published I personally cannot take any decision on the same.
