I heard that one of the 100 percentile guys from Bangalore (Amit Gandhi) is going to take B over A too. It isn't that unusual - apparently there are 17 guys in the 2003 IIMB batch who took B over A.

hmm... me got A B C(DM and DCM) L K as of now.

Umm... me too.. somewhat in the same frame of mind.. no.. B is not *over* A as of now in my mind..maybe at par.. but seniors, anyone.. try to share ur opinion too..

And yes, do give some reasons too.. no unsubstantiated "u must be mad" type comments

but yeah.. this is a nice dilemma to be in !!!!

A gave out 278 calls last time... 267 accepted paying 500 Rs & 260 joined finally...

The missing guys were mostly bangaloreans who went to IIMB, cal ppl to C & some IITians to US for MS (Though there were quite a few with stanf,mit etc with full schol - but then these guys get the IBanks also)...

Nick, with the type of IB placements A have, if you plan to specialize in Fin, A should be the right place... May be systems would be one stream where A is not very strong...

Anyways all the best for you guys...


With limitless IMAGINATION, energetic ACTION and a deep sense of JOY !!!
