If the committee wish to invite you for GD/PI based on your profile/application form they can invite you in Jan 09 otherwise you will be considered for Feb09 process. We look for qualitative aspects in your applications and accordingly your GD/PI call can come. There is no harm in sending the application early.

2) Out of your two test, we will give you fair chance and your best performance will be considered for merit list.

3) Yes, you can choose the electives as per your choice. In currrent batch many students have taken dual specilization or pure-specilalization.

4) Pune is a moderate expense city. You can spend around Rs. 5000/- per month to live a quality student life.

best wishes,

Hi Sir/Mam,

thanks for all the replies, could you also tell me :

* So to avoid confusion as per your reply no.1, will I stand an equal chance if i apply in 2nd round ? (regarding no. of seats as i can understand the results for both the rounds will be compiled into single merit list) ?

* And as i mentioned for 2 specializations, shall I tick the two specializations in application form ?

reply soon

thanks.

Hi Ravi!

Yes ! you are right even if you apply in the second round you stand the equal chance of selection.

You can tick d two specializations in your application, however, we provide students flexibity to choose their electives hence you should not bother about them too much at this stage.

Best of Luck!

There were queries from prospective students regarding the structure of PGPBT programme. What is Business Transformation stands for and what is business transformation analyst.

We have invited Dr Sanjiv Vaidya, Professor of MIS at EABS (previously worked with IIMC for 18 years) to throw light on the concept of Business Transformation.

What is a Business Transformation Analyst (BTA)?
A Business Transformation Analyst (BTA) is one who can meaningfully assist senior managers or consultants in analyzing, evaluating & diagnosing a business situation, suggesting remedial measures and implementing the same.

We acknowledge that development of this capability requires a very wide range of issues to be addressed. Hence, and considering the strength of Zensar Technologies in providing high quality IT services to corporate, we have focused on developing students who would be particularly trained in addressing IT-enabled business transformation. To sharpen the focus further, the programme lays an additional emphasis on three highly information intensive industry sectors – IT-services, Retail and Financial Services. Thus our students not only are groomed in planning and implementing IT enabled business transformation but also possess good domain knowledge of at least one of these three sectors.

Why does the Industry Need a BTA?
It has been observed by both user organizations and the IT–services industry that IT users are often not fully satisfied with their IT investments and applications. This is often referred to the business-IT gap. The industry needs knowledge workers who can suggest and implement measures to prevent/minimize such gaps in the visioning, planning and implementing of IT deployment. A BTA is equipped with the knowledge of relevant approaches, tools and techniques.

Where could a BTA be placed?

Typical positions for a BTA – may be after an initial short induction and training – would be business analyst, business consultant, process consultant… etc.


What inputs does a BTA receive?

The PGPBT moulds students into a potential BTA through intensive inputs in the following areas

• Skills for Strategic & Organizational Analysis
• Approaches to Management of Organizational Change
• Business Consulting and Diagnostic Skills
• IT Orientation
• Interpersonal skills and competence
• Environmental awareness
• Good Domain Knowledge of specific industries and business processes
• Strong Reality Orientation
• International Exposure

How does EABS Ensure the Inputs?

• Industry executives and renowned academicians from India & abroad are actively involved in selection of students for the programme and curriculum design & delivery
• A mix of conceptual & practically oriented courses
– 21 core courses & 4 workshops covering conceptual inputs, critical skills & competencies (including technology & interpersonal skills) and awareness regarding business and legal environment both on Indian and Global scale. Details are given in the accompanying brochure.
– Intense international exposure @ EGSM, Switzerland; University of Essex, UK; ISUGA, France and Boston University, USA
– Industry specialization through 10 domain specific elective courses & workshops
• A strong foundation in Technology & Technology management issues
• Focus on development of interpersonal & leadership capabilities
• Total academic inputs of more than 1000 hours in addition to other academic & extra curricular activities
– 680 hours of lectures
– 120 hours of workshops
– More than 200 hours of internships and projects
• International exposure through foreign faculty and International Leadership Module at our partner universities.
• Active Participation by industry in conducting courses & workshops
• An intensive series of guest lectures by Practicing Managers
• Projects with corpoate SBUs – continuous interaction with & mentoring by Practicing Managers
• Integrative Internships with Industry with prospective employers

I hope you will find it useful.

[Admissions@EABS]

Hi Mandeep!

Your profile (since I dunno abt your GMAT scores) is good enough to receive a call from EABS.

Since we don't differentiate between lateral entries and direct entries for engineering your application will be considered for sure.

You can send our GMAT scores after 22nd jan.

We do not decide the strength based on spcialization in advance, we can't do that until we evaluate d candidates.

Since placements are going on it will be difficult to give u exact idea abt d ratio of national vs international placements at this stage. For the first batch of EABS d highest domestic package (so far) is 9 lacs+ , and average domestic package is 6+ lacs.

Best of Luck!

Dear Sir

Thanks for your prompt reply to my queries. I have some other doubts also hope you will clarify the same. Since i am appearing for GMAT on 22 Jan'09 thus does it mean that i should sent my application form there after. If I do so i will have to appear for the interview in the month of Feb'09 as per the schedule mentioned on the EABS Website, but due to some official commitments i will not be possible for me to attend interview in the month of Feb'09. I can easily attend the interviews scheduled in the month of Jan'09. Is Possible to submit my application before in the First Round & appear for the Interview in Jan'09 & later update my GMAT score after 22nd Jan to get the final result from the Admission Committee?

Thanks
Mandeep

Mandeep,

We can forward your application to academic committee and let them decide whether to call you before submitting your GMAT. Though, after reading your profile, it appears to me we may call you for first round of interview.

As I have already said in my earlier post, the test scores are not the criteria for getting interview calls. The test scores will be considered ONLY at the time of final merit list.

If you have any queries, feel free to call me during working hours.

best wishes for your application.

Ravi,

1) In the next batch you have an option of choosing from all of the international level study modules. We are giving wide options for the students so that they are not limited to the choice of one country. For eg: Essex is fantastic for Enterpreneurship whereas ISUGA is great for techomanagment inputs.

2) Yes, we are in advance stage of finalizing the arrangements with Boston Uni. So you can have an option to going to Boston as well.

3) The batch can go to which ever country they like, it would depends on individual choice & domain they wish to work on.

4) The average domestic stipend can be around 12,000 to 15,000 INR. International stipend depends on the country of work. One of our student working on a Canadian project gets CAD$ 5 per hour.

5) The course is rigorous, there is no doubt. But you will have few breaks depending on the schedule. We try to give few days breaks during Diwali & Christmas.

best wishes,
