Asian institute of management Manilla

[pswaroop]

It's a very good institute. It's rated above our IIMs in Asian Region. Many of IIM professors are visiting faculty there. There is a healthy mix of multinational and multi ethnic people of all ages. But experecince is compulsary to get into this B-School. All the best i u r thinking of getting into this,,,

I am applying for Fall or Spring 2006 ! some of my batchmates are there ! So, can tell for sure that they don't look fopr too much of experience ! As I am a 2002 Batch Alumnus !

Me writing GMAT in May-June Types next year and then get on to the apping process !

In addition to AIM, I am contemplating NTU, NUS and other good management institute in South East Asia...

they may not be too strict ion the experience but the application has to be very good man .... singapore i dont knoew much but one of my hostel mates went there and hes not to happy i mean the job he got over there .. RS 4 lakhs INR if u are looking only at the placemts scene then ...... u better be sure beacuse u will spend at least 12- 14 lakhs

True placements at AIM is not as good as in India...but its well recognised B-school all over the world for its excellence. If you really wanna make it to many Asian companies or USA companies this might be the route and it might not be a good option to work and recovery tat much of amount in India

well, i too used to think that its a great school but recently i dropped a mail to them enquiring job prospects, networking oppurtunites, etc... & what is recieved is just a READ receipt from them. Moreover the avg salary over there is $1500 p.m. which is quite low considering u wud be investinging abt 25 lakhs...

Hi there,
Im a current student of AIM, Manila. (Right now doing my summers after Year 1). Regarding your queries, here are first hand answers...

1. Expenses: 15 lacs INR including living expenses, for 2 years
2. Placements: No formal placement weeks as it happens in Indian b schools. We need to tap alumni and companies directly, as it happens in the US B Schools. Avg salary in India 8-10 lacs and in Singapore 4,000-4,500 Sing $ per month. Companies---Very good, reputation--At par with ISB and IIMA (when you look at India)
3. Beer : cheap (Yes, 15 bucks only!!!)
4. Women: no comments
5. Learning experience and faculty: Outstanding, no doubt...One of the best b schools for Finance and entrepreneurship
6. Work ex-2 yrs min, preferred is 3 years..Its needed for your own development man, since AIM is a case study based school...So even though AIM may not strictly impose the restriction, its ur perogative about how much learning you want to extract from your MBA!
7. Class profile-Mostly Indians and Filipinos, 60:40 Males:Females

Hi,
I have cleared the AIMAT (I guess everyone does), Would be interested to know something about the GD & PI part. What is the probability of getting eliminated. Also, when do they declare the admission results.
