hi i understand ur concerns... as mentionned previously we at this stage cannot comment on the cu-offs as admission wud be on a relative basis... we are looking at a batch composition of >= 2yrs of work ex and very less(unless very very exceptional fresher).. pls browse thru Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai and revert with specific queries ...

Hi Swetha,
the cut-off wud most likely remain same given the fact that we are looking at a batch composition of 2yrs work x and more...
