Whew..!! Four subjects, two days J
Midsems just got over last Friday and the PGP1s at GIM probably had one of the best weekends in recent times. After a long while we actually had a weekend to ourselves. Sure enough students here tried their best to explore the beautiful state of Goa. Sounds surprising but these are rare times when we get to enjoy. Compared to our power packed scheduled where we are expected to do superhuman tasks, this was a blessing from heaven itself.

It seems like eternity since I have penned down a word or two on LIFE @ GIM

Life here has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride. 2nd Term began with a whole new bunch of subjects and faculties. Finally I can boast of 1 class in which can I do CP Marketing -1. The grades of Term-1 have started pouring in and I am bombed as usual .

A lot fun has been happening on the campus as well. First we had a delayed Dandiya night ( due to the torrential rains.. when it rains .. it literally rains cats n dogs in Goa), had awesome fun with all the traditional Gujarati garba tracks and authentic gujju food frm Rajdhani, thank u too all the Gujju crowd @ GIM.

With barely a week after Diwali came. With almost all the PGP participants celebrating Diwali on campus(yes that's what MBA is ) it became all the more fun. RaZzMaTaZz - the cultural club of GIM in association with Prayas made all the preparations for Diwali, all the hostels were decorated with Diya's, candles and lighting. LH & Mourge (Girls Hostels) were decorated and there was a competition for the best decorated room. Post Aarti and dinner was an awesome fire cracker show sponsored by RaZzMaTaZz and @ 10:30 came the most awaited moment. The entry of all the Male Junta of GIM into the Ladies hostel for 2 Hours . Its a long standing tradition of GIM where on Diwali night all the boys are allowed the entry into the girls hostels. The girls decorate their rooms and have sweets and other delicacies for the Special guests. And i tell u the view of Mandovi from LH is simply awesome. I envy the Female Junta.

Post diwali the massacre started with tons of assignments and Mid-term approaching.

Then came another event from MECCA called BLURB based on the concept of product design and advertising. All the participants had fun designing innovating and crazy products such as Anacondom, LoveBulb etc. We as organizers had more fun making and organizing the event and it exposed us to a lot of concepts involved in advertising and product design.

Then came the Mid-terms 4 papers in 2 days totally massacred.

With the mid-term ending on Friday, GIM junta needed the much awaited break and people in groups of 10's headed towards various parts of this beautiful state. I myself with 10 more people landed at Palolem beach on Sat night, stayed in beach huts, had awesome sea food, bathed in the clear Arabian sea the whole Sunday morning, explored some more virgin beaches. When you are studying in Goa, atleast on Sundays ( very few though) u can appreciate the Beauty (both scenic and ).

So after a fun and tiring weekend I crashed on my bed last evening to find my self getting up just 4 min before the class. But with the close proximity of class to my room i managed to reach JUST IN TIME .
Now I am waiting for December when I will go back home and waiting more for 31st Dec, when Goa will be like never seen before and the best part , people from all over world come down to Goa to celebrate new years and we as privileged students of GIM will be in Goa.

Signing off as of now. Will soon be back for some more interesting aspects of LIFE@GIM.

Cheers

Yes. That was indeed a very informative session. The talk was on the topic "Social Media : New Roles for the New World of Marketing". It helped us look at Social Media with a whole new perspective, as a tool for marketing. We were lucky enough to get a chance to chat up with Mr. Rohit Awasthi after the talk where we had a very interesting discussion over a range of topics. Overall a very nice experience for the students of GIM ...!!

Cost and Management Accounting, Production and Operations Management, Operations Research, Marketing and Financial Management were supposed to give me a feel of what a manager’s work would feel like. Instead it has left me feeling how little I really know about each of them. And I’ll probably spend a lifetime learning the whole of it. But that’s the beauty. The best part about these courses is that it ticks off the thought process. From there on the possibilities are endless. Sounding a bit philosophical here. But yeah, this place has that effect

can anyone let me know whats the percentile range to get in GIM,
Is there any sectional cut-off?
How the admission process goes, do they give more importance for past academics too..?

Kindly direct your query to the following thread : http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/other-...2010-a-17.html (Goa Institute of Management Admissions [2010-12] HelpDesk)

This is a thread about LIFE@GIM and not about admission related queries.

Thanks

Well.... After about 6 months in GIM, here I'm putting up my first post for "LIFE @ GIM"! But as they say, it’s better late than never...

I don't want to get back in time where I started my journey in term 1 coz I'm sure the bloggers here have given you an insight of how things go around in here and well, trust me guys the start of the journey was the best experience ever... a perfect blend of academics and fun!
The beginning of term 2 was amazing with the RazZies throwing all of us a welcome party, and then came the inevitable... Term 2 subjects: COMA, POM, Marketing, FM, IGP and OR!!! Sounds scary doesn't it?? But thanks to our professors here they seemed a li'l less scary once the classes started!

For a guy who is from an engineering background, a simple term like "cost" meant a price you got to pay for some stuff you use... well that’s what i thought before COMA (a costing subject) dawned upon me. It's in this class that I realized there were about 7 different types of costs!!!
About POM (this subject is all about processes), OR (operations research) and IGP (all about how groups work); it is a totally different experience and well I'm short of words to describe anything about them!!:-)
Now, the next 2 subject I'm going to talk about are my favourites, Marketing and Financial management! So I better not speak much about it because I'm sure I will be completely biased!!!
The beauty of these subjects is that these are so intriguing; you will come up with ideas which you might have never imagined before!

Anyways, now to the interesting part... we just finished our mid-terms about 4 days back and this was the first free weekend we got after a very long time!!! No assignments, no tests, it was like a dream come true! There were people who went for water sports, beaches, some just went exploring Goa on their bikes and some just cleared the backlogs of SLEEP!

Oh by the way, I forgot the most important events in GIM, Diwali and Garbha celebrations. This was the first diwali I was celebrating away from home, but it was amazing! Once you come here, GIM is a home away from home! And then there was a “much awaited” tour of LH which normally is a no MANs land, quite literally... It was a pleasure to see everyone dressed in their traditional clothes eating sweets, dancing around, bursting crackers and some just jumping out of their skins at the slightest noise of fireworks.

There’s a lot more to this than what’s written above and hence quoting “Om Shanti Om” – “Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost...”

Cheers,
Dilip Mallya

It’s not the endless number of theories that we learn which benefits but it’s the endless discussions over every theory which shapes our thinking. It’s not Kotler from whom I need to learn the basics of Marketing but it’s the vegetable vendor on the street who knows his product well and understands his customers just as well who can teach me the best secrets of the trade. Slowly beginning to understand the practicalities of this field. And yeah. Isn’t it amazing...!!
