About the placements we had an average placement of 6.1 lacs which is very good.But the important thing is that the placement that had been achieved was done in quick time as LIBA's focus is to reach the top ten rankings in India.

LIBA is also famous for some of the courses that it is designing for foreign universities as well as tie ups with them for summer internships......check out the link below:

Hi plodder...nice work...just wanted to know a bit of info on cutoffs for LIBA this year...can u provide that info?

[PLODDER]

Nice to know about your interest in LIBA this year for our batch the cut off was just a little above 91 percentile in the open category.

It will be surprising for some but LIBA has made tremendous strides in the past two years in terms of placements,events organisation and roping in faculty from reowned institutes.......

I guess this time the cut off will be a little higher than this probably at 93-94% considering that the competition goes up with each passing day.

Any other questions ..............will be answered....asap!

hi,jomster XAT is also going the CAT way I guess, this time XAT was very tough.............generally given the no. of questions that people were able to solve and the overall level so I would suggest that you get hold of some old material not older than a year from one of the coaching institutes TIME,CL,IMS,etc or else enroll urself for a course.

Also while doing so keep ur focus on basics....and very important focus on achieving proficiency in the basics becoz in the exam room it will the basics that will be with you all ur funda .............at times under tension and pressure goes for a toss.

As for books and links to resources I will get back to u shortly u can also try out the prep.n resources forumss available on pguy...and orkut.

nice initiative.
how abt the mix of the batch.. must be around 140 of u right.. backgrounds etc? freshers/working .. sectors.. region..

[PLODDER]

To be exact there are about 130 of us Ramakrishna the excess no. is taken becoz of the fact that about 8-9% of the batch may/may not be able to cope up with the rigours of the course.Plus the fact that some of the students were very close in the entrance criteria that there is no difference between them.About the back grounds we have a fair mix of all backgrounds we have the usual higher % of engineers,commerce people,one notable change has been the fact that people from life sciences have got a sizeable share this time.We have two doctors one of them is a dentist.We also have students from hotel management.

There are about 45-50 female students which is a very good ratio for B-Schools.About work experience LIBA has this time selected quite a number of people with work experience the highest being 4 yrs and the lowest is 6 months.

The work experience is also varied.We have people from IT,BPOs,healthcare,Banking, HR consultancies, tourism industry, hotels,etc.
