Where do you see the college in a year or so from now.What is the placement scenario for this batch..how many companies have already booked the slots..For a person with around 2 years of work ex ..what has been the av placement?What has been the profile offered to the past year students?

i would not be able to give u details regarding this question, but all i can say is there will be a minimum of 100 companies coming for campus this year . person of 2 year work - ex placement figures??hmphh... last batch was primarily composed of freshers . so data could look a bit skewed. our batch is a bit more diverse in terms of work ex. so reg salary obtained i think our batch data would be appropriate,but unf placements are yet to start for us..
.. anyways last year i would say 2 year work ex guyz drew anything between 4.5 -7.5 . but this year we expect it to be a lot different as we are expecxting some real biiges to come. fingers crossed.i cant reveal more than this.if u r planning to go back to IT presuming that u r from IT i would say u can look at salaries between 6- 9 lpa. manufacturing industries , not much of an idea as our pioneer batch did not have that many companies. finance also u can look anything between 5-8 depending on your profile. for marketing jobs in FMCG sector we did not have many majors coming last year, but this year the scenario could be different. so call is yours.
how do i see the college?? its getting better and its gonna rock man.. the very instance of ppl like u getting interested about great lakes is a good sign. so obviously there is going to be a slew of deserving candidates applying to great lakes which means the insti is going to comprise of quality students and which will lead to better brand name and great placements.i have got 4-5 enquiries about Great lakes from people who have got GMAT scores of 680 - 750. so its upto u to take a call as to how the insti is going to be in a year from now.
we have already had a pre- PPT from deloitte, so that shud give u an idea abt companies interested in us.official info cannot be divulged, so nothing more than this info.
regarding placement stats refer the website.

Also please mention the complete cost for application..like last time..600 for form and then 2000...???
I believe you are a part of student community.As per you how do you rate your stay in the college...Satisfying or above expectations or below...and y?
I know these are questions which will take a lot of yur time answering..but i would like to be very sure before applyin to ne college..hope you understand

this year the cost of application is 900 Rs. stay in college is great. course is very hectic and most of the days we are held up till 2-3 AM for completing project work,presentations and case studies.we dont have a permanent campus.but nevertheless, the facilities are indeed world class and sufficient as far as MBA program is concerned. i am a localite but i have taken up a flat nearby and would say that it replicates the hostel environment closely, only sore point being absence of night canteens or a sprawling campus .
having said all this my take would be,
great lakes has the potential to become one among the premier institutes in india and it is upto you to gauge the potential and wrest the initiatives. as far as i am concerned, it was really a tough call to leave my job @ CTs, but at the end of the day i guess the risk has paid off and i am confident that i will be landing up a job in my preferred area of interest.so the call is upto you. if you have any other specific queries , we can take it online..
