Hi soulofchange,
thanks a lot for your detailed mail.
I have a confusion with respect to your mail.
You said that "it is not that easy for a techie guy to get into other functions after more than 3-4 years exp".
You also said "So, in my case, it was switching function and I found Great Lakes a good option with point of vew of affordability, ROI, faculty and future prospect."
Do you mean to say that Great lakes provides decent switching oppurtinities? (after 4+ years of IT experince). Just like you I have a similar interest but absolutely no experince. Will GLIM be able to provide enough opuutunities?
Is it posible to get some contact number? I would like to talk personally. If it is possible please tell it on this forum or send a mail at asdfg29901979@rediffmail.com

Thanks in Advance.

Thanks Dino,

Hi ,

Glakes is having a 1 yr MBA and they are hoping to cover the syllabus on the same lines as 2 yr MBA. This means that the time at Glakes will be rather stressfull. Atleast thats what the students of ISB say. can some of the current glakes students comment on this.
Also, how are the international placements ? what kind of ppl(exp, domain) generally get such offers.
In the degree certificate which one gets after completing the course, what will be the degree awarded. is it MBA or a diploma in Business ?
One more thing, guys please keep these correspondence in the forum posts only, rather than requesting/replying persoanlly, as this will help all the ppl intersted in Glakes.

<b>Stress</b> - Well honestly speaking i guess u can manage. its not kinda panicky situation. yeah somedays you might have to sleep 3 hrs, some 2 hrs some days u might sleep 10. so its all upto how u prioritise and how u want to work. if u want u can free -ride and have a blast u can, but at last there is no such thing as free-lunch in this world. so its your call buddy.

<b> International placements</b>
first batch had 50% freshers and besides college had zero percent publicity. so it has been really difficult to really inform recruiters to come and recruit for international operations. but still there were around 5-6 offers and they were for experienced people and yes some 2-3 years experienced people did get into dubai and singapore in case that falls as international
this batch i cant say . we have 88% ppl with work ex. college has just a year of history.so lets wait n watch.

<b> Degree</b>
since we do not fall under any university the degree is just a diploma not a MBA degree. for that matter even the IIMs,ISB,SPJains have diplomas. ours is PGPM diploma bearing labels of IIT,chicago , Yale university and nangyang.

i hope i have clarified a few points.

thanks and regards,
Prashanth

Hi!!

Seems individual mails has already been sent to the applicants. The reporting time is 7 45 in the morning. The GET will start at 8 30 and the GD at 10 00.

The academic office people said that individual mails (both email and snail mail) have been sent.
