Yesterday we celebrated HOLI in style at campus. There were many issues regarding the same but we were able to iron them out in time and what happened yesterday was an amazing celebration of festival of Colours!

Yours truly was spear heading the move and was glad the way it turned out. While Chennai is definitely not the place to be at the time of HOLI but thankfully our batch has been able to create a precedence which we hope the upcoming batch will continue. Not that our previous batches did nt celebrate it bt v increased the magnitude big time.

Btw few of new batch students unexpectedly turned up and became witness 2 the madness. With clothes torn and drenched in colours i am not sure wht impression they carried of us However who cares abt impressions in HOLI !!!!!

Hope u puys had a ball too....

Cheers

Hi unkindmonk,
Doing great job man....
I have one query(might not suit to nature of this thread,but stiill.......):-
I am thinking of doing major in IT and minor in finance.
I had heard this time there is no it as major but operations is there...
So wht are the options available in operations,I mean if I choose subjects carefully in operations,then will it be equivalent to IT as major or not.
Thnx in advance

Great Lakes site says that following are the electives under 'Operations and Technology'
+++-+++-+++
Knowledge Systems
Managing Global Sourcing of IT & IT enabled Services
Logistics & SCM
IT & Strategy
Lean Manufacturing & Process Management
Simulation modelling
Supply Chain modelling and Analysis
Total Quality Management
Technology Management
Project Management
Strategic Sourcing & Corporate Quality
Software Project Management
+++-+++-+++

It seem to be fusion of Operations and IT...

Seniors could you please put some light.

Can I know about the placements of guys with similar profile to me???
Also, what if i want opt for FInance instead of IT as my major???
Whats the impact?? Anybody going for such a change in ur batch??
Please let me know asap....

My Profile,

21 months IT exp
Infosys

BE- IT(Walchand CoE, Sangli) ...

Firstly IT is nt a major here......its either Marketing, Finance or Operations

Yes many ppl were able 2 switch but finance is picking up here and although getting in2 BFSI vertical is easy in IT , if ur looking for Hot profiles like Investment banking or equity analyst then u need 2 be very focussed.

Let me point out that the more u guys r clear abt wht majors and wht post MBA career ur looking at, the more closer u get in achieving that.Take out time to figure out wht you want to major in right from now and change it during the course only if u r very sure. Clarity frm now will help u guys to make the most of the entire year.....take this very seriously!

These are the subjects under the elective of Operation and Technology......its a fusion allright where u will find subjects which are IT as well manufacturing oriented.

To put it on record......GL dont offer any MAJORS in IT!!!!!
