In my batch there were 12 students. Most of the pi was based on acads. One guy who had 99 i stats in 2nd year was grilled so hard in that subject that he was regretting scoring that well. Be prepared with ur grad subjects and nonsensical GK questions. I guess every body is being subjected to a stress interview. Just be urself. I guess i messed up because i really wanted to join IIFM and was under stress due to that and the feedback from other students was discouraging.
One more sugestion. To say thanks use the thanks button. Lets us all try to save the precious harddisk space of pagalguy.

some were asked why iifm and some were not. I don't think gap really matters coz nobody was asked about gap whereas everybody had it. Can't give questionsa asked of others as i'm unable torecall them. but everybody had a different set of questions. Infact panel seemed more interested in knowing what you don't know. I'm form science background. Sorry for the late post. All The Best.

Hello everyone....

I am looking for a changeover to non-profit sector in natural resource management sphere... and IIFM came up on the searches....

I was going through some of the placement related information on this thread... looks like IIFM is attracting lots of profit oriented organizations & the trend is upwards...

Is any info available on the IIFM-placement situation involving non-profit organizations...

hi
If you are looking for career in non-profit sector IIFM is one of the best inst. in country. Almost all the major non-profit organization have some iifm alumni working, though the recent trend in placement (of going for profit orgn) is reflection of students choice and not of lack of opportunity of option or offers from non-profit organization.

nice to hear that you enjoyed the GD/PI.. regarding alumni working in WorldBank and UN.. Yes.. We have several alumni working there but they have not been placed through campus placement so you cannot find the link on 2006/2007 placement links. FYI Worldbank and UN do not recruit from any campus or any freshers, you need to work at grassroot level for sometime to get into them
Regarding TCS and Pricewaterhouse Coopers, these are primarily a consultancy firms specializing in software development but they do work on other areas. Also all software firms employ 'domain experts' apart from software developers to provide input on different functions and domains.

all the best...
