Getting down to your questions first ...
last year the cut off was 90 %ile and year bfore last it was 85%ile .... so thre was a jump of nearly 5%ile in cutoff ..... But cut off really depends on the no of applications ...so hard to guess
There are no sectional cutoffs ...... So try to maximise score in your stronghold

Regarding placement ..... exact fig you can find on the website ...pl note tht these are not exaggerted fig ... ..( at GIM a lot of emphasis is paid towards intellectual honesty and correct fig r quoted even if it is low !)
The highest for tht batch was 9 lacs .....

Companies which come, You can find from the website .....
The proiles offered at GIM are improving ... I ll b in a better position to ans in dec only....
We ll be shortly loading a video on GIM website abt the life at GIM ..
U can c pics of GIM clicked by me in Life@GIM thread .....
Abt rating ...recenty sme magazine ranked GIM as 16th in India in Pvt BSchool
n I ll tel u why it is ranked 16th...cos neither we advertise in these maganizes ...neither we pay them any money ....
n I will tel u why GIM should be ranked ahead of many B schools
1. Total transperancy .... we take XAT scores n dont conduct our own exam
2. Non Profit making org .... there are no management quota in GIM ... only 120 general quota seats .... so no undertable exchange of lacs for a seat ....
3. Our full time faculty is more den many of these so called top B schools
4. Placement fig are genuine
5. Tution fee is one of lowest in the country.... GIM charges 3 Lacs for 2 years ...this incudes all tution fees, text books , hostels etc
6. we offer only one course ie .PGDBM and all the institute resouces are devoted for it ....unlike other Bscools
7. we have international linkages with3 Business Schools in Europe, which indeed is a great advantage.

Any more questions ...i ll be happy to answer..........
Happy studying

If it is a non-profit org. then why its form submission deadline is before the XAT Exam ??????????

Hey Ankit
By Non profit org. I mean tht there are no promotors or anybodys stake in the institute, neither there is management quota seats ...
If you see the GIM fee structure, it is one of lowest in the country and definatly application forms is a source of revenue for any B school and the same is used for development of the institute ... So all B Schools want as many applications as there can be..... This practice is followed by even XLRI and XIMB
I hope I have answered your concern

Continuing with, where Mak left, Ankit as an NGO, we ought not make profits but since we are a self financing institution we have to make sure that we are able to earn enough to develop and sustain. Also i think this has also to do with keeping the admission process more transparent. .....


Anyways best of luck for your mocks and exams....


GIM rocks....

Are we saying that a non-profit making organization should essentially be a loss making one ! :satisfie:

I do not think that GIM qualifies for a NGO. Or you were meaning a NTO !
