Ask SIBM Pune: Official Admissions Query thread featuring SIBM's Prof Pranab Deb

Admissions@SIBM

Dear SVD,

Thanks for your interest in SIBM. Your profile looks very interesting and we would be glad to know you better but as I mentioned before you will have to clear SNAP and get the required cutoff marks. If you do get the cutoff marks and get called for an interview then your profile would be looked at very closely by our interview panel.

Regards,
Pranab.

3. Now I have changed my employer and I am working with another reputed IT firm as a PL. But since my field of interest is BFSI and I am not put into it, i am planning to take up an offer from a company in US. I will have to work as a senior developer/Team Lead.

Extra Curriculars:

Sir,
The information about SIBM opening a new campus at Banglore is really heartening as it shall give mba aspirants like me a better chance 2 get into what is fast becoming one of India's best brands for management education.

But with this come's a lot of apprehension about issues like:
1. Campus (Infrastructure, loc. in blore,residential facilities etc)
2. Faculty
3. Application Procedure
4. Courses Offered
5. Ist Batch etc
Further will the cutoff be same for both the campuses??
Also as u hv mentioned in ur earlier post's about d introduction of sectional cutoff from this year onwards...so wud dat mean a non zero score would be fine or the minimum calculated cutoff for all sections wud b mandatory 2 get a call?

Regards
Sahil

Sir,

I would like to ask you a few questions about my concerns:

1. Irrespective of the marks to be scored what is the percentile which would guarantee a person a call for GD/PI. Also how much weightage does the SNAP score have once you have qualified for the GD/PI round.

2. I have had a very interesting life where I spent 2 years in NDA, Pune and due to medical and personal reasons had to come back and do my engg. Then I did my Engg and am presently working for the past year and a half for a global electronics company. My concern is that I have a break in my education for 3 years due to my sojourn in NDA. Will this adversely affect my chances in the GD/PI ?
My academic performances before and after my stay in NDA have been pretty good.

Thank you,

Hi,
Thanks for your interest in SIBM. 10th and 12th standard marks do not directly influence the admission procss but it acts as an indicator to the candidates seriousness towards academics.

Pranab.

Admissions@SIBM

Hi Sahil,
Thanks for your interest in SIBM. Firstly allow me to rest your apprehensions about our Bangalore campus. Since it is SIBM at Bangalore you should have no doubt that it will be at par with all facilities which is currently provided at Pune campus as we never ever compromise on quality whether in Pune or Bangalore.

The cutoff marks remain same but since our intake will be higher this year more students can aspire to be a SIBMite this year. The cutoff marks will be sectionwise as I mentioned earlier.

Regards,
Pranab.
