Hi rohit,
No it does not comes down for the candidate with work ex or good acads. you have to cross the cutoff to get a call for SIBM GD/PI, but yes once you got a call it has significant importance in final selection.
Yes, lateral placements options are available for people having work ex and if one has more than 20 months experience he is eligible for lateral placement in that way you will be eligible.

all the best for SNAP and other exams.

Hi Nafis,

I can see from the above posted info that systems/IT is not offered as a specialization in SIBM. Yet according to the placement stats 22% of the batch(62 offers) accepted offers in this sector.So how is this possible?What profiles did the students opting for IT/ITES sectors opt for. Actually i am asking this bcoz i am looking to work in IT consultancy post MBA and i am trying to find out whether SIBM can provide me with the ladder or not.Hope u dont mind answering my question.

Hi Richa,
Your case is very much similar to me, even i have a bad acads(well not that bad)10th 76%,12th 76%,Grads 61% and I too had taken a break for the preparation and now I am answering the same query which I had a year back(I was an open category student) that itself prove that though these things matter but not to such extent that your good marks in written and excellent performance in GD/PI could be ignored just because your past academic performance are not at best.
So stop worring about the acads and work ex and concentrate on study afterall one you can not do much about the things that are not in your controll but you can certainly improove those things that are in your hand.

So all the best for SNAP and other exams.........your others queries are always welcome here

@linux_maverick - Thank you for your interest in SIBM, Pune.The fact of the matter is that IT/ITES offer diverse profiles including Finance,ops or marketing in the IT/ITES space... this translates into 22% of the batch being placed in IT roles.. You can very well work in an IT consultancy profile if you are so inclined after specializing in either of Fin./Ops. or Marketing. While Ops translates into profiles in IT Project Management, Marketing would predomimantly land you roles in the Pre-Sales/ Business Development space (e.g. Oracle, Sun etc.) - Finance would help you land profiles in Finance verticles or niche products such as Financle (Infy.), i-Flex etc. Hope that answers your queries...Please revert back in case of any further queries.

I on behalf of Admissions Team,SIBM Pune would also like to let you know that we are coming up with SIBM Live - an event that aims to answer queries of aspirants about MBA in general across 4 cities - Dehradun,Guwahati,Kochi and Vizag in the next couple of weeks - For more details regarding this please register @ SIBM .
