hi guys..

any idea if the Essay writtenduring XAT come into any picture during GIM admissions??
Does XLRI float across the associated institues any specific scores for it??
Also will they hv the copy of it??

Thanks Snape, Anand et al.

I thot my post was very clear but some people have managed to cook up a conspiracy theory. I wish to categorically state as under:

I have the highest regard for GIM as an institute. For those not aware GIM is run by the Christian JESUIT fathers who have an outstanding record in running academic institutions for over 400 years.

I was trying to raise 2 issues: the cost bit (which was entirely my concern as i stated): This issue has been addressed by snape very well. The other issue that i was trying to raise was: GIM is a good B-school, no doubt. It has managed to move up the ladder pretty fast. But if it has to move up the peking order and give the likes of XIMB and XLRI a run for their money brand GIM must be positioned to be shown as bigger than goa. GIM should be the reason people visit goa. The location is the garnish and shouldn't take the place of academic rigour. I dont need to be a GIM student to visit goa but i need to be a GIM student to be a good manager and those qualities would be developed through the intense academic rigour at GIM. Again, I am in no way saying that GIM lacks this rigour, just that it's not been branded here (atleast thats the way i feel) that way. Eager to here from snape our GIM marketing guru.

Since my profile is a matter of great speculation, here it is:

Gender: MALE
Decent academics 80+ in 10th and 12th and 70 in Graduation in commerce

Work ex 3.5 years

Goan Domicile

XAT score 81 percentile: Not great but satisfactory considering a month and half of study. I wanted to know the buffer i have for LIBA incase GIM doesn't work out hence i posted 70 %ile on that thread.

Also, i don't know where the idea of me promoting regionalism at GIM came up. I mentioned celebrations from all religious denominations (christmas was included) to express the cost concern, so wheres the regionalism??

It's great to see the enthusiasm shown by the GIM puys (especially snape) in answering all queries no matter how trivial they are. Snape bhai, its a surprise u dont have a girl considering ur prowess with words. Since ur in the first year i guess it's only a matter of time..

GIM Marketing Guru Snape!!!

am I flattered??!!!!

Guys the first thing they taught me here in GIM about Marketing is this.

"MARKETING IS NOT A BATTLE OF REALITY,
MARKETING IS A BATTLE OF PERCEPTIONS"

So in Marketing, it does not matter what the reality is,

the reality, actually, is nothing but what people THINK the REALITY is.

So if you guys THINK that I am the Marketing guru, irrespective of the reality, I AM the Marketing guru!!!.

Dont worry you'll know the truth when you come here


Now for some solid info.

No. GIM does not check the essays. It does not even request them from XLRI.

During the interviews, the panel will have a sheet with them which besides having a sobre passport foto of yours, will have all the details which you have filled in.

So you will be grilled on your acad background.

Then, they will ask you---- what else??

And thats where they will decide who goes to Goa and who dosent. So you not only be very specific about your grad studies, but Extra Curric activities do matter a lot.

There are poeple in the batch who were grilled on minute details of their graduation subject....and People like me who were asked NOTHING from past studies. So better be thorough with Grad concepts as well as other things in life.

Rest will keep coming. Just have faith.

@ CCO - Boss you never said about regionalism. I added it on my own because activities organised by specific communities smacks of regionalism. So a political correctness clarification.

Re - Boss, though I have nothing against them there is a lot more to life than girlfriends!!! And trust me this is not a "sour grapes" response;-)
