hi kkpat2,

i am working in energy domain for 7 years after B.E (Mechanical). desparately looking for a 1 year master program in Energy/oil & gas. i hv gone through the 2 years PGPM (Energy) course content, it is excellent but unfortunately cannot sustain for 2 long years. desperately looking for 1 year PGPM in Energy specialization. As of now nothing in india but UK and many EU countries offer the same. do u hv any future plan of conducting 1 year PGPM in energy?? or can u suggest what other institutes are good to achieve my aspiration?? Aberdeen business school of RGU, Scotland is good??

Great Lakes IEMR does not have AICTE or UGC affiliation.

What will be the main diff betwn an approved one and not approved one (appart from Loan, Govt Job, Higher study) Is there any chance that GLIEMR will seek approval in next 2 year ?Your reply will be very helpfull.

Hello Puys,

can anyone confirm if Greatlakes Gurgaon has UGC affiliation??
one of the requirements in a bank for loan is that the college should be either AICTE approved OR should have UGC affiliation.

Govt. banks asks for all these documents. You should contact hdfc credila for the loan.

Hi,

In the mentioned required documents SALARY SLIP is a compulsory one. However since I'm working for a startup I dont get any salary slip as such. My payment was always done by cheque.

Instead I've got the experience letter that clearly describes my Employee ID, my CTC and my working Tenure. Will this document i.e an Experience letter suffice their need?

If they want I can arrange for a Salary Certificate.

Kindly advise

Moderator please a gentle reminder...delete the e-mail posts :)thanks

Will be opting for Operations specialisation.

Also request everybody to share profiles. It would be interesting to know the batch mates before joining the batch.

Hi,

Will we get a complete refund incase we decide to cancel the admit?

thanks!

Same condition here, but i am feeling very positive about the program

Hi,

Will we get a complete refund incase we decide to cancel the admit?

thanks!

Hi KKPAT2,

I am interested in Great Lakes Chennai and that was always my goal. but Gurgaon just doesnt seem to stand out yet.. I agree its the first year.. So i am still in the process of making up my mind. Can you tell me if I will get a complete refund if I make the payment which is due on the 4th April?

thanks

Can you guys talk about your profiles?

Work Ex: 3 yrs
GMAT: 550
MBA Specialization: Marketing

Received GL Gurgaon admit..

- Vivek

1)Courses are designed based on a sustainable basis, no single sector or domain is given any special preference.
2)Placement wud be conducted from the gurgaon campus, and not the chennai campus, regardless of personal expenditure.
3)The answer for that question cannot be answered by anybody, except the people who are already there in the college, and the answer is LOTS!! :)
4)Unless the batch starts how can any institute already start the placement?? however given the response that we are getting from the industry for the 2 year PGPM(Energy) program, placement would not be a concern. At the end of the day, please have faith in ur own self and your own strngths. Getting a placement is ur own capability, getting the company 2 u wud b done by the college!!
Best wishes!

Hi...got the admission acceptance mail for Gurgaon..some questions -
1) Will we be considered for Great Lakes Chennai if the waitlist moves?
Or only the ones who are rejected from GLIM Chennai are being offered Gugaon admission??
2) How many days would it take to get the refund of fees if we are to cancel our admissions?

Can someone kindly reply on this...

hi scorpio3010,
1) Great Lakes, Chennai is almost done with their admissions for the 1 year program.
Nothing lyk dat, there are many students who have been offered in both locations. Infact there are aspirants who have specifically opted for Great Lakes, Gurgaon.
2) Refund generally happens within 15 days, maybe even earlier in many cases.

How many of you have decided to join the course.

Hi puys,

for almost 4-5 days I'm consistently reading this forum. One day ago I was also a part of his precious decision of whether to join GL Gurgaon or not!!! Well let me try and clear some confused minds around...

1. I myself have got an admission call from GL Gurgaon and was as confused as fellow puys. I've got 4 yrs work ex and tht too in 4 different industries (I always wanted to explore as many industries as possible before my MBA). So the question arises is this 1 yr MBA suitable for me??? Guys ask for urself

If u too are having a range of experience then I feel 1 yr is suitable for those who want to stick with the same field....In case u want to change ur professional field then I guess 1 yr is not suitable

2. Consider the Alumni of the college....Theres none so u will be walking on a double edged sword as U will be the first batch and also u will have to do a lot of work to make this brand (GL gurgaon ) recognizable.

3. For all those guys who currently earn more than 8lacs I guess the amount of hike this MBA wud give is wht Im skeptical abt. Dont get me wrong... Who knows it might surpass our expectations but then realistically it seems a daunting task .... Yes for those in the range of 4-5 lacs its a winning situation as u can expect a package which is decent enough

4. Fees of the institute personally bit high and asking to pay 4.20 lacs in a span of 15 days is too steep for me. The risk associated with it is too high in my case.

5. Guys pls dont get into this AICTE recognition thing as its just for name sake. Yes it is relevant but look at colleges like ISB even it is not AICTE recognized. At the end of the daY you should be concerned with the faculties who will be teaching u and not this recognition.. I mean there are many AICTE recgnized colleges in India which are not wrth mentioning...

6. Also I feel the location of this college is really a plus point considering tht all the INDIAN MAJOR and MNCs are gurgaon based

7. Lastly, I feel one should believe in himself/herself and a lot of networking if one wants to succeed in securing a decent job post MBA.

aar ya paar!!!

How many of you have already accepted the offer. Please Guide me I am in a dilemma right now and want to see some people with good experience here.. please answer me to the best of knowledge about the below things.. I have already sent a mail to the admission team about the same but want to know generic view from you all :D

1.) Placement Service :- I meet people during my interview and 80% of
this were from IT background , but you don't have the Strategy and IT
course here in Gugaon as Specilization. Why so?
2.) Irrespective of any condition if a candidate wants to sit for the
placements at chennai , Will he be allowed bearing his own expenses
and other costs ?
3.) How many cooperate's knows that Great Lakes is in Gurgaon with the
1 year program and are interested for placement.
4.) How much is Great Lakes trying to get everyone placed for this new
Batch, Are there any announcement already done with the cooperates.

Thanks

Hi Floyd ,

I think you should call Mr Gautam Lakhimraju , his contact details are mentioned in the GL gurgaon offer mail. He would be able to answer all your queries and give you the exact picture of what to expect , as he did for me .

Hi guys I am really worried about the infrastructure of the college... can't really seem to find it on the internet... can any one please let us know how good it is?
What facilities are available at the college?
Do you guys think it will be better to give GMAT and try for Great Lakes Chennai..Does Chennai have only one intake in a year?
Should I be worried about getting placed if I have almost 4 years of work ex as a Business Analyst and QA manager?
Can someone please guide us based on the same..

It has a basic infrastructure with airconditioned classrooms, conference rooms & a cafeteria.

Got the offer from GLIEMR for PGPM. Had my i/v on 03/04 @ mumbai. Anybody else got selected from same slot and taking the offer. Please share on this thread about the merits and demerits etc. The acceptance date is on 04/04, so need to take the decision quite fast.
My profile: 4.5 yrs in Mfg/Operations

According to me the merits:
1)the course fee is ok, if not great compared to some other 1 yr PGPM offers, like SPJ GMBA
2)the brand name of Great Lakes
3)I have full trust on the esteemed faculty of GL
4)had a look on subjects to be taught, looked quite interesting
4)the strategic location of Gurgaon will be of advantage in case of placements
5)the 1st batch of GLIEMR passing out has good placement record(till the knowledge i have) considering the fact that it is the 1st batch,times are not that good
6)the batch size is small
7)the institute is progressing fast on path of success(i was selected for PGPM Energy program in 2011 but cudnt take the offer then, since then i hv been following the institute, so can say that the college has progressed for good)

the demerits:
1)we will be the 1st batch of PGPM 1 yr
2)the course has no approval- but even GL,Chennai was not approved at its commencement. I hope to see GL,Gurgaon also in the same league as GL,Chennai in the years to come.
3)For guys with already 8+ salary will the placements be satisfactory.
4)I am quite sure of taking operations mgmt as it is my trade. But the specialisation will be offered only if more than 10 guys opt for one.What if no body else takes Operations as spl and i hv to settle with something that i dnt want.

If any body has anything else in mind plz share the same and help me.

hi joi

i ve accepted the offer n will opt the operations specialization

Guys,
Here is another aspect that needs to be considered...... The benefit that we wont receive while opting for Gurgaon:
The MOUs help the students and Great Lakes conduct research related activities and thus if any of the students are interested in presenting papers then the Yale - Great Lakes Center for Management Research is a great platform for it. Needless to mention, one can network with international research community comprising of professors, industry experts and scholars.
If someone wants to do a Phd from Illinois then there are some privileges attached as a Great Laker. Further, MOUs also help in faculty and knowledge resource exchange programs.

Thanks alot KKPat2...!! :)

My PI was on 17th March and I haven't received an offer letter as yet.Moreover on the website I can't see any official announcement of the results.

Does that mean that I am not selected ?

Hi all..

I have been offered a seat in GLIM-Gurgaon PGPM course.
I have few questions.
1. On what basis the call letter for Gugraon PGPM sent?
2. Number of Seats in Gurgaon PGPM?
3. Was the offer letter sent to random ppl in waiting list or was there any prirority for this course..
4. Why the waitinglist of GLIM chennai or the GLIM-gurgaon PGPM's selection procedure isnt transparent.
5. What would be the expected average salary package?
6. Is it worth sacrificing the B-school's whose rank is around 40 as per PG's survey...

Someone kindly reply...i m in dire need of answers..

Thanks and regards

hi doneya,
1) Call letter for Gurgaon PGPM has been sent based on your profile
2) No. of seats in Gurgaon PGPM is between 30-50(depending) on the profile again.
3) The offer letter was sent based on the profiles of the students, also it has also been taken into consideration that the quality of students have not been compromised.
4) Wait-list is transparent, it is entirely a profile based system, post interviews the selection is done based on the merit of the student, not only in CAT/XAT/GMAT/GREAT but also work ex,interview,acads,extra-curricular.
5) Again depends on the profile, but rest assured, being the 1st batch, management wud do its utmost to get the highest package possible, as it is striving for in the 1st batch of PGPM(Energy).
6) That is finally your call, the decision to take or not 2 take depends upon u.
Best wishes!

hi minesh,
you do not need to separately apply for the hostel facility, just inform the admissions office about the same, i.e, single or double, mailing them would be a better idea, like I did last year. Plz do inform whether u need a single or double occupacy. For self transportation, u get autos, but i wud suggest if possible get ur own vehicle, it becums simpler then, just an option, dnt be alarmed!! U do get bus facilities, infact 4, next year,the college is planning 2 arrange 4 shuttle bus services, which will be available at a very short notice on a regular basis 4m hostel 2 college!

joideep1985 Says

I am no senior, but i can answer ur questions: 1)No need to apply separately for hostels, just inform them, single room accomodation will be served on FCFS basis 2)For single room accomodation you need to pay 28,000 more 3)Bus facilities are available and included in fees 4)For self transport auto is available, it takes 10 mins from hostel. Seniors correct me if i am wrong.

Thanks for such a quick response.

So, do we need to send separate email if we required hostel facility or it is mandatory?

Have some standard questions:

1) Do we have to apply separately for hostel facility(double)?
2) How much less we have to pay if I choose double accommodation hostel room?
3) Is college bus available for commuting between hostel and college or we have to arrange it by ourself?
4) If transportation is by self than which is the common mode of transportation.

Kindly reply to my queries asap.

Thanks,
Minesh

sshwetaa Says

i have not received any mail, meaning that m not selected.. Btw may i know, when nd where did u hav ur PI?

i have my PI on 24/march @9:30 am,i got the acceptance letter 28 evening...

I have already transferred the money today. I feel we can go ahead provided i get the answer for the below questions.

1) Quality of faculty- List of faculty is not published on the GL Gurgaon website whereas chennai has published the same. Faculty would definitely play a vital role in the success of the program. It has been mentioned that faculty would be coming down from chennai but no news on the number of faculty coming from chennai.
2) Placements - No. of companies that have confirmed participation in the process. It has been mentioned that companies visiting chennai would be visiting Gurgaon also. Does it mean that companies would recruit at Chennai and then only would visit Gurgaon. In this scenario if a company feels that they are happy with the no. of recruits at chennai they may not come to Gurgaon. What step GL,Gurgaon would be taking on this front.
Another point is that Gurgaon is a industrial hub, but it would be good to share the name of the companies that will be visiting the campus.
What is the average salary we can expect for a 4-5 yrs exp people from GL-Gurgaon.
3) Batch Size - It has been mentioned that planned batch size would be 50. There are two possible scenarios. First is that no. of students joining the course can be more than 70. Second scenario being no. of students opting would be less than 30. what is the contingency plan in both these scenarios.

Please note that i am not undermining the GL brand. Its my humble request to answer the above questions as we will be investing a lot of money on this program.

My mind already shifted to positive side.
Will transfer the amout tommo and will mail the acceptance letter.
Last date for me is 3rd April.

Hope it is worth the spend.

sri1992000 Says

Even my mind is bending towards the positive side. But if some one can clarify on few things that will make us feel comfortable

I got my admission acceptance yesterday, I have got some higher roles in my company as well. Now till yesterday when I was very much keen to join the Gurgaon GL , now I will not be able to .

I don't know which way it is heading to ::banghead::banghead::banghead:

Even my mind is bending towards the positive side. But if some one can clarify on few things that will make us feel comfortable

Thats very true.

Anyways what are puys deciding.plz let us know on the forum. I am still in two minds.But gradually my mind is bending towards the positive side. But time for acceptance is quite short.
