Well i was restless last night so I emailed them asking about the wait-list movement and DSF course offered to non wait-listed guys. I got a reply today morning asking me to wait till 3rd week of may. I didn't find the reply sufficient so I did called them, I asked how many students from the merit list have confirmed the admission and were they expecting significant movement in the wait-list. They said that they cannot reveal the exact no. but yes there is a chance that wait-list would move significantly, so was asked to wait for 2-3 weeks more to get a clear picture. When i made the DSF query they simply asked me to wait, again...... Future hangs in balance!!!

well waitlsit have moved till 8.
and 8 people from pagalguy have only not joined(i counted)..
that wont make sense rit...so may be they r expectn waitlist to move till 50..
thats an expectation..god please help..
or it would be whole cat preparation again...from starting..

@saiendu
y r u contradicting ur own statement

Can someone contact with ifmr board and ask for the high course fee?10 lakh is 2much for a middle class family.aplying for 10lakh loan is too risky because life after mba wil be dumb.plz contact me on

gallu Says

Thank you guys for showing ur concern. Will call them tomorrow and post the conversation as early as possible. And i m really sorry if i have been rude specially to robin.. Was caught in the movement.... Get back to u all tomo.

its ok brother.. treat me when u meet in IFMR!!

all the best, i m sure u will make it.

also may be more than w/l 7 has cleared. the only ppl after wl 7 on this thread is sum w/l in 30s... who knows how many ppl got these mails may be u are very close to get a mail./

sidd16 Says

I agree with Robin. It seems only those people who have not been waitlisted have been called for DSF. The seats for PGDM must still be vacant. So don't lose hope.

dheeru33 Says

guys suggest that you call up admissions office tomorrow and get this clarified..this should not be lingering for long..its really a restless feeling..hope they will clarify on this..all the best puys..

as i told gallu,ifmr ppl r trying very hard to fill the dsf seats,very few have taken admission till now ,in 2008 only 15 ppl took admission in dsf batch,in 2009 only 22 took admission ,dis clearly indicates dat dey r calling ppl who r way below in merit list
yaar mujhe lagta hai maine galti kar di admission le kar,khi mai barbaad naa ho jau:shocked:

PGDM DSF is a new course which is why it makes students think twice to take it up. but let me assure u as long its finance u are safe at IFMR. don ever worry abt education and future part. u are in safe hands!

I agree with Robin. It seems only those people who have not been waitlisted have been called for DSF. The seats for PGDM must still be vacant, and they might be expecting the list to move past 50, otherwise why would they overlook the first waitlist and contact the guys who haven't been waitlisted? They probably didn't call you for DSF because they expect your Waitlist number to get converted into a PGDM call. So don't lose hope.

gallu Says

How can u be so sure? U yourself wrote few posts back that u think u are very lucky and u might be the last guy they have called for PGDM. Have u communicated with authorities yet?

i meant i was lucky in the sense that i got the call today itself.. or else i would have waited. dude noone would give calls to someone who are not even in waitlist if he thinks ppl from waitlist won't make it to course. common sense

also may be more than w/l 7 has cleared. the only ppl after wl 7 on this thread is sum w/l in 30s... who knows how many ppl got these mails may be u are very close to get a mail./

robintyagi45 Says

dude only reason they got calls because they won make it to PGDM.. u still have chance there. so u did nt get the call. u will definitely get it. hang in till may 15th.

hey all people who got call today(min2rit, manjusha and nsv) for dsf were not waitlisted for pgdm after the gdpi and this was there first intimidation by the college to them,..
what shoud we make of that now ????
everything over for us or wht..
hearts broken

What the heck, they should have called the waitlisted guys first.... What if we are not able to come through PGDM? It would have been good to have a DSF option and now that too is gone!!! Y did they put me in the waitlist initially? Lost everything!!!

hey both people who got call today for dsf were not waitlisted for pgdm after the gdpi and this was there first intimidation by the college to them,..

this was the first intimation from ifmr after my gd/pi. i have no idea whether i was wait listed for the pgdm course or not.. when i called ifmr once, he said i was not selected for pgdm.

nsv Says

i got a call saying i have been selected / being offered dsf course (which i did not apply). also got the mail.. will be joining.. will pay the admission fee before 20th may... can someone please brief about the details of the course and career opportunities..

Could u pls tell what was ur waitlist no. for PGDM?

manjushaa Says

Hey i got a call from IFMR today stating that i've been selected for DSF but i haven't received any e-mail from them so far.what does that mean?anyone in the same postion?

Were u waitlisted for DSF or PGDM? What was ur respective waitlist number?

sidd16 Says

I got the mail too. It says last date is 15th but pay the 75k ASAP because the seats may get filled up before that:shocked:. Now how is that possible? So if we wait till the 14th to pay up, is there a possibility of the seat going to someone else?

don worry man they have just forwarded u the mail which they sent to ppl earlier just with change of date as long as ur 75 k reaches them by 15 th may u r fine!

no waitlist list no for me sidd,...
jst got the mail in d evening...
nd i didnt opted for DSF course...

hey.....did u inquire abt ur waitlist no. by calling admission office at time of declaration of 1st merit list....bcoz i guess u must be waitlist n dis is generally followed in IFMR where they call few waitlist students for DSF as same was followed last yr....

@sidd16
hey.....if u r really interested in joining IFMR then i will suggest u 2 pay asap bcoz they might have given some buffer calls dis time also......it is better to be on safer side........

Dear Student,

This has reference to your participation in our admission process.

As you may know the full capacity of 60 seats in PGDM general is filled up.

Filled up already???????? I think my heart just failed!!! Will call up admissions office tomorrow. There must have been buffer calls given to students which we were never informed of.

min2rit, what was your waitlist number? Did you apply for DSF too or you got that mail just like that?

@ palak
i am frnd of arpit,he hasnot received me mail frm deir side

Dear Student,

This has reference to your participation in our admission process.

As you may know the full capacity of 60 seats in PGDM general is filled up. Hence it is our suggestion that you may choose the option of PGDM in Development & Sustainable Finance (PGDM-DSF) wherein a few seats are available. Please note that this is a hardcore finance program which trains you in application of finance both in the corporate as well as the development sector, which is a skill set required for operating in the emerging markets like India. The course will prepare you to be placed in organizations like commercial & development banks , infrastructure development companies like IL & FS, besides the corporate sector. You will be given the option to choose the sector depending on your career choice. Besides major courses in finance, you will be exposed to the issues in application of finance to the development sector like public private partnership contract. You will also have an opportunity to work closely with the IFMR Trust which is engaged in application of finance to the development sector and other research centres @ IFMR.

Please note that the total course fee payable is Rs.10,00,000/-. Your confirmation regarding the above should reach us by e-mail on or before May 7, 2010. On receipt of your confirmation of willingness to join PGDM (DSF), we shall detail you the necessary formalities to be complied with for which you should be well-prepared.

Also please note that you should pay the admission fee of Rs.75,000/- by May 20, 2010, if you are selected for PGDM-DSF.

With best wishes,

G. Balasubramanian

palakchaturvedi Says

I just want to knw wat answer he got frm admissions office..only dat can help..because I am not getting positive vibes frm seniors on dis issue

@ arpit ..reply soon wen u get a postive reply from the college..

Hi Puys,
Can anyone throw some light on placements for HR and marketing students in IFMR

Until and unless you DON'T pay the initial amount,you ARE provisionaly selected

Hi Seniors,
Can anyone please explain the meaning of the clause "provisionally selected" in the offer letter sent???

ur admission is provisional till u give ur confirmation.. 75 k is the token of your confirmation. if u on't pay it ur admission stands cancelled. so it is "provisional".

Hi Seniors,
Can anyone please explain the meaning of the clause "provisionally selected" in the offer letter sent???

Waitlisted at TAPMI. But not a single clue about the waitlist no. or the total no. of people waitlisted. So I'll be paying the 75k too.

sidd16 Says

Question for the guys who just came through/are expecting to come through the waitlist: Are you expecting any other calls or are you waitlisted elsewhere?
