"You can try through green channel"... I didn't get that part??

I believe since you have a software services work experience so you can try through green channel for which its better you contact our admissions chair (whose e mail or contact number is available at Amrita School of Business - Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore)

As far as I remember last year lower limit cutoff percentile was around 76, so can always try. There are usually five parameters on which a candidate is awarded final admission viz. CAT, interview, personality, Knowledge, work exp.

You can definitely apply and keep your fingers crossed.

Hi meenu...

As ashish said.. cutoff of would be at that range.. hope you will get good %tile...

Abt the summers, we got into almost every industry in companies like TCS, TATA Steel, Philips, CavinKare, IDBI Glits, UBS and on n on n on....

This yr CavinKare is about to come for the 2008 batch, so summers is good.. and placements... we r expecting a slow down..

Participate further discussions in AMRITA 2009-2011 discussion forum

Meenu nice to hear from you. My name is Ashish, 2nd year student at Amrita School of Business. Congrats for the offers.

Coming to your queries, I believe this year the minimum percentile cut - off level for a call by Amrita must be anywhere between 75 - 80. I dont know how sure u r about the %ile u'r goona gt at score 69. I had quite a weird experience in CAT 2006 when my expected n real scores were very different.

Some students from our batch are able to bag PPO's or atleast PPI's (Pre Placement Interview) like Tata Steel, UBS, Tata Elxsi, CavinKare, IDBI Gilts.

Summers placements for juniors are about to start and so as our placements. Unfortunately we are or it seems we will be affected by d global fianancial downturn.

Data on last year's placmnts can b accessed from Amrita School of Business - Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore

I hope most of your points have been dealt. Feel free to comback.

U hav a well stocked library,a fully equipped Gym
there is a huge playground for cricket and football
there are seperate courts for other ganmes like basketball,volleyball

There is a provision stores and also a departmental stores inside the premises to cater to ur needs
there is a tailoring shop if u need to stitch something urgent
There is dispensary with an inhouse doctor in case of emergencies
A medical shop too
U need not go out for haircut..There is baraber shop also inside the campus
there are 2 canteens..but,as I said only veg food ..Non veg buffs,don worry,there are some dhabas just outside the campus
now there is also a swimming pool(It was not there when we studied)

Well,if u are spiritual,there is an ashram inside where u hav meditation,bhajans etcthere is a Dhanlakshmi bank branch also available inside the campus
Every hostel has seperate TV rooms and indoor games like carrom,Chess,TT etc

Regarding laundry,u hav 2 or 3 resident Dhobis inside the premises...So no need to worry

Oh thats the way it goes.... what about the mess???? Is the food ok??

Food is good.Better than most college hostels.But u will have only vegetarian food.Non-veg is prohibited inside the campus

No.The engineering students have seperate hostels
Some students will be accomodated in MBA hostel due to space constarints

Oh thats the way it goes.... what about the mess???? Is the food ok??

spicyforsure Says

Just copying the text from the 04 Apr e-paper Economics Times:

"{
ASB student gets Rs 9 lakh offer for MBA placement

THE PLACEMENT season for the 120-strong 2008 batch of Amrita School of Business (ASB) here ended on a high note with top companies like Cavin Kare, LG Electronics, Philips, IL&FS;, Irevna, Oracle, TCS, HCL, ICICI AMC, ICICI Bank, HDFC, Citi Group, TACO and Reliance recruiting from the campus this year. There were more than 25 campus offers with a Rs 6 lakh plus salary, a 50% jump from last year, reports our Coimbatore Bureau. The highest salary on campus this year went to R Raji a civil engineer and mother of two children. A lateral student with nine years work experience, she was picked up by IL&FS; for the highest offer made so far in Amrita School of Business with a package of Rs 9.05 lakh.
The average CTC this year was Rs 5.20 lakh a year, up 25% from last years figures.
Focus on quality at the admission level itself, systematic industry academia interaction, 100% institute hand holding for summer placements and 24/7 faculty support in the residential campus are the drivers for our 25% YoY growth in average salary over the last two years, Easwar Krishna Iyer, head (placement), said.

Hi PUYS, For those interested in ASB here is something interesting: :: The Times of India ePaper :: Go to this link and halp urself with 4th April's Economic Times, Chennai Edition (Page7)

I don find a lot of activity on this thread... Any idea about the second list???

Welcome on board dear.:D

I am a new entrant and I paid the fee on the final day....

Hi Guys :grin:,

Slience for long time??? Assume all are busy with fee remittance.
I had paid my fees(3 bulky DD's :new_smile-l: ).
Got a chance to chat with Mr Eashwar, he told that an orientation session will be there around june 16th. A detail mail will be sent to all new joinees.

my conditionality of the admission offer was removed got a confirmed call. i am thinking of taking admission. i have offer from kirloskar but i guess amrita is better. also waiting for ximb results. can seniors pls throw some light on the actual placement figures. also has the seats for the 2008-2010 batch been increased to 180. that would mean more competition for placements.

We reached Coimbatore at 7:30am from there we got into a bus going to Ettimadi and reached there at 8 am, :lookroun:from bus stop we could see the ASB building and decided to walk through, we had just started when an ASB bus stopped in front of us and the driver offered us a lift, it took around 5 minute to reach the ASB main gate and to our surprise it was around 3 km on the curvy road to ASB Office :shock:.
We had to sign at the security gate and were given visitors tag to wear and a slip which should be returned during exit with the office staffs signature. Now we were inside the campus. It gave us a feeling that we were in midst of some garden, with cool breeze flowing and it had an amazing ambience. We walked into the ASB office and had small conversion with a placement faculty, she was busy as summer internship placement was going on, she was kind enough to spare us some time and clarified our queries, as Mr ESHWAR was not available the refund policy could not be clarified:sad:. After that we went to canteen, just besides the ASB building, and had our break fast, it was nice had a south Indian touch.:thumbsup: After that we had chat with some of the 1st year student and they where prompt in answer our query and sharing their experience.
Then we meet Harish he had come out for 15min break from his class and we were happy to see him. he spent this lion share of his interval time taking to us guy's sharing his experience and clarifying our query's. Then we went to the hostel (Obviously boy's) and meet Prem and other inmates as well, we went to his room, it was pretty tidy and well maintained, little small but sufficient for one person. :2gunfire:We came to know that ASB is very strict with their rules you need to very punctual and i think an MBA institute should be. You have some restriction moving out of campus as well:confused:. Expect for that I felt the campus is realy nice, had good ambience for studies; :)you have mountains behind if interested in trekking, gymnasium, swimming pool etc. No need for formal wear in campus:angel: . You have generator to meet power failure if any. We had a good time in ASB with very cooperative and friendly seniors and staff. Prem arranged an auto for us till Ettimada bus stop for 50 Rs and when we reached at the gate security told us that we need to get staff's sign and had to return back to office for getting the same slipping an extra 20 bugs. That was the visit in short.:smilecol:

Dude thanks for this post....
u saved sometime of mine...
Ppl here.... The post was a lovely short description of a visit to ASB.... just addons...
Bus # is 96 from railway station .. this will get u to ettimadai..
i would sugget u to catch a local train its simpler n cheap as well...
oops i know u ppl mite not be omin now.. but when ever jus refer this mail

hi,
i called up MR.easwer today. he has got the documents i had sent. the problem is most of my grad marksheets are having year 2006 on them. i completed my engg in comp sc 2002-2006. but as my name was wrongly written in most of the markasheets i applied for duplicate copies which i got in 2006 end. MR. eashwer asked me the reason for most markasheets having 2006 printed on them and i told the same. then he asked me if i had any arrears during engg. i had two in 3rd semester which i informed him. he did not say whether my admission offer has been confirmed or rejected. i am really worried and in a dillema what to do. i am in the 1st waitlist of kirloskar which has a policy of 1st payment then 1st admission and the date for payment is 21st march. kirloskar is also not having any refund policy. after the conversation with mr. easwer he has not sent any further mail. dont know what to do.:nervous:

i was given conditional admssion offer and asked to submit my individual marksheets of graduation. i sent them by courier and from net i could track down that it had reached coimbatore on 15th. but still no mail from MR. Eashwer confirming the conditional offer.
what should i do? should i call him and ask him?

Hi Somanand,

I got an email from Mr. Eashwar on submition of document saying "All document have been recieved and the "conditionality" of your offer is now removed."
You can probably call/email him and get the clarification. Sorry for the delay as I was busy with my office work.

Has anybody received the hard copy of the admission letter??
And anybody here will apply for a bank loan?? How long your bank is asking to process the loan??

Dear Sourav,


Yes. It contains an offer letter, total fees tructure schedule and the details of the initial payments etc. This is enough to process the bank loan. Up to 4 lakhs no margin and security is requierd. 4-7.5,guarantee is required and above 7.5, bankers ask for security(RBI Norm). The process time depends on the contacts you have with the bank. But in all probability, max time willbe a week or so. Get all the documents intact . You have to fill up the application form, and some forms to be filled in by the parents, Address and ID proof (Passport copy, D/L, ration card etc) Parents' Income proof (Salary certificate, IT Return etc.) They may ask you to take a insurance Policy( Note- all bank have their own targets!!). Since the total fee comes to Rs.4.62 lakhs, to avoid hassles,better to go for a 4 Lakh Loan.

Even i got an email confirmation from Mr Eashwar mentioning that only 1000 Rs will be deducted on refund for administrative charges and rest will be paid back.

I just now talked with MR.EASHWAR from the admisssions dept.He said that the entire fees (except rs1000) would be refunded if u dont join...

Hi All,
As planed myself and Rahul had a visit of ASB Campus:-)
I will answer some of the query put in general before putting down my experience.:
1) Bank Loan: ASB office have sent required document to all which can be produced to the bank for processing of loan.
If any additional document is required (Specific to any bank norm) you need to get back to ASB office.
2) Placement: The average salary is around 5 lakhs and highest salary is 9 lakh and lowest around 3.6 lakhs.
3) Second list: Will depend upon joining in 1st list.
4) Refund: Could not get an answer for that as Mr. Eshwer and Mr. Madhu were not available.:lookroun:

my hello to all the seniors i met in college be it prem, harish..i must say you all were so friendly and courteous...and ready to share any info and also answer our silly queries..but i guess i am still not over with that and still have some queries....i wanna know how many students got placed in banking,financial service sectors..how many such companies visited campus...and wat kind profiles and package they offered and wat kind of conditions they ask for qualification as my BE perc. is little low ..59 only ..STD 10TH 78, 12TH 80...and i wanna enter into financial world..and if this the case will amrita wil be the right choice..frank,prompt reply will go long way in clearing my doubt....seniors wishing u luck for your summers ....

Guys I got a mail from the Amrita admission office regarding refund... they are telling that if you withdraw your candidature before starting of the session they will refund the whole minus Rs.1000

hi,
i have got a conditional admission offer. i have been asked to again submit my graduation marksheets to get my admission offer confirmed. i had already submitted them with the form.
has anyone else recieved such instruction to sent their marksheets again? pls inform me i am bit anxious.
dont know why they are asking again.

Hi Somanand,
Even I have the conditional offer, you can contact the ASB office or email Mr Easwar or Madhu as mentioned in the offer letter(ASB website along with the result). It seems you have to submit your semester/year wise marklist also(in my case). Rest query even i am waiting for a reply.
