]Can u plz tell me what "basic tech questions" did they ask to u?C'mon friend I m a frsher and from ENGINEERING(electrical). background...plz tell me about the questions they asked to u.....

hi,

I had got a phone call on 27th May, from BIM office asking me if I'm still intrested in joining BIM, though i was not in the waitlist. Could some of you seniors plz update me on what is really happening??

When I called them once again to check if it was a really intended call, citing my Application number, they said mine is a confirmed seat, and I will be getting the call letter in a few days. Is this is a trend always, or if not why is it so this time???

I would be glad if somebody could enlighten me on this

Hi Aarthi

This is indeed strange, esp since you were not in the 1st wait list at all....maybe they are trying to improve the sex ratio..!!

Anyways congrats and welcome you aboard on this joy ride for 2 years....all of us are active on another thread called " BIM Trichy: Final Results"....let me know in case you find any problems finding the thread....looking forward to your response on the above thread..!!

Congratulations to all who have made it !!!

Welcome aboard !!!

This batch would be the 25th batch of BIM and would henceforth be known as BIM25. Before the formal induction of every batch we create a yahoo group. The naming convention is BIMXX@yahoogroups.com, where XX denotes the batch number. For your batch the group has been created. To join this group click the link below,

bim25 : BIM Batch 25

People who have converted (or waitlisted) use following thread from now on to interact.

Start posting your profles in this thread.

BIM, traditionally releases the admission list 3 months before the date of induction. This is to facilitate smooth separation for work-ex candidates from their companies, as most of the companies demand 3 months notice. This is the reason behind BIM releasing its admission list very soon after the GD/PI process (There was a query in this asking why BIM releases its admission list very soon. I hope this answers it.).

BIM has a tie up with Indian Bank for educational loans. Bank officials would be available on campus during induction and would complete the formalities. The loan comes to you automatically because your BIM offer letter is the collateral. Hence, you need not do anything from your side for the loan.

Once a candidate deposits the initial amount specified in the offer, his admission is confirmed. This amount would be reimbursed by the bank once the loan is sanctioned. Once list is confirmed, informal meetings are scheduled at major cities in India to facilitate interaction with the previous batches. We would also be meeting shortly.

Have a good day !!!

Hey all BIMmites ..... here is a call for info on Laptop deals
Now, here's a link that I cud find on PG for the same

http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/chit-chat-your-interests/22495-dell-laptop-bulk-deals-pgites-53.html

As my mate Pradeep here rightly cited it out to be confusing, I would like to bring out the gist of the matter there:
1. Offer by mkamalr- Dell Lattitude @ ~38 k
2. Offer by Sony007- Dell Inspiron 1420 @ ~38.25 k
3. Offer by Ashirvadeb- Not an offer as such but wud help to crack a deal on xps 1330 or 1530


I hope u all can relate to the names now n then come up with the best offer n post it here so that we all can decide collectively.
We need to be quick I guess. We can even seek help from Kitchu n team as they are striving hard to get a better bulk deal for all of us. So, any suggestion frm Seniors or anyone for that matter are welcome.

Hi Kitchu

Any info on the bull laptops deal ???

Congratulations to all who have made it !!!

Dude, I guess he was talking about cut-off 4 reserved category.
I would suggest we read all associated posts before posting/claiming anything

That was indeed an amazing write u, that brought into focus, the life at BIM to the fore. If u dont mind, considering all that is required for a B school aspirant, if u r given a choice between BIM and SIIB, what will u pick up? Kindly respond!:splat:

This forum doesn't allow comparison between b-schools. But the following facts skew my choice towards BIM.
1) BIM has a stronger and wide spread alumni base.
2) More opportunities to undertake research assignments and live projects through CECMAR.
3) A better hostel life.

Well if u call my inquisitiveness, my fear then yes I am scared.
I never wanted to offend by harming its repo but wanted jus a lil Correct info on the doubts I had.
Again, we ask when we are not sure... rite.
So, if I was convinced with the rumours goin around colleges of Tamil Nadu (refer Article: 'Co-education, only in name', Editorial page, ET Feb 25 '08 edition'), I would not have asked.
Hope this helps..
Reiterating, any inputs from seniors would be highly appreciated (especially on 2nd doubt)

Oh! I am sorry.. jus realized am spamming this thread.. wud take this discussion to the right thread.

To dispel all doubts
"Is the shared campus with BHEL of any advantage to the students?"
oWe are inside BHEL and are loacted in a township which sprawls to almost 8 kilometres diagonally. Its a lush campus (almost inside a forest). Our library has access to all the management journals and magazines and a huge collection of CD's. We have a computing centre located as a separate facility and operates 24/7. BIM students get quarters (2 bedroom Hall Kitchen) for accomodation and not rooms. All our facilities (Class Rooms, Library, Computing Centre and Hostel) are WI-FI Enabled. We have access to the best databases in the world. Our infrastructure is on par with any premier B-School in India with an exception in our Hostel facilities which you can never imagine in any B-School in India. I believe this is what a B-School aspirant should look for in a B-school. Moreover, the startegic alliance with BHEL ensures sharing of infrastructure, knowledge partnership, research opportunities and university industry collaboration. BIM has a separate research wing called CECMAR (Centre for contemporary Management Research). CECMAR provides management consultancy to many firms in this belt and also undertakes a lot of research assignments.
"Is there strictness towards interaction b/w opposite genders (as is the case with other educational institutes in TN)? jus want to shut all mouths spreading rumours for TN colleges"
o Ha ha ha.. Definitely not possible in BIM with close to 10 BIMMITES marrying fellow BIMMITES in almost every batch. Just because of loaction (TN in this case) none is deprived of a b-school life. Life in BIM is on par with any premier b-school and in many cases far ahead of many top b-schools with late night partying, dance floors, terrace parties, open air movie screening and what not. In short BIM rocks !!! I can vouch that every alumni cherishes every moment of his life in BIM. So, come join the party.
"The average %ile of those admitted in the reserved category for TN (70 out of 120 seats)?"
o BIM is promoted by the Government and we are bound by the government norms. You can compare this with what XIMB has for orissa candidates. This shouldn't be a deterrent for any one as this is in accordance with the government rules and is definitely not that high. Moreover, the reservation for TN candidates is only for the backward classes. The general candidates irrespective of their origin, fall under the general category. The cut-off for the reserved candidates from TN might be less than the general cut-off by 5 to 7 percentage points. A lot of subjective valuation goes into shortlisting these candidates. If you calculate the average percentile of a batch it would be greater than 92 %ile. Many TN candidates apply for BIM, but even in this population a good number of candidates are from the general category for whom the criteria is same like any other general candidate from anywhere in India. The percentage of TN candidates getting final calls from BIM being slightly high cannot be attributed to reservation. Its just a coincidence that many TN candidates apply. That's pretty much about it.
"Is there any biasness involved in treating south indian students as compared to the others?( am not asking in terms of faculty but within the students themselves)"
oWe celebrated HOLI 3 days back and I am finding in really hard to come back to normal colour. This answers it, right ?
I hope I have answered you. Feel free to probe further. It's a pleasure answering them.

Biasness twds south students :

U can see it for urself..the PR dept is headed by Pushpreet Dua...a hard core northie..( I guess...)

Average percentile...such figures are not disclosed....calls were given till 85 percentile I guess...anyways once u enter a college, these percentiles hardly matter...!!!

Interaction with opposite sex...dude u seem not to have read SCMHRD's instructions : No contact with person of opposite sex in any "dark corners"..hehe..cudnt get better than that....anyways these interactions depend on ur talents rather than the B-school..!!!:xmas:

Trichy as a place....hot but the campus has many trees lined up...so shud be ok..!!



BHEL campus...def add-on as we can share their resources....their library n other facilities..!!!

Hope that answers ur queries..!!!

dude calls were not given at 85 but 95%...(correct me if i am wrong)

I know its too early. But can anyone tell me up to what possible number the wait-listed candidates got confirmed

Well if u call my inquisitiveness, my fear then yes I am scared.

Hi there,
->Regarding ur query for research & BHEL(in the other thread), it all boils down to the interest of the student. Nobody stops u to interect with BHEL personnel. Ur id card gives u access to all BHEL premises. Some employees even encourage meeting students in person at their residence.
So all that matters-is ur interest.
->interaction with opp gender is totally free(tho costs are involved ;)).But a piece of advice from our diro wud be -"Dont come into BIM with a mindset of finding ur life partner, there are a lot better things to do in 2 yrs:grin:.
->I shud admit the climate is pretty hot in trichy(mar,apr,jul) but with airconditioned rooms and trees around the campus-it is manageable.Fortunate this time it rains here during this season of the year.

Still in doubt with the culture at BIM?? We have bimmites at Caritor too. Search out for them thro ur company's internal portals.

regardss,
dinesh

Hey Puys
Can anybody throw some light on the life @ BIM campus. Am expecting to get it converted along with some other institutes.
So, I want to take an informed decision
Specifically speaking:-
1. Is there any biasness involved in treating south indian students as compared to the others?
2. The average %ile of those admitted in the reserved category for TN (70 out of 120 seats)?
3. Is there strictness towards interaction b/w opposite genders (as is the case with other educational institutes in TN)?
4. How is Trichy as a place. Is it like lush green environment or an arid land with scorching heat?
5. Is the shared campus with BHEL of any advantage to the students?

Any inputs from Seniors will be highly appreciated........
