hi puys,
there have been many incidents of spam and college bashing on this and the other NIA thread.
if you have something to say about the college, boost it up with material evidences.

enough of it now. this is a final warning to everyone indulged in this act here.

one more post and the person posting it will get banned.

thread closed.

Hey there
I ve replied to You on the Mail

the sop is the guideline on which your interview will be based on....
So, relate it with background and say about the present growth of insurance sector.Do mention about the detariffing angle of insurance but plese know what detariffing is all about.
how ur goal matches with that of the course and where you will see yourself in 10 -15 ears down the line. Try not to make it leanthy ,though the word limit is 250 You can shorten it also.

hey guys...i have just 67%ile in CAT...do i stand a chance to get a call in NIA??

hi,
i have a small query..
what should write in the recommendation table in the application form,
bcoz im a fresher..
is it meant for work ex candidates?

recommendation means any body who knows you , Particularly in insurance industry
dnt worry of being fresh

hiiii, havin some ques regardind nia-som, can u please help.......
1. can I give the gdpi in delhi, or shud I go to pune......?
2. wat are the approx. no. of candidates applyin for it?
3. I don't have work ex..... is this any disadvantage for me?
4. If I'll post the form tomorrow from delhi, it may not reach pune on or before 31st, does it mean I am not applied....
5. Really no idea about sop.... wanna safer side. So please help....
6. Academics---- does 10th %age matters??
7. Can I aplly for it online.....

Sorry for too many questions......:confused::confused::confused:

No need to be sorry.....
1. The GD PI is scheduled to be held in Pune so no other centres will be there.
2. Really don't have any idea abt it.
3.Our batch has 80% of freshers....so there is no need to be worried
4. All the insti, give a grace for a day or two after the deadline...so You don't need to be worried,just send the application form.
5.You can reffer to the thread on the NIASOM admission 2009 where I have replied to your queries.
6.A bit of it.I ll say that the breakage will be
50 % -CAT score
30% - GD-PI
20% -Acads
7. No, I don't think that is Possible

Hi dear,
Considering the present scenario there are only a few sectors like banking, retail , FMCG, and insurance which have been least affected by the recession in the Indian economy. Considering that in mind you have to think over your decision once more.....

should i apply ...wht r da chances

82.14 percentile is good enough for fetching a call from NIA. The last datr for submission of the form is Janiary 31st, so you should send the completed form at an earliest. Anyways, are you applying for Welingkar? You should apply for dat also but you should be very sure that you are having a good academic records because Welingkar attaches a lot of importance to work ex. Moreover, if you are a fresher then you should be least bothered of any sort of work experience. Do mention your academic records so that I can steer you properly. I wish you all the best for your future. For any queries, feel free to post a query to me...

Thanks! But still can you tell us what the avg package was for the latest batch?

The average package last year was 5.5 lakhs (C2C).

saurabh.shuv Says

The placement scenario is really very gud at NIA. And there is no need to woory.. da placement is not unidimensional. U can go for a combination of Insurance (Compulasry) + Finance/ HR/ Marketing/ IT. So if ur percentilr ranges b/w 75 - 80 then try ur best shot for NIA. Even the fees is moderate... 5 lakhs and da placement is really gud.

What are the placements like for NIA? Will the placements be unidimensional, as in, only insurance firms?

hi shuv, my cat oa %ile stands at 78.84. my acads r 10th :79%, 12th :65% nd grads :56% .have work-ex in handling accounts for 33 mnths(is it relevant ?). Also i m student member of Institute of Actuaries of India with pass in one paper .cleared general insurance foundation frm IGIE-AICPCU through ur academy. i have deep interest in insurance sector .Do i have a chance 4 gd/pi? pls do reply. sunit.

78.84 percentile will easily fetch u an NIA call. My friend is studying over der and his CAT score was 72 percentile. But do prepare very nicely for the GD/PI as it is a bit tough in the NIA. Do focus on the Insurance Sector with giving due importance to Indian Economy. And your Woek ex is quite gud. It will definitely supplement ur CV and it is Relevant.

I wish you all luck. and the last date for applyin for NIA is Jan 31st.

All Luck,
Shuv.

i have got 85% in cat. But in eng.sec i got only 39%. Should i apply for nia. Reply as soon as possible

85 percentile will definitely fetch you a call from NIA. The last date for applying is 32st Jan. Either download the form from the website or collect it from TIME centre. And start focussing on the Insurance Sector Growth/History pertaining to India. The GD/PI section is a bit tough, so dont leave any stone unturned...!!..!!.
