Hi Ganesh/ Varsha

I have just submitted my second installment of fees, but it is very difficult for me to adhere to the dates for third installments as due to some unavoidable delays with bank loan. I have mailed them about my issues and also asked for an extention but I havent recieved any reply from them. Can you please help me and guide me in this issue

P.S- I have also not recieved the acknowledgement mail for the first installment of fee

I spoke to Prof. Easwar about waitlist movement and the movement has not started yet. It is likely to begin in next few days as we start forming the list of final confirmations and further begin rolling out mailers to waitlist candidates. I am sending him a mail to let me know when the movement starts so that same can be notified to you guys.
Its definitely a tough period for waitlisted students. Please hold on for some more time and I wish this wait shortens soon!

Thanks a ton !!!
You are almost our only source of information (when it was not possible to reach adcom on phone or email ).

Would be very pleased if you were able to take the suggestion forward ( sort-of-conditional Offer which would give atleast 30 day notice period -previous post )

As hemanth said.. its so much releiving to read this post. Yes hemanth your energy level
is contagious ;-);-)!! way to go buddy.!!

Once again many thankz to you varsha :-). i wish i get an oppurtunity to meet you soon as a great laker :-)

Thanks

Mail/call admissions immediately and request the same.

Hi Trokia,

Time and again Varsha and Ganesh have mentioned that Wait List movement is not the way every one perceives it to be. In a nut shell, whenever a candidate drops out, GLIM looks for a matching profile and allocates slots accordingly.

Additionally, due to AICTE norms, a candidate can opt out until the commencement of the course. Therefore, a candidate has all the flexibility to opt out until one day prior actual course commencement. Well, this is a good news for short listed candidates and kinnda curse for wait listed.

Anyhow, there were serval people, some of those I know personally, who opted out and created a cavity.

For all those people who might be looking for a date bracket, to be frank there could not be a rigid bracket. Though tentative would be starting today till course commencement. I am sailing in same boat with you and waiting for a positive response. FYI, I have resigned from my organization on a 3 months notice and kept my managers in confidence so that I could have an option to rollback things, if required. You could try to arrange something like this if allowed.

In a nut shell, there won't be any good by posting same questions over and over again because answer is not going to change Stay positive mates because this is not going to end here. In any case your new journey will start. Be it in GLIM or a hunt for next year.
Wish you all luck and hope to see many of you in some time

Thank you,

Hi Varsha

Actually I called the admission dept no.. they said that I can get the bike and park it. I dont know whether that can be a reliable source.

If they have confirmed then no issues, you can go ahead.

varsha_a Says

I doubt. You will be allowed to get your bikes after your registration process is done on the day you are asked to arrive on campus.

krnishant Says

What is usual time delay involved in authorities providing us the confirmation for the installments paid ?

The confirmation is usually sent within 2 days after the payment is processed, which can take from 3days to a week.
If you have not got confirmation/acknowledgement of previous payments, mail the admissions dept and they shall sent the same.

Hi seniors,

Can we leave our bikes at the campus by visiting there on 1st April..

Thanks

Ganesh,

When do the students join the companies in which they recruited? Or when do the companies give the candidates joining? Immediately after passing out or after a few mnths.

It depends based on the company. Some companies have 2 months or more others have 1 or lesser. Usually you will have a month or so before you join them.

Ganesh

Hi Ganesh / Varsha,

I have deposited the fees for second installment. And for the Third and fourth installment I will be taking loan from bank.As 23rd March is a bank holiday in Maharashtra and due to some bank formalities, it wont be possible for me to deposit the third installment on time. I wanted to ask if its alright to deposit the fees one or two days late.. Need your inputs on this...

Hi Ganesh,

On the 19th of feb, the day of my GD/PI when Professoe Easwar addressed us , he said that around 10% of the students were yet to be placed.He was hopeful of getting eveybody placed as the placement season was still going on.

1 month down the line you are still sharing the same status with us.
Has there been no progress in the placement scenario since last month considering the placement season has been ON throughout?

On 26 Feb., when I had my interview in Delhi, while addresing Mr. Eshwar clearly told that 60 no. of students were yet to placed but he was hopeful that he would get them placed. Since cleraly 60 implies 20%, it does not fall in line what he said earlier or other guys have been saying i.e. 5%-10%.
I think we should now be talking in terms of exact no. That would give us a clear picture.

**it happens waitlisted folks....move on, they dont want us, not yet, and when they do...we cant do $^it about it........have a drink....curse, rant and get on with your lives, I am doing the same

Hi

The bulk recruitments happen initially and post that the companies don't recruit in huge numbers because they come here for specific roles. There is progress with respect to the placements and as Prof. Easwar said we are hopeful for 100% placements this time as well.

Ganesh

Hi Varsha/Ganesha,

Dear Varsha,

Are you from the Chennai campus? Do you think it is possible to request the admission committee to release the date we are supposed to report at the Chennai campus? April 24/25 are the dates being floated around but there is confusion as to whether the are dates for the Chennai campus or the Gurgaon one.

Will you please let us know if you hear anything? It would immensely help in the preparations.

Thanks & Regards,
Maitreyee

These are the dates for Chennai campus.

Hi,

I am planning to fly to Chennai. And since I wanted to make reservations a little in advance, I was hoping they would tell us a confirmed date of arrival. But no such luck as yet, I guess!

Have you made any travel arrangements? And do you have any idea about accommodation? Any seniors, if reading, can you please give a gist of the process here onwards till we actually start term?

Thanks,
Maitreyee

You need to report on the date mentioned by the admissions team(Mail will be circulated once the final list of admitted students is confirmed). From there your admit letter would be verified and you would be taken to college. Once you are in college all your documents would be taken for verification.

The whole process would be taken care by the admissions. So nothing to worry.

Ganesh

This AICTE question is really bugging me

For starters Great lakes Chennai finds a name in the list of approved MBA colleges on the AICTE website.If people wud only take the trouble to search for it.I for one have personally seen it.

Secondly it has been mentioned umpteen number of times by the seniors that if u have doubts then u can certainly ask for the aicte certificate from the ADCOM team.

I for one could not open the link that gave the list of unapproved colleges.

Thirdly it is the industry interface that matters more than the aicte approval

p.s: seniors it wud help if the mandatory disclosure as per aicte wud be put up on the great lakes website it wud help a ton

What you said might be correct. But why is this information so difficult to find. It should have been there openly and easily accessible for everyone.
Can you please provide us the link where we can confirm the same.

I tried searching for AICTE approved colleges but i cudnt find the list at all (thanks to aicte site)... but when i searched for unapproved colleges i found one and posted that link earlier.

Hey dude .. Did you got an E-Mail from Wait Listed bracket??

I hope you r not spamming :nono:

Guys!
Some folks who were provided with an option of forwarding their profile to gurgaon pgpm, got admit mails yesterday. This is the reason for confusion. We ,the waitlisted aspirants are yet to get the mail we are looking for. Varsha pl confirm when would we get it. No later than tomo pl. Thanks for your understanding.

Hi Seniors,

If GLIM is approved by AICTE why is it mentioned under the list of unrecognized colleges in the official site of AICTE? Updated last on 6/1/2012..

Don't you think that the management of the college should take this up on priority? As this can cause a lot of confusion among prospective students..
and AICTE cannot post wrong information..It can have legal implications..

Or is there a different story to explain this discrepancy??

As it is clearly mentioned as AICTE approved in the official site of GLIM and Unrecognized in the official site of AICTE...??

How is Great lakes planning to handle wait list movement ?
If other colleges delay their result and GLIM doesn't move its dates then lot many candidates would face the dilemma of whether to join GLIM or not.
a lot of movement can be expected after IIMs declare their result. dont know what would be the scenario in the month of april. it shudnt turn into a chaos.

Has any one wait listed been confirmed???

That would be the time for placements and the end of the term as well. If you have exams on that day, you can't skip it obviously. Otherwise if it is just a class, you can skip the class and go. But remember you may end up losing the attendance, the class participation etc and hence marks depending on the subject.

Regards
Ganesh

Now thats really really scary... I wont mind missing some marks but missing an exam wud be a huge blow.

I know it may be way too early to even ask but i wish to know the schedule for the course..
My brothers marriage is in early December this year. Can there be exams during that time ?
If yes then how do candidates handle such cases?

Hi,

I have not yet paid my 2 nd installment.My loan process is getting a bit delayed. I called the adcom number and also sent a mail. The person I spoke to said Monday is ok to pay the fees

Can I take that as an official confirmation?

To be on the safer side,mail the adcom member keeping the admissions in loop about the delay.
