Hi Puys
To continue the discussion other puys have started on the interview question, one from my side.
Should India continue the peace talk with Pakistan given the humiliation in past? Considering the arguments discussed for question of Good Karma/Bad Karma, what should be India's strategy...

My views are:
Q.1 In that context of time, location and circumstances, it was not a bad karma. The Pandavas and Kauravas were at war, in a battlefield, and the Kauravas had unjustly taken the kingdom of the Pandavas. Also, the Pandavas had exhausted the other options like peaceful negotiations...

Hi,

Guys, hold on your guns. telephonic interviews schedule would be sent out once face-to-face round is over.
Many companies issue "Bona-fide Employee" document for getting gas connection, taking professional membership etc. It may not be difficult for you to get it from your HR.
The Finance batch started in 2010. The Internship process has just started and Placements are in Nov-Dec. It's too early to answer this one.

Good or bad karma depends on the purpose for which the action is undertaken. If the end result is for the benefit of the majority then it should be termed as a good karma, but if done with a selfish motive/ personal gain then it is a bad karma.

We encourage discussion among the applicants to trigger the thought process.
You are right Sam.
I read many threads and came across some interesting questions asked in SP Jain interviews.
One of them is ..
Q. Krishna asked Arjuna to kill his relatives (Kauravas) in Mahabharta. Was that a good Karma or bad karma ?
Give your replies.

It's advisable to arrive at Mumbai day before your interview.
XAT 2008 will not be considered.. you need to use your GMAT score for this admission cycle unless you have CAT2009 or XAT 2010 score.
There are a few students going abroad for internships. Placements are yet to begin.
It's strange that you do not have appointment or offer letter..you can ask for the same even now telling your HR that there is no such letter received by you / you lost it. Experience certificate at this stage may be difficult to get , but Appointment Letter / Offer Letter + Last 3 payslips shoul...
In reverse order -
1. I would suggest you try to get the experience certificate. Personally I would not advise you to use salary slip as a proof of experience.
2. Group interview shall involve a group of 4-5 people being interviewed by a panel of 2-3 professors. Generally the same question ...

For guys, there is one A/C dorm on the east exit, close to the Arsaa Hotel(Teli gully). Not more than 2 mins walking from the stn. They charge close to 400 per night...

Can any body tell how to upload my GMAT score (as there is no link provided in the site for up loading )
it's not automated, so it would take its sweet time. No need to get bothered.
The Mumbai domestic airport is ~6 kms from the institute. During office-time (730-1030 AM), it would take you around 30-40 odd minutes to reach the institute.
Form the airport, Pre-paid taxi would cost you 150 bucks. If u take an auto (no pre paid counter), they'd charge you close to 80 buck...

Folks,
It's extremely important for you all to use this forum to discuss amongst yourself the various topics/issues - questions on which may be asked in the interviews.
As of now, there is absolutely zilch movement in this regard.

There is no point in analysing numbers so much. Shortlisting depends on many factors including quality of applications each year.
If you are shortlisted, just concentrate on interview prep. and hope for the best.
Best of luck !

I got in touch with the admissions office on 13-Aug. They have communicated that the date for the telephonic interview is yet to be decided. I think TI is going to happen after the on-campus interviews.

For doing a One-YR MBA(Finance) for an IT guy, you need real good reasons for it. Changing from IT to Finance via a 1-yr MBA is not a great idea.
If you are really interested, take up 2-yr MBA in Finance & do CFA along with it.
Cheers!!

forgive me for the silliest question asked.
The last question in the profile sheet asks -- have you applied for MBA earlier?
I am assuming the question means whether you have applied to any MBA program in any school before.
