This cut-off was for BM or PMIR courses and not for GMP. cut-off for GMP was not revealed.

Hi

Can you give out the range of GMAT scores of selected candidates this year.

Thanks...

GMAT Scores are in range 650 to 760.
There should be good profile i.e. a good combination of quality work-ex with good GMAT/XAT score.
Please put your queries on this year's thread at:

That's okay, 5 years of exp is fine; not necessarily as managerial role.

Hi guys

Does anyone know if it is possible to do a career switch after 8 yrs of IT experience from XLRI GMP program?? Switch to marketing

Thanks
V

Hi Vineet,
Yes people have moved to both sales as well as marketing after GMP.

People has got in Account Management, Engagement Mgmt, and pre-sales jobs, if not right after the program then a couple of years after that.

Hope this helps.

Hi Doublehelix,

I have heard (and I personally see some merit in believing that way) that rather than expecting a career turnaround the moment after you pass out, a better way to evaluate a(ny) 1-year executive MBA is to evaluate the career trajectory after a couple of years.

Since you are into your 3rd year post the degree, what is your personal experience and opinion? Do tell.

Very good point and I am glad that you are showing a lot of maturity. Most often than not, people join these 1 year program and expect a drastic career transition after the completion of the program. This is not always possible (though i have seen that happening at times). But as you have mentioned correctly, one should have a long term view of things and then evaluate a program, after all a lot of money, time and effort go into this.
Hope this helps.

To all the new GMP 2011-12 students -
I wish you all the very best. Happy Learning. Do let me know if you have any queries.

Thanks,

Hi Parveen, Congrts.. INSEAD would definitely be a life changing Exp. I am having 6 yrs of experiece in sales. planning to appear CAT and Gmat as well. Could you please give some tips regarding prep and essays

Actually managerial does not mean strictly managerial and thus you need not worry at all.
I was myself selected in XLRI's GMP program in 2009, and in the subsequent Yahoo Group of selecteds we had more than 50% students whose experience had nothing to do with the work of a manager.

Hello Puys,

I got confused with the "Managerial Experience" phrase. What is that supposed to mean here? I have 5 years of work exp. in IT and am currently with the Deutsch ERP Giant. I have never held any "managerial" position in my career. Would that make me unsuitable? confused

Shakul.

you can switch but chances r into ITmarketing and not anything else

The news is GMP 2011 batch has been fully placed and this year the number of career switch is encouraginly higher in this batch.

No, its not possible to convert Delhi number to Jharkhand number.
Official Attendence : I think it was 75%. You will need to check with respective professor(as per seniors)
I am not very sure about the breaks, but i think we will have 1 week break after each term. You will not look a nutcase if u bring ur winter clothings as people coming from far places would bring it with them.

You can put ur questions on FB group to have more response : Log In | Facebook

Congrats to new converts

no breaks generally. after first term 3-4 days gap may be there. Attendance required is 75%. Before any leave take permission of Dean Acads and also the classes of profs you will be missing. Less than 75% grade drop.Bring your winter clothings as you might nit get a chance again. Also if you go for internationl immersion in a cold country u will be gone then.

Guys - The documents to be brought along during registration mention a medical report and a fitness certificate. I get the fitness certificate part, however, what kind of medical report is required. Are there any prescribed medical tests to be completed before reaching Jamshedpur.....

I was about to ask the same question. You beat me to it..

Called up the college and was told get the normal report . I guess i will take a basic medical report with Blood group etc.

Hi friends and seniors

Please can anyone tell me which mobile network is best in Jamshedpur ? Also please can anyone tell me a good laptop shop in Bistupur as I have planned to buy the laptop from there.

Thank you robertbruce for your reply. Would you know about the following?
1. Are there married acco available in campus, how much they charge for the year if there is any as such?
2. Do they allow telephonic interview, as i am still in US.

1..Yes, it is available. We are in no position to tell you what will be charges by next time.
2..yes,it was done this year(cant say about last year), but I believe it was done after people from US n other locations requested for it. so, all the people from US,UK n other locations need to talk to admission commitee once u got through first round.

Also, you can check the whole thread from start and all your queries would be answered. We will soon have a new thread for class of 2013.

Your profile is good. With more than sufficient overseas experience and PMP certification in your CV, a score of 650 should get a call for u.

If u see the profiles mentioned in the google spread sheet (Pls search the earlier posts of this thread for the link) for call getters this year. There are final converts with similar profile. So do apply for GMP and give your best at the interview.

Congrates dude!!

I am not too sure what consulting are you referring to. If you are referring to strategic consulting(Mckinsey/BCG types) then XL GMP is not the place. Even at ISB to crack these firms it helps if you are an IITian with good acads or someone with impeccable acads and extra currics from a decent undergrad school. If you are referring to IT consultancy XL GMP should offer you enough opportunities. Hope that helps..

Hi Seniors,
I am in a dilemma. Need your help and advice.
I have international agreement bond of 3.5 L which i need to pay in case i opt for resignation. In case i opt for sabbatical then XLRI will not allow for placement. I am in an IT Company and have 5 yr of experience (1.5 yr at onsite USA). Post MBA I would like to work in consultancy. Which all consultancies companies visit campus? Should i take risk and resign? pl suggest.

90% of the candidates will be resigning from their jobs to join GMP and that is a risk worth taking. But since there is a large sum of money involved in ur case, u should stick to your current organization. If you want to move to consultancy, you can try after joing your company back and completing your bond period.

Don't take risk. If you want to join consulta go to ISB

Had a conversation with GMP adcom, looks like couple of guys have backed out, so surly WL 37 will move to admit.

For other WL guys:
28th will be the deciding day...thts what GMP Adcom person told me. Further he told, some guys have called expressing inability to join the program, but nothing in hard copy so have to wait till 28th may-the last day for WL turned confirmed guys payment, i believe...

Good luck to WL guys!!
