Requesting all WL candidates beyond 39 to kindly update the receipt of an admit offer in this forum immediately on receiving the admit mail. This will really help since time is at a premium now.

Thanks in Advance.

From the GMP FB group, it seems that WL38 was cleared today with the person getting an email in the evening with last date of payment 21st May. This is the only information I know. :)

To know the exact details related to WL movement, I think its best to call XLRI Adcom rather than speculating. They are the ones who would have the latest information rather than anybody else.

Some pointers from this forum and the FB group . . .

How do you knw tht 36 n 37 have received admission invites ?

rohit1981 Says

Hi, are you sure that 36 & 37 weren't cleared in the First List itself ? Has the second list been declared yet ?

Any chances of WL 40+ getting confirmation mails? Considering that only 2 (36, 37) got mails today, looks like no hope for WL 40+ candidates

For people who got confirmation mails today (36, 37 etc based on actual nos) .. how much time is given to confirm/ pay? Just trying to arrive at how much notice period will the remaining WL candidates get if the WL moves beyond?

Just called up Adcom. The documents that we have sent will go to Accounts dept. from Adcom. After their verification , students will get a receipt as hard copy in their respective address.

Puys,
I have been offered a seat here but i am still counting on getting an offer from a different programme, any take on how much would i lose if i make the initial payment and then withdraw my candidature ?? (of course before the course commences). I have no choice but to play this gamble and i felt it would be wrong to ask the college authorities about it.

As far as I understand:
1.AICTE approval implies no service tax has to be paid by the students. That means less (around 1.5 lacs) financial burden on the sudents.

2.a)I do not have proper data on current year placement. However , whatever I came to know is placement is going fine with a great number of companies visiting the campus. Students in fact had the option to decline some offers as those did not conform to their career aspiration which I think is a good sign.However, best thing would be to wait for the official update from XLRI.
b) Having said that , placement took a hit in all the b-schools this year given the financial turmoil. Banking sector has been affected badly and the repurcussions were evident in the placement of many other leading b-schhols of the country as well. Hence placement is a function of next year's economic scenario as well.

3."It means We will be Jobless for 3 More Months " - the nitty gritty of the 3-month's program is yet to be decided. Hence it will be early to comment. Personally , being 3 more months jobless (read student) augurs well for a greater good in future.

4. Regarding international Immersion: Whatever I have gathered from current and ex-students is : 3 weeks immersion really did not boost the resume the way it should. Hence some demo project work or other activities might as well put the students in good stead. However, I am not sure at this point of time on the plans of those 3 weeks.
Seniors, can you throw some light?

5.Regarding timing of placement: As mentioned earlier I do not have any solid info on this. I think some sort of deliberation is going on.
Seniors, can you throw some light on it?

Hope this helps..

Hello friends,
Just wanted to know, those of us who have done the initial payment of 4,40,000/- got any confirmation mail from the XL or not ?

@confusedbilla
Could you please explain the rationale behind posting the same post repeatedly in various formats?

Secondly, I am wondering whether you have sound information on the timing of the placements? I think discussion is still ON. Hence it wont be a good idea to assume something and place sarcastic comment on that. FYI - excerpt from the post from PG homepage..
"Sources told PaGaLGuY that XLRI may consider making the last three months an activity-driven work schedule, which will enable students to take part in placements and also complete the course at a convenient pace.
When asked, Father Abraham said that the present year will go on as schedule but may be from the 2013-2014 batch they will consider making changes, which may also mean starting the course earlier than schedule. We will learn from what happens this year and then make some changes for the next course. "
To put it in another word , the concern expounded by you is shared by many in this forum including the school itself I believe. Hence the best thing would be to wait for concrete information or put across the query to the seniors.

Thirdly , choosing a b-school is subjective. To a greater extent it depends upon your requirement and personal call. However , personally I think : XL brand name is a premiere one and an investment in MBA should be considered a long term investment. Hence comparing on the face of immediate placement might not be the right idea.

Last but not the least , in this thread we are mostly discussing XLRI GMP instead of comparing various programs from various b-schools.

So if you have specific query , I think seniors would be happy enough to answer them.

----No offence meant to anyone. My effort is to get the most out of this forum------
