Hi. For past few hours I am browsing this thread and I think that here someone can definitely help me out of dilemma I am facing. First all let you know that I never looked for 1 Yr course ever in the journey of preparation of MBA. This year in April only I started thinking and came to know abt 1 Yr MBA course. The matter is that at that moment of time I could apply only in KJS-Exec program and finally got offer letter too with CAT'11 Percentile of 82.94. Now someone please advice that whether I should wait for another year for XL GMP or for that matter any another 1-Yr reputed course or I should join KJS. Please advice. May be slightly I am getting off the thread discussion. But I think that ppl here will be helping me out with their respnse.

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.

In addition, if any one is withdrawing, please update that as well. Any news at this time is precious for WL candidates who are close to 39.

Thanks

any idea if they have a cut off date for sending the offer ? I mean 31st may should be the max (even though that also leaves 15 days for the NP) ?

You are right, it is not good to speculate. But the admission office only says that wait and you will get an email if you get thru. They are not able to give any timeline even a tentative one. Every day is eating into very little time left for notice period if one gets thru.

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.

WL 39 is also thru... thanks Swastik for confirming on fb ! hufff... few more to go...

As per some quotes above, assuming mails were sent till WL 35 on 7th and till WL 37 on 8th .. I guess the WL candidates who got confirmation mails in first list were asked to pay by 14th .. so if few of them wouldn't have paid by 14th, the WL would have moved beyond 37 .. does it mean that there is no veccant seat now and that is why no WL movement after 14th?
Also, even if the WL moves .. the amount of time remaining is so little that every days delay is making it more difficult to get released

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

WL 37 had got the email on 8th, very next day of 2ND LIST. No emails were sent after 8th, so guys don't loose hope, as the XL Admission guy says, wait and please keep checking emails!!!

rohit1981 Says

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

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

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?

Please advise.

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.

You stand to lose Rs. 1000/- if you withdraw before course commences. That's a standard as per AICTE norms. I suppose the college has mentioned this in the email they must've sent you.
btw, may I ask what school are you waiting to hear from?

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.

Hope this helps..

1. Saving 1.5L is OK but look for broader prospects! Taking 1 Year break is in itself a big deal which adds up to the fees paid by some 8-9L pa. And 3 months (assuming from current batch and new pay-package) will sum up to 1.5-2L around. Hope you understand my calculations :)!!

2. (a) Declining an offer does not necessarily mean Good Jobs!! Quality Jobs are more important!!! Official Update will only come once the course has started.

(b)I agree but The scenario was bad in GMP to somewhat greater extent as all the persons joining were experienced still the average package was less in comparison to 2 Yr programs and other 1 Yr programs.

3. As everyone agrees 3 Months is a long time at this stage of life when we in our early 30s. Most of us are not bachelors I assume!!

4. International Immersion was the charm of the Program as no other college offers such exposure. I have enquired with many ex-students who said it was quite a good learning experience and it definitely Adds to your CV post-GMP.

5. For timing, it is still unclear!!

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 ?

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.

Hello friends,

Unfortunately not...I was wondering on the same point whether we will get a confirmation officially..!!

Hi.. Ny update beyond 35 waiting list??

Sorry for multiple posts as there was some error yesterday while posting..


Got the confirmation yesterday but also got to know that the course is 15 Months. It means We will be Jobless for 3 More Months and after that the Package will not be that big either!!


Looking towards the Current Trend of Placement, there is decline in it from last year's. So Skeptical what to do now.


Why would AICTE Approval required in 1st Place???


Also International Immersion has been scraped from the course!!! SO no more Exchange Program!!!!

So plz advice..

its not good to compare B schools but then Great lakes is also a good school with some very good professors and the placement has also been very good..rest all depends on your evaluation...

Duplicate..

@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.

what happens to d ppl who r still waitlistd...?? will it move further..?? seniors, pls share ur experiences from last yr....

Though I am not a senior, I am posting since you have not got a response yet. The seniors can correct me if I am wrong.

Looking at last year's thread, waitlisting had cleared till 33 as part of the first list. They also had a second list announced where the numbers in the 40's were cleared. You can check out last year's thread for more details.

In my opinion, the second list should be announced if you have waitlisters in the first list who do not accept the offer. The second list should be announced after the last date of fees payment for the folks who made it through the first list.
