Hi Puys,
Just missed this awesome post. I just came across it and very much impressed after going thru the posts in this thread.As the admission is closed now I guess so wanted to know

(1) When would be induction for next batch?
(2) Do they take admission twice a year?
(3) I haven't given SNAP but have work exp more than one year. M I eligible for it?
(4) What is the selection process further? GD or PI
(5) How's the industry exposure of this course curriculum?

hi puys
i m also thinking abt it.but can any one gv me deatail information abt it.

Thanks Tanya.
Can i have a take on the Cutoffs of the SNAP Score?
Also, How are the seats Categorised ?
What is the placement scene ? Retail is going big ... how is the response to this course when it comes to the Recruitment by Big Retail Houses ?

The eligibility criteria is that the candidate should have taken the SNAP test OR, if he/she hasnt, then he/she should have a minimum of ne years work experience.

To apply you need to send a demand draft in for rs 1000 in favour of Director SIMS payable at pune and attach your name, phone number, email address, snap id number and contact details with it. after that they send you a login id and password which u use to download the form. Fill up the form and send it back to SIMS. Last date for receipt of completed application forms is 3rd march 2009

Course in Retail Banking ?
Sounds Interesting.. I am Looking for a Specialized Course Like this.
Can someone please give me the details on eligibility criteria and on how to apply...

my score wasnt that great...just a 48...
o really? i thought they were only offering marketing and sales profiles...job assurance is definitely important...i hear tat even some of the better b schools havent had 100 percent placements this year...

Hey guys...I've heard about the course too....there was an ad on the notice board at career forum. Ive already sent a request for an application from with my dd. Theyve got a website incase you guys wanna have a look....
SYMBIOSIS SIMS - PGD in Retail Banking & Sales
seems like a good deal....if you think about it theres recession and you still come out at par with the average graduate from BIMM etc with a gauranteed job in a bank like standard chartered...associate manager level...no credit card sales also! its affordable too...only one lakh for the year and you gte 80000 back in the form of the stipend.

ive applied too....wots ur score?i guess the competition will be high for gd/pi considering finding finance jobs is getting tough so with job assurance it seems like a safe bet..lets see

even i heard about it...looks like its a good course,especially if it is assuring me a job and that too with symbiosis brand name..the last date of sending the dd is 3rd march.i heard there is a gd and a pi round....any info on that?:robot::eyepop:

thanks chitra...
even i was thinking of the same.with a good brand name like standard chartered and that too assured job i am tempted..but how has the response been?this will be the second batch if i am not wrong......do u know any one who is doing it?

yeah..even i came across it..it seems to be very interesting..a course which is offering 100% confirm package and that too at this point when the recession is going on..and what else do we need..brand of SIMS blended with the brand of Standard Chartered..

Im surely gona apply...hope to get reply from those who are interested
