Hello,

I have already mentioned the GD comprises of GD and Group activity which could be anything like a case study or problem solving in a group.
Individual Interaction is almost similar to PI , but it even includes Activities which will be testing ur creativity. It could be on ur hobby or on a general basis like to formulate a plan for a trip to Mumbai etc..

So, be prepared with everything!!

Hey all,

I hope u all have started the prep. and it might be going in full momentum.
I would even ask other fellow colegues of mine, to help u with any queries if any.
Also, we all would be there at the time of ur GE/PI session. You can clarify your doubts from anyone.
Also, try to focus on some team building activities, case studies etc, so that u don't fall short of ideas for the same.

1. Do Not miss daily coverage on newspapers and specially economic issues.
2. And even focus on some more websites like Banking in India Banks of India Banking Data Loan in India Interest Rate
and www. banknetindia.com
Try to read the updates of banking sector there.
Websites of IRDA and other govt. firms are even beneficial to get the database.

Still, if any other queries are there, feel free to contact .


I would soon post names of some hotels which would be helpful for outstation candidates.

Regards
Abhishek

Hi Abhishekda,

What can be the best option if someone is travelling from the railway station? should i take an auto to come to s.b road? how long will it take? i have interview on 2nd feb, 2 30pm.

If u are coming from the station, u can either take an auto rickshaw, which will take u to Symbiosis at SB road within half an hour.

Else, take a bus to E-Square, which is a renouned movie theatre and then take an auto from there. from E-square it will take 15 mins.

So according to ur comfortability and ur time constraints, manage ur trip.

Still if anybody needs any sort of help, feel free to call me up anytime.

Regards

Hey all,


For ur clarification, I would tell you that SIBM and SSBM sre in the same campus with two different identities. Also the campus has two more colleges SIMC and SITM.

As Symbiosis , Lavale is in the outskirts of the city, U have to get to a wing of Symbiosis at S.B. Road( Senapati Bapat Road). From there, buses have been arranged for u guys, which will bring u and take back you to S.B. Road.. The timings of the buses would be put on on the official website of SSBM probably on 28th Jan.

Regarding some hotels, Plz check out this link, I hope u wud get the best deal according to ur choice.
Still if u have problems, do let me know:-

Where to Stay : Symbiosis International University (SIU)

Hey all,

As far as summer internships are concerned, almost half the class is placed.
Companies like DCB, Angel Broking, BOB, RBI, Religare, SMC, L& T Finance, SBI General INsurance and many more have already recruited students.

The summer internship process are still going on, and we expect other Banks and Financial Sector Firms to walk in.

Most of them have offered stipend, which due to privacy reason could not be disclosed.
And the profiles offered are in Finance , Marketing and even Research and Analysis.

I guess I have covered everything .

Still if u have any other queries , do let me know!!

All the best

Abhikekh, the location of ssbm is lavale rite? so we hav to put up at a hotel at lavale i suppose??

Ya,
SSBM is located at Lavale only.
And u have to find out some hotels in the city,

I would soon update the names of the hotels which would be cheaper and suit u all guys!!

As more and more people are getting keen to know about the profiles and placements being offered.
There ought to come some response from seniors.

As per last threat on SSBM queries.
http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/other-exams-xat-fms-jmet/58443-ssbm-2010-a.html
It was supposed to be done by this time.
What is the case seniors -please update us abt it?

Mine GD is on 4 fab. What is total seat and what is ratio of calling per seat
What kind of placement de.

SNAP 105 marks and i have 2.5 years IT work exp :lookround:

My doubt is a finance company will consider my IT exp in placement

Hey,

I have mentioned the placements and the banks which are going on in the campus.
Also, as far as ur work ex is concerned , it will surely be considered.

Thanx

Abhishek

Hey all,

I guess there are posts regarding change of dates for an interview!!
There is no such provision of change in dates of the GE/PI.

So, u all have to be present at least half an hour prior to the start of the process.
Formal dress code is mandatory.

Formal dress for guys would include, Formal trouser, shirts, tie or a buiseness suit.
For gals:- Saree, Buiseness suits, or Formal salwaar -kameez, but they should be decent !!

I hope the word DECENT is understood by both the sexes.

The ratio of students to be selcted would be approx. 12:1.
So, the process is not a simple one!!

Anything else puys!!

Cheers
All the best
Abhishek

Hey i have doubt in formal dress code is suit is necessary ?

as i am thinking only to Formal shirt, paint and tie
plz suggest

hi

HI ABHISHEK

I have got a call from ssbm
As u being from the first batch I would like to know any rough ideas about the placements which u guys would get...
i know this is the q for urself as well but i have other calls too like sitm and siom

and i am kind of a marketing guy
so i would prefer going for ssbm if the placements turns out to be above 5.5 or so roughly...

What i dont want at the end of 2 yrs is low placement on top of it non interest in banks...

Do banks sector provide marketing in bfsi sector or financial sector as well at ur institute....


Please give me the real picture...

Last q can dates of gd pi be postponed...


thanks a lot mate...

Hi,

No issues as far as marksheets are concerned!!
But you should carry the previous years marksheets and attest them.

Also, make sure you get ur originals done at the time of taking admission.

the one who starts a g.d...gets him/her the additional advantage or is the panel just looking for the content that u speak...is weightage given to communication skills,confidence etc....

Hello,

This is a pre concieved notion students usually have.
It is never the same. If a student who speaks say after 3 people have spoken with a genuine , valid point, he will be given a weightage.

So, don't try to jump in the pool , just because, u will be noticed!!

Abhishek

@Abhishek
that was very informative piece of information...
thank you.

You're most welcum!!

Hey Swati,

Congrats!!
U can start with going the websites of RBI, BSE, NSE, and try to know what are the basics and the current data of India's GDP, NDP, Inflation rates and bank rates!

Also, focus on Current topics and advancements in banking industry.

Like there ws a reshufflement of Cabinet ministry.
Try to know why and whats the present scenerio.

These topics are a must to read and know!!

@Abhishek
Thanks for the new thread..
Can u tell us what type of topics can we expect in GD??

And if u can summarize ur GD/PI experience of last year then it would be really helpful for all of us...

Hey,

The GD last year was based on different topics.
The topics were both general and from financial markets.
There were topics like Sub prime crisis, Role of GDP and NDP in Indian's economy and many more.

I will suggest you guys some things:-

1. Be prepared to get topics on Economics and Indian Banking Industry.
2. The GD will be content based, so try to be strong on facts while u speak.
3. The Group activity which u guys have might include Case study or Problem solving techniques!!
Read through the scams and the practice case studies!!

4. Also, the intake ratio is 12: 1. So, this approximately means every GD would eventually result in A leader only.

Regarding the PI:-

1. Questions were asked on Finance sector.
2. Also, if u are working , u will be asked to justify that and questions on that industry.
3. We were asked to bring in one page CV, and were interviewed on that even. So write sensibly in ur CV's.
4. Do not try to give some pre made answers, like why banking ? etc..

I hope this might clarify ur thoughts..

I will try to try and arrange some topics for u guys to study!!
Give me some more time!!

Also, ask ur friends to be updated on this thread.

Regards
Abhishek
