Hi ,

There is some news , GIM has launched an open source academic information system called Hibiscus .... which will carry all the details concerning the course .. the grades , timetable , reports etc ..

this is what it looks like

Hibiscus

Source Goa Institute of Management, Ribandar Goa India, India's premier Management Institute.

Capstone was incorporated in the 6th trimester of our seniors .. read on for more about capstone


Capstone
Capstone is a Business Simulation game developed by Management Simulations Inc. It is a means to apply skills learnt in different fields like marketing, finance, HR, and operations throughout MBA. The game tests the analytical abilities of participants by requiring them to base their decisions on a large volume of data generated all through the game about the industry and competitors. The game also encourages teamwork; as all members of a team have to work together in order to succeed against teams in a competitive environment.
The game has marketing, finance, production, HR, TQM and R&D; modules where in teams can set values that affect several parameters leading to points on a Balanced Scorecard. Teams are measured on Profit, ROE, ROS, Asset Turnover and other parameters. The game also allows for peer evaluation and comprehensive debriefing sessions.
This gives the PGP-2 students a chance to try out the skill they have picked up through the two years of academic rigour, in real time, and against one another. And ideally positioned in the 6th term, post placement, it gives the students enough time to do justice to the demanding schedule required for Capstone.
Goa Institute of Management is one of the very few elite business schools in the country who have taken this initiative.

Hey Guys....

Signing off from the GIM network in a few hours....

Had an amazing time with you guyz making my second year at GIM far more memorable than the first....:)

I'm sure u gonna rock placements n otherwise

All the very best....surely gonna miss ya :)

And as the status msg says....Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again....

Stay in Touch :)


=====================================

We will send word when we may, and some of us may yet meet at times; but I fear that we shall not all be gathered together ever again
Gimli in the Lord of the rings
Its a time of parting, a time to somehow bid a painful goodbye to the place they so lovingly called home, GIM to the outsiders, but the world to the inmates. Two years in the quest of an MBA, brought together people from varied backgrounds, education and ages, and made friends for life. As all good things come to an end, so had the stay at GIM. We were witness to the good byes, the futile struggle to hold back the tears, the exchange of phone numbers and email addresses with the promise of keeping in touch.
This was the mood at GIM , happy yet sad , hopeful yet apprehensive ... It made me think ... the days isnt far when I would be in the same place that they are now .... Then I conciously decided , I am going to make the last year of my stay at GIM , one of the most memorable ever ...
GIM is so beautiful , there just can never be any other bschool like GIM ... When I first came to GIM , I was so dejected on seeing it ... actually compared it to a jail ... but now , its a part of me ... I live an breath GIM ....
The seniors they all have left .. now we suddenly find that we are the seniors , with no one to go to , to ask advise , its us now , whom people would be turning to take advise
A new batch has come in , they will be reaching GIM around the 15th ... some would be dissapointed , some will be happy ,. some will love teh freedom , some would be apprehensive of it corrupting people ..
The same old stuff about mess food being not good , to what should be done to better the infrastructure will be heard . We second year guys will arrive late to find that our college has been taken over ... Should be fun interacting with them ...
I am so very missing GIM , somehow hate the guys who are doing their summers there in Goa , But yes have to carry the GIM legacy high .. though the first phase of my project seems nearly impossible , but will do my best and go all out to do it ...
will write later

Hi ,

Its been a long time since I posted on this thread ... guys have gone for their summers .. I am here in bangalore ... doing a project on CRM for CCD ... Got a chance to be at a pg meet today .....

Hi ,

I am posting this article written by gk_del aka Girish Khara .. He wrote this article for the alumni newsletter .
*************************************************************************
Its time to bid adieu to the place which has been my home for the past year and a half. I take with me rich memories, for I have been witness to scenes of joy with student joyous of having scored the highest in a course after working hard for it, to the scenes of pain when being stretched to submit numerous assignments on short deadlines, of triumphant moments after being placed in an organization which will give him the right platform to grow as a professional. I have being witness to the transformation of students into managers & of GIM growing stronger.
During my stay I have indulged in the usual B Schooler activites, Bakar, niteouts, rushhour etc. But I also indulged in some activites unique to GIM as a B School. For I will cherish the assignments written on the beach, the cigi smoke sessions with the prof at Casa de Cha or the case discussions at Genes. I will remember the getaways to the beaches, the intellectual discussions at the Morgue steps or the managerial bakar in the Hostel corridors. Will cherish the unforgettable case discussions in Mirchis classes or the submissions filled with comments based on the Macro economic situations in Golus courses. For my during me stay at GIM, the takeaways are several, the giveaways are few. I passout as a proud alumni of this institution which is housed in a heritage hospital building, but has achieved the reputation as one of the best B Schools in the country.
Apart from the academic learnings, I have experienced some of the most unique lessons outside the classrooms, which are essential in the making of a successful manager. The rowdy club parties on the OT first floor or the gun rattling sounds echoing the OT ground floor corridors with the residents undertaking Counter Strike Missions. The midnight cricket matches organized by the Morgue fraternity or the exclusive GBMs organized by the nature loving Hilltop gunners or the JIT entrance to the class by the admin residents. All these acts have taught me the implementation of management concepts like espirit de corps orappropriatedivision of workormixing pleasure with work. In true essence, GIM has been the best training ground for me before I enter the battlefield.
I carry with me this priceless treasure. The treasure box comprising of memories which will be fresh for decades to come, Experiences which have been the most enriching and friends who will be there for a lifetime.
Adeus GIM.

The clock seems to have changed with the generations. It is more of a flip clock, like the ones in the cricket score boards of the good ol' days. Nostalgia is setting in. Dunno how I am gonna adjust anywhere else

Welcome back sushant

Hi Gary ,

The news does travel fast , I was to post about the countdown clock , had gone out , and just returned .. and you beat me at this one :)

yes the countdown is ticking ... and it at the moment reads 23 more days to go .. I couldnt fathom , whether the seniors are happy at seeing the 23 days .. or were they sad ..

I somehow felt that they were happy ... they were happy that they still have 23 more days to be at a lovely loving place called GIM :)

The clock seems to have changed with the generations. It is more of a flip clock, like the ones in the cricket score boards of the good ol' days. Nostalgia is setting in. Dunno how I am gonna adjust anywhere else

Kiran Bedi ... whom millions have grown idolizing was there amongst us in flesh and blood .. thanks to the hardwork and persistence of the Ribandar Talks committee .. Mrs Bedi herself appreciated the persistence showed by the committee in bringing her down here ..

It was such a pleasure to listen to her... and the one thing that struck me the moment she started her talk was the vibrant youthfulness in her ..despite being in her fifties , she had a childlike enthusiasm and go getting spirit in her .. which is so much in short supply these days ...

I who isnt that good a listener .. especially at public speeches was sitting at the edge of my chair , listening to each and every word that she was saying , her mannerisms , her enthusiasm ..

Frankly speaking I have never ever seen a spirited lady like her before .. And I bet those who were sitting next to me hadnt also .

She had very interesting anecdotes ... one of them was regarding the famous Zuari bridge.Earlier when there was no bridge people used to cross the river zuari using ferries , her black ambassador was a regular on that ferry . There used to be heavy traffic jams , and for the alleviation of that the zuari bridge was constructed.

Actually the bridge over the river which was constructed in the year 1983, was to be inaugurated by Mrs. Indira Gandhi. However, it so happened that Mrs. Gandhi could not turn up on two occasions and the bridge could not be thrown open to the public . On the third instance, Mrs. Kiran Bedi who was then the SP Traffic of Goa at the time couldnt take this official apathy any longer , she thought why should the peopel whom we are meant to serve suffer . hence Mrs. Kiran Bedi herself removed the boulders blocking the bridge with the help of her driver and then shouting out Aa jao aa jao with she herself leading the way from one side of the bridge and then reaching half way through the bridge she called out to the traffic waiting on the other side to also cross over calling out . Aaage badho !! . Daro mat aage badho !! and slowly the traffic from both sides crossed the Zuari river bridge for the first time and so it was ultimately Mrs. Kiran Bedi herself who inaugurated the Zuari bridge which incidentally was supposed to be called the Gandhi bridge had she turned up for the inauguration.

The next day there obviously was a big furor raised by the authorities about the bridge being opened without the presence of Mrs. Gandhi and Mrs. Kiran Bedi was ready to face all of it. The incident narrated by her infact sums up her character which represents guts and not fearing to take the decision at the right time without fearing consequences.

According to her, we as individuals have already been formed with our likes/dislikes, values, relations, friends, eating habits etc. and hence at a management institute we need to be train ourselves continuously for facing the future. Infact, a management institute which is a knowledge centre needs to be transformed into a training centre, which in itself is a herculean task. Also she said that she always has sought to assert rights and this is only a way of seeking justice.

She also played a video relating to a BBC HardTalk Interview of hers with the famous Tim Sebastian she had in the year 1999 which infact was being played for the first time in front of an audience! As she spoke about the interview, she stated that the preparation for an interview is not of a day or two, rather it is a preparation of an entire life and hence we need to act now. She also stressed on the importance of planning ones career, self-introspection and always being aware of where one is headed towards, stating that every aspect including the pros and cons of a particular lifestyle as well the choice of ones marriage partner are also important factors !!

Infact she called upon the audience comprising of management graduates of Goa Institute of Management to make a focused effort to achieve a work-life balance in their careers giving enough time to spend with their family. Stressing on the importance of constantly updating and upgrading oneself, she said that we need to continually train ourselves professionally and personally. Professional training is one that can be acquired through books and through management institutes, however personal growth is something that cannot be acquired collectively in an institute but it is through self-introspection and is possible only individually by on ones own efforts.

Finally, she says that we are what are because of the influence of the books that we read, the company that we keep, the people who support us through our life and hence it is important to chose whom we make our friends, our associations, our life partner etc. as these are the people who impact our lives the most and shape our personality.

We just finished the Kiran Bedi talk as a part of Ribandar Talks. In her speech infront of a packed audience Prof. Sarita D'Souza today recognized the efforts of Abhijeet and Amartya infront of Kiran Bedi. They must be proud to hear this.

Meanwhile, aspire is expressing his enthrallment about the talk through his gtalk status message!!

Hi guys,
am feeling truly nostalgic after hearing about the countdown clock.
The countdown clock is a unique tradition in GIM.a paper clock with a singular hand is put up somewhere on the campus where it can be seen by all.

Hi guys,
am feeling truly nostalgic after hearing about the countdown clock.
The countdown clock is a unique tradition in GIM.a paper clock with a singular hand is put up somewhere on the campus where it can be seen by all.

the clock has marking from 30 to 1.

It is put up a month before the last day of term for the 2nd year guys.Everyday one esteemed member of the batch passing out will decrease the count by 1, so that they can keep tabs on how many days are left before they bid goodbye to their alma mater.

we generally get it kicking by letting the senior most guy do the honors on the first day..our case it was Gurpreet paaji...whos doin it fr u guys..Manoj Bhai?

PS: manoj bhai..in no way did i mean to indicate that you are less younger than the others!

Hi ,

Just back from a wondeful party ... It was the post placement party orgainised by the PGP2 and RAZZMATAZ , our own party club ...

The party was at Paradiso which is one of the best discotheques in Anjuna , just on the beach , the dinner was excellent ... we danced a lot ... it was an open discotheque so could even get the cool sea breeze ...

The drive back is always great from such a picturesque place like anjuna ... the roads are so so clean ....they just are out from a fairy tale book ...Its fun to drive on these roads ... I bet many seniors would be missing these great Goan roads .....

Had great fun , enjoyed a lot ... seemed a little odd to me .. that here we are all carefree dancing away .. and on the other side we have the anxious GIM applicants , biting away at their nails in anticipation ...

Its time to hit the bed... very very tired .. because of the nonstop horrible dancing that I did ;)

cya guys around

Arre do not talk about puys like these.. Nothing stole him.. He only went.. And the moment he took that decision, he was pick pocketed at Howrah Station. And now he says he misses Goa.. Then why did he leave ! Who asked him ??? Koi jawab hai iska ! :(

Kyun Sumitro dada ! Sahi bola na..

Keep rocking ! We puys at GIM do wish you a happy and fantabulous time ahead ! Rock On !

oye saurav paaji,

tussi to naraz ho gaye apne bhai pe .....actually to put a few facts in order, i was indeed pick-pocketed at howrah station but that was when i reached there for my gd/pi (just 2 days after the GIM gd/pi at goa)......maybe it wuz god's signal that kgp ain't a lucky place for me but fate landed me here, now lets see where i land up from here.....but yes, for me saurav was (and will always be) a driving force during those days on pg and one of the main reasons why am so active today in helping out aspirants.......way to go saurav (hope dat's sufficient makkhan-maalish for now dada )

U forgot me? :sneaky:

Naah Mahip Bhai ! Never.. Just that i took the names of the pals whom i interacted with when i was nascent on PG..

But on a serious note, i must append to the list. These are the people whom i met when i was little old on PG but then they have been a good source of inspiration and energy for me..

The list goes like this - Rohit from PG HQ, Mahip and Sachin from PG Police (Choose to call this today), Paras, Pallavi and the list goes on...

But the old puys will always have a special place !

Hope no one is offended at the end of the day ! Ku Mahip bhai, mere next Bday par mere liye card banaoge na.. Please !

Mahip Says

U forgot me? :sneaky:

He can never forget u..its juss dat he cnt take names out here (he wana live for another 'n' yrs --where 'n' lies between 0

Mahip Says

A Diary of a Schooler !

by this time had made my debut on PG and it opened a new world to me.. Talking to puys across and the country and trying to help them out... There were times when lost my temper on some of them but by this time had made quite a good frens on PG which included some of the big names of current times like Shailesh, Monil, Gulshan, Sumitro, Abhishek and Sonia..

U forgot me?

Saurav Paaji..

Gr8 post yaar..Its only been a lil over Six months in GIM and boy does this place hypnotizes you..i can pretty well understand what saurav and other seniors would be experiencing nowadays..

ITS JUST DAMN DIFFICULT TO LEAVE GIM...

You connect to it at different levels..Then you hav ur batchmates ,all different from different parts of the country..and yet we come so close..The Breakfasts and lunches at JOES or CASA..Then those Wonderful evenings at Genes...Life does not stops being exciting here..

The Group assignments..the Library visits..Night 2 o clock and bakar in front of canteen..no traces of sleep and still energetic..

All the festivals you could think of are all celebrated with gr8 enjoyment..Id,Diwali,Lohri,Durga Pooja,Saraswati Pooja,Christmas..Things like Religion just disappear here..

Mandovi just in front of college..The peace of mind is all the time provided to you without any expectations..

SO much happening yet so much serenity..i can bet my life on this no other Bschool can provide this...

GIM has already made a very big and special place in my heart and i am happy that another gr8 and gud year is waiting for me here..

I wud nt want to leave GIM ..but i have to lik others..But I will Keep coming back to MY GIM...

Three Cheers To GIM..

It was lush green and the 34 Km drive passed in anxiety with numerous calls to family, friends and of course admissions office as it was already 5 Pm.

When i realised that i said this, i knew it was a making of an MBA...

Poor Dad ! Till today he calls it Left Hand Wing of the College !

September 16' 2006

The Guy who has always been to bed at 2200 Hrs had caught a nack of going to bed not before 0300 Hrs in the morning... Someone, who feared making presentations before an audience was damn neat at it by that time..
December 17' 2005

Placements were on and the feeling in the campus was different. Even the trees and the walls gave a new look and seemed that they had risen to the occasion.

Before i could feel happy about the same, was badly spanked on campus and then I realised.. If at all you have to feel happy at GIM or a great news breaks out, your bums have to pay for it !

September 10' 2006

Was the Student Coordinator for the national level logistics Conference named Conferencia Logistica organised by Goa Institute of Management at one of the five star properties in Goa and the same was attended by corporates of the highest stature with the likes of Mr. Douglas Bailie, CEO, Hindustan Level Ltd. & The Group Vice-President of Unilever Companies in South Asia and Mr. V Thulasidas, CMD, Air India.
January 12' 2007

And thats it ! Have reached a place from where its really difficult to think about leaving the campus.. June 30' 2005 looks as if it was just yesterday. GIM gave tons to me whilst my 2 year of stay but looks like now it will take more than a ton when i graduate and bid my bye to the campus..

The serenity of the campus, the 300 Plus year old Buildings and the aroma will keep reminding me of this place in the decades to come.. If at all, i could express my feelings for the same..

For the time being, I stand and Salute the campus.. Its not what it takes to be here, but what it takes not to be here..

Guess, this remains the longest post of mine on PG and will continue to remain so.. Wishing all the very best to the set of new intellectuals of GIM. Its worth staying here.. Do enjoy the place and on a lighter note feel miserable when you leave..

Great post .... I have selected some sentences from the post ,which have a lot of meaning ....I know what the applicants would be worried of , after reading through the post ... Not everyone sleeps for 3 hours .. there are people who sleep a full 8 hrs .. I am at a comfortable 6.5 hrs :)...

Yes MBA Is an enriching experience , provided you interact a lot with your peers , your personality develops by leaps and bounds .

Will write about my life @ gim next year nearly the same time ... and trust me .. its going to be a really long post ...

The day which is still loud and clear in my mind. Flew from Kolkata to Goa via Bangalore. A bad weather welcomed me in Goa and the aircraft made landing amidst strong headwinds and pouring water on a drenched slippery runway. Took me around 5 minutes to realise that Dabolim Airport and Goa Airport is one and the same thing.

i told u na fatso...dat u can be a nice writer..u never agreed...newaz lemme wat u hav written ur writeup on ur entry into GIM reminds me of 'rockford'...n about srk's entry in K3G..n anupam kher's ddlj walah scene..n preity zinta's 'kya kehna' wala thng..deres so much to pick up frm bollywood.. n hona bhi chahiye.. u r a star..

And Guess what, was one of those 10 privileged guys who got to stay in the Girls' Hostel for a year.

"What does LH expand to ?" And i replied with precision, Left Hand Wing of the College.. When i realised that i said this, i knew it was a making of an MBA...

And most important of all, some one who has always been a 80 % or plus till bachelors was so damn satisfied with a 5 pointer...

5 pointer:eh: someone is being toooooooooo modest

There were times when lost my temper on some of them but by this time had made quite a good frens on PG which included some of the big names of current times like Shailesh, Monil, Gulshan, Sumitro, Abhishek and Sonia..

i belong to dis "some of dem" :(..bt den hw does it matter..despite my continous bullying..u answered my queries!

And very sooner, i got a pre placement offer from them. Before i could feel happy about the same, was badly spanked on campus and then I realised.. If at all you have to feel happy at GIM or a great news breaks out, your bums have to pay for it !

u still owe me a treat

A bad weather welcomed me in Goa and the aircraft made landing amidst strong headwinds and pouring water on a drenched slippery runway. Took me around 5 minutes to realise that Dabolim Airport and Goa Airport is one and the same thing. And then a cab to Ribandar.. It was lush green and the 34 Km drive passed in anxiety with numerous calls to family, friends and of course admissions office as it was already 5 Pm.

Met Jenifer at Admissions and boy, she was so helpful. Then off to Prof Madan (Hostel Warden) to get myself a room allotted. And Guess what, was one of those 10 privileged guys who got to stay in the Girls' Hostel for a year. Before i could grab the keys and settle in the room, dad called up to take the address to mail me something and there went the address on the phone. LH - 97, Goa Institute of Management, Ribandar, Goa - 403 006 with LH expanding to Ladies Hostel.. And the momentary shock came to me, when he asked me, "What does LH expand to ?" And i replied with precision, Left Hand Wing of the College.. When i realised that i said this, i knew it was a making of an MBA...

Poor Dad ! Till today he calls it Left Hand Wing of the College !

September 16' 2006

Term I had come to an end the previous night and was scheduled to fly to Cal via Mumbai. Had a sleepless night with the campus being virtually empty as most of the mates left on 15th nite itself. Reflecting back that day, I could see a different saurav. Someone who had changed a lot.. Hopefully for Good.. The Guy who has always been to bed at 2200 Hrs had caught a nack of going to bed not before 0300 Hrs in the morning... Someone, who feared making presentations before an audience was damn neat at it by that time.. Some one who needed atleast 7 hours of sleep a day was damn happy with a 3 hour grabbie.. And most important of all, some one who has always been a 80 % or plus till bachelors was so damn satisfied with a 5 pointer...

December 17' 2005

And with 10 more weeks, came another term to an end.. Placements were on and the feeling in the campus was different. Even the trees and the walls gave a new look and seemed that they had risen to the occasion. The previous day got summers in Tata VSNL, Mumbai in Corporate Finance.. And before i could feel happy about getting the summers in the area i wanted, i had to leave for my hometown due to the sudden unexpected demise of grandma.. That 7 hour flight to Bagdogra from Goa with transits at Mumbai and Kolkata was killing and mentally tiring..

March 24' 2006

And the first year at GIM came to an end.. Saw the seniors graduating and leaving the campus in tears.. Could feel their heart as almost half of my life has been in Hostels.. But by this time had made my debut on PG and it opened a new world to me.. Talking to puys across and the country and trying to help them out... There were times when lost my temper on some of them but by this time had made quite a good frens on PG which included some of the big names of current times like Shailesh, Monil, Gulshan, Sumitro, Abhishek and Sonia..

By now, the GD PI sessions for juniors were over and the final results came out 20 minutes before i was to leave for Kolkata on this very day.. And i told, be ready to welcome a new set of intellectuals on the campus after summers..

June 17' 2006

Back at GIM after three months.. But all looked the very same.. Just that there were tons of new faces all around the corner and the so called Introductory sessions of Juniors (hate to call them juniors though) was on.. My Summers had been quite an eventful one and there was so so much to cherish.. At the end of it, i knew that i had met my own expectations or may be even surpassed it by a decent Margin.. The best part was that i made a good no. of pals out there and we are still in touch..

And very sooner, i got a pre placement offer from them. Before i could feel happy about the same, was badly spanked on campus and then I realised.. If at all you have to feel happy at GIM or a great news breaks out, your bums have to pay for it !

September 10' 2006

The most eventful term for me on campus.. My most dedicated time on campus.. Not towards the academic courses though.. Was the Student Coordinator for the national level logistics Conference named Conferencia Logistica organised by Goa Institute of Management at one of the five star properties in Goa and the same was attended by corporates of the highest stature with the likes of Mr. Douglas Bailie, CEO, Hindustan Level Ltd. & The Group Vice-President of Unilever Companies in South Asia and Mr. V Thulasidas, CMD, Air India. This term went in a zippy and gave me the most comfortable times of my stay at GIM. The best part was the synergy between the two batches and the kind of holy atmosphere it created on campus.

And before the term could end, I earned myself a ticket to Belgium for the next three months along with two more mates and boy it was a different world..

December 25' 2006

The Exchange Programme was all over and me back on campus.. The Placements for my batch was over and out as well with everyone selling themselves to high end Cos for a premium and grabbing profiles of hot tins. And seemed that the Doctor has ordered for parties for us in this term. They seem to be never ending.. Anyways with Goan Beaches and the kind of accessories available should not parties be a daily affair at GIM !

Hi,

A year has passed , this time last year we were on the other side , anxious , worried tensed ,optimistic and with a whole lot of emotions ... Time seems to have flown , it seemed just like yesterday , when I used to have my doubts clarified , receive encouragements support from the two stalwarts of GIM srini and saurav ...There were other people also .. girish khara ... inder paaji .. being few of them ....

It was a feeling of nostalgia .. seeing people asking us about GIM , asking the very same questions that we were asking last year ... same worries , same apprehension.. same excitement ...

Time really flies in a bschool ... no wonder we end up working late nights before submission deadline and procastrinate otherwise;)

Life at a bschool has learning in it for everyone .. it teaches us a lot many things ... forget academics for a moment or rather for this post there is so much to learn from peers , so much to learn from the dedication of guys who were underdogs all through out and just rocked teh placements ...

so many stories .. so many books to read in the library ... so so amny things to do that it sometimes makes me really worried .. and I end up in a quandary .. from where do I stand my placement preparation...

I spent some time talking to seniors regarding my fear of finance ... and it seemed that even they felt the way I do now ... But still that didnt encourage me somehow to take finance next year ...

as of now I am in a limbo .. marketing it is ... but minors as systems ....

looks like I have a fair bit of research to do ...


will bore more

p.s the second guy from GIM is about to be certified now
