Hello all pguys I am a first year student at LIBA Chennai this year for the session 2007-09 and I want to share all the experiences and exposure that I have at LIBA so that people who have to apply to LIBA will find it easy to know things about LIBA well in advance before the entrances start.:)

can join LIBA through recommendations?

can join LIBA through recommendations?

can we join LIBA through recommendations?

I have one Q: In any B school, students have 2 choose specialisation when they enter their 2nd year. Do everyone get what they opt for or some have to satisfy themselves with what they are given? I asked this because this decides our future and thought this would be important. What if many students opt for one particular specialisation? What would be done in that case?

@seniors
This thread throws much light on the happening life at LIBA..Thanks to you..I have been selected for 20010-12 batch..So,One query..Has any of the seniors in 2009-2011 batch taken up Systems as a specialization..major or minor..?On LIBA's site i could find various combinations of specializations taken up for current batch..but none having systems.
Is there something like a minimum number of students required for a specialization stream to be formed?

Life @ LIBA certainly seems good by all your posts. Does LIBA have a gym or something ( sorry if am sounding naive but i thought this thread would be the apt one for answering this ).
how is Hostel accommodation?

yes, We do have a gym; its a common gym on campus which is shared by all loyola students. not a gr8 1, but it should suffice.:D
the hostel accommodation is gud. 1 student per room & well maintained...

@pri

thank you very much. you r rocking . atleast to meet you i will try hard to get into LIBA

@ramapriyan:
first of all, to get thru LIBA or as a matter of fact, any top-notch B school u need to clear the reqd sectional cut-off. Last year, it was 82 percentile in QA in XAT.

HR in LIBA is good. In fact, last year it won the Devang Mehta award for the best HR syllabus among all B schools in India. Owing to recession, last year due to recession the HR students did get placed with greater difficulty than the other specializations.

Apart from Finance and HR, the other specializations on offer at this moment in LIBA are Marketing and Operations. Now to specialize in Finance, u need to know quants, but let me tell you that here at LIBA we do have several arts grads opting for core FIN and doing very well at it. I think the attitude rather than the aptitude that matters.

For placements, u may or may not have to appear for quants apti test. It solely depends on the company and who said only Fin ppl need to appear for it?

In the end, I would advice at this point to focus on XAT, get the reqd overall and sectional percentiles. then work on GD and PI. get through LIBA, see for yourself which subjects u like and then decide which specialization to take. Its ridiculous to decide on it so early and with so much of biases! All the best!

@pritha


i am an MBA aspirant and i am aiming for LIBA ,but my query is, in BIM trichy this time HR have not been placed till now where as all the other specialization people hav been placed. what is the scope of HR in LIBA???then i heard for placement process the people those who r studying FINANCE will be having aptitude test before getting into the interview process. is this true???where as other dept people wil be through direct interview. And i am very weak in QUANT ,will this affect me of getting into FINANCE dept??? what amount of MATHS knowledge we need to study FINANCE.please give an idea regarding this? then which specialzation is mostly preferred by the companies . i dont want HR and MARKETING. i am a bit of confusion of opting FINANCE nd plz do help me in that case. then what about GENERAL MANAGEMENT and RETAIL mangt course?? is it worth doing it as i heard only FINANCE people will hav a higher package when compared to other specialization. how far it is true????


thank you

thanks Pritha !

what is the timing of liba????????????

@all: there is the separate thrad in PG handling queries related to LIBA 10-12 admissions. please post your queries here-http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/other-exams-xat-fms-jmet/44261-liba-admissions-2010-a-11.html

@gracelyne: Interested candidates generally are required to write an SOP as and when the requirement arises. Then they are interviewed by the college as well as the concerned overseas authorities. Sometimes one requires to make presentations, case studies to qualify. It all varies. Sometimes the college also puts down some eligibility criteria depending on the number of applicants and specialization

@dwai20: complete fees structure actually means the fees break up semester wise for the two years.
whatever, 4.04L is the fees for 2 years.

@pagal:

please call the the LIBA admissions office directly and get it clarified. Because we are having a semester break now and hence not in touch with the college. U will find the number in the LIBA site

HEy can a LIBA senior tell me what is the last date for online registration for LIBA..... i went thru LIBA's website and in FAQs under INPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER it says:

What are the application deadline dates for the 2009 PGDM Application?

1. XAT online registration Begins: September 1, 2009 Issue of XAT Bulletin begins at SBI Branches: September 1, 2009 LIBA online registration begins: September 24, 2009 Issue of XAT Bulletin closes at XAT Office, XLRI: November 30, 2009 XAT online registration closes: November 30, 2009 XLRI Admissions Test (XAT 2010): January 3, 2010 LIBA online registration closes: February 10, 2010 Receipt of LIBA application fees closes: February 17, 2010

THIS IS A BIG CONTRADICTION....... CAN someone calrify it ????????????????

@gracelene: not half the course but one whole trimester u can do. Also u can do foreign internships through LIBA. This year quite a few of them are going for exchange progs and courses at Washington, Univ of Dayton, Katholica Univ, Germany as well as internships with companies like Delloite, Audi etc.

Cool!! :w00t:
So when does this whole process begin & on what basis??
Who decides who goes where...
Need a clearer understanding on this whole process.
Somebody F1 plz

Dear Pritzz,

By complete fee structure I meant the fees for the both the years ... i guess 4.04L is for two years right ?

Dear Shreya,
In LIBA there is no back door entry. But there is a back gate which opens only in the evening(6 to 9 p.m.). Entry through that gate is free. Jokes apart, if you wish to get into LIBA utilize this one month available to get good percentile in XAT. You will never be able to buy a seat in LIBA. All the best for your XAT exam.

how much does a back door entry cost?

@dwai20: Complete fee structure as in?? The tuition fees for our batch is 4 lakhs 4 thousand. And the hostel and mess fees come up to a little less than 1 lakh more for 2 years.

Hi Seniors !

Great work ... keep it up .... i must say that all of you are very patient in answering our queries and sharing all your experiences with us ...

I would like to know about the complete fee structure of LIBA ....

Thanks!

Needed to know if there's an option for doing half the course abroad.. like some major instis offer..
ALso would be grateful if some1 could shed some light on the student exchange program.
thanks in advance
Seasons Greetings! :

here rather marks are deducted for low attendance (less than 90%) ...so its one and the same!

Thanks a lot pritha for clarifying my doubts ..... hmmm marks for attendance..!!! they still follow that in B-school??

@nuf

u seem to have a lot of issues!

nonetheless->

1st week of June is the tentative start of classes for first year, unless there's some english foundation course at the last week of may

Classes start on most days from 8 and if you are lucky, it may go on till 6! we have good enough breaks of varied lengths, the lunch break being the longest- 1.15pm to 2:30 pm

We do have classes on saturdays but all depends. This time, the 1st years dont have sat classes whereas our seniors have.

the grading system is relative-> ask all our friends to score badly, then u stand a good chance to get a high grade!

we have 2-3 tests per subject per trimester add to it project work, assignment and or term papers, attendance. all these add up to the final grade. it is actually not that scary as it sounds. in the end since the pressure is distributed, u hardly feel the end term!
