No, now you cannot see your form.

congratulations everyone. Well although i have never sat in Group Discussion of any B-school, yet i was an active participant of the same, when i was in school and in college.

Reading newspaper is compulsary (especially the editorial page). Also i came across a very interesting blog
http://www.selwynduke.com/

here the author writes about striking new topics and some of them quite controversial too. If you come across something interesting please share.

Hi, This is really urgent.
I seem to have misplaced my 10th std marksheet!!!!
I have the pass certificate with grades in each subject but no marks sheet.
I am applying for one asap....but what do i do for now???
Any alternate doc that I can provide? Will the pass certificate with grades do for the meantime? Will provide the marks sheet well before admissions.

Please help.
Could you check with the admissions office?

My GD is on the 27th please help me figure this one out!....do they need marks card or will grade card do?

2. Xth, XIIth, Graduation Marksheets

3. Recent Photo Identity Card

4. Print out of the call letter

5. PEN

6. Proof of any information you filled in the form

7. Proof of Govt Recg Achievement, if any

It won't harm if you have one photo copy as well.

Try to get the work ex certificate if possible. If not, then joining letter and the pay slips would suffice.

1. You are def getting a call.

2. The result link will be up on website by tomorrow.

3. Also check your spam folder, or the alternate email id you mentioned. Because few people got mails there as well.

4. All the best for preps of GD/PI.

Hii ...

My GIM ID is 105363
and XAT ID is XAT413656

XAT Percentiles are

QA - 91.8
ELA & LR - 75.91
DM - 93.36

Overall - 93.74

Considering the discussions on forums and other feedbacks, I believe my score should be enough to fetch a call. But I hv'nt recieved any kind of email from GIM, does that mean they hv'nt shortlisted me ?? I need help on this, GIM is one of the last ray of hope for me. Pls Help !!

It's been 5 days since the result is out and I am just shocked to see that the login link is still not up on GIM's website...
Not expected from a great insti like GIM of which i dream to become a part of...sad

1. I can understand that.

2. I would rather say that result is not yet out.

3. Just that mails are being sent one by one to all the call getters.

4. When I asked Mam Yesterday, she told me it should be up by Monday for sure. So request all to wait till Monday.. !!

A little insight into whats happening in GIM.


On Saturday 18th February, we had a highly unusual guest lecturer. Mr. Sivanandan, the top cop from Mumbai police give a lecture on corruption and its extensive penetration in the public domain in India. The top cop's role played by Malayalam superstar Mohanlal in the Hindi film Company is believed to have been inspired by Mr. Sivanandan.
He was also the man who prepared the draft of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act, and who had successfully investigated the IC 814
Kandahar hijack links in Mumbai.

He has served in various departments in Mumbai police (from being a superintendent of police in the intelligence department to immigration) and has been credited with its computerization post 1993. He took up the position of joint commissioner of police (crime) in 1998 when underworld gang violence was at an all-time high in Mumbai.

The students were in awe of such a grand personality and all the initial inhibitions in contributing to the interaction were overcome by the fact that he was very forthcoming and an ardent speaker. His talk encapsulated the importance of getting the public domain and the society largely rid of corruption for India's growth and development and to give us a competitive advantage over other countries. All the students were enraptured by the speaker and his experiences and anecdotes.

I'm happy that Ribandar talks invites a wide variety of speakers for its talks and does not only restrict itself to the corporate world. Supply chain managers and marketing guru's provide a very valuable lessons for management students but a speaker like sivanand provides invaluable lessons for everyone.

This was one talk I will remember all my life.

It's been 5 days since the result is out and I am just shocked to see that the login link is still not up on GIM's website...

Not expected from a great insti like GIM of which i dream to become a part of...sad

People who are eligible and haven't yet got the call: happened to one of my friends. Yesterday he then just sent an email to the email-id mentioned in the contact us section of GIM website. He got the call after that. Do try this. As I understand, today is holiday in GIM. Still try it out.

2. But patience is the need of the hour. I can assure you that you are def getting a call.

3. I had a chat today with Jeny mam and she told me that it will be def up on website by Monday.

Then monday it is .. Thanks for the patient updates ..

KaushalSingh01 Says

do they have case based gds for GIM.....?? how much time is given before the discussion starts..?

Going by last year trend, there should not be any case based GD. You get approximately 1 minute to think on the topic. Then everone has to give an introduction on the topic followed by open discussion and then every one has to conclude as well.

Check out 6th post on http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/other-exams-xat-iift-irma/78345-gim-gd-pi-discussions-2012-a-64.html for getting the list of all gd topics of last year.

The queries related to Admissions can be put up on : http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/other-exams-xat-iift-irma/72285-goa-institute-management-admissions-2012-a.html


It's better if things related to GD, Interview Questions, Essay, etc is only discussed in this thread. So that it is better for others also to follow.

oh god... mine is on d 1st day den

1. You have as much chance as others have.

2. GD/PI Performance is the most deciding factor now.

3. Nothing is fixed regarding CMAT.

Any sectional cut-offs????

No Sectionals..

1. Congratulations to those who have already got the mails.

2. Those who have not yet got, don't worry.

3. Mails are being sent in phases.

4. I saw one 77%ile getting a call. So all those having more than that can expect the mail very soon.

5. List will be updated on website tomorrow.

Any sectional cut-offs????

Even lack of preparation won't be a good excuse for this. They may lead to another counter question.

The best answer in my view is that you had a very bad day.

okays thank you... i did also have a bad day...got late...got delayed in id checking and all....thanks for th heads up, will prepare for the answer well..thanks a ton!!

2. I myself was asked last year.

god if they are gonna ask that question i ve a lot of explaing to do

1. They may ask you. So better be prepared for it.

2. I myself was asked last year.

If it is that low, you can tell them some medical reasons what i feel.

And then you can say : The score doesn't reflect your true potential. It was one of your bad days.

Hi avinash,

And then you can say : The score doesn't reflect your true potential. It was one of your bad days.

Dude I hope u don't mind me answering that.

We all have prepared as per what we could. it was just a bad day that you scored less in cat. so don't be embarrassed about it. Just give them the true answer and just let them know that you did your best.

Don't lie :)

Avi.. The thing is I just have my experience certificate(it specifies the time i have worked) and I can get my latest salary slip. I dont think i have my appointment letter.
Any alternatives?

Even Work Ex certificate from the company specifying the duration of your work ex would work. Get along the pay slip as well.

Seniors...thanx for being patient n answering all queries.
I still havent got d mail at 81, have been checking my mails like crazy...most probably my gdpi date wud be around 27th but not sure. As I am working, it would be difficult to manage leaves n other stuff at the last hour. Even d login link is still not available. I think just posting a simple pdf with details of selected people would have been easier, if the login link is taking time and seeing d evident uncertainties associated with mails. Anyways, hope things become clearer soon. :-|

sir as d topic given in d gd vl hv it's pros n cons..so one shld be taking jst d one side or shud be discussing both d aspects??ur view..

You should have one side and in fact you will have. But during the course of GD, you need to listen to the other side as well and then while concluding you have to cover both the aspects.

It should be a give and take process. Hope this helps.
