Dear Arun/Kishor,

I sent dd through my friend. He submitted it on 27th Feb. He was given back the endorsed copy of it writing "paid". He was told to get documents verified in person on June 7th.

But till now I didn't get any email confirmation about the payment or admission.

Is that dd copy sufficient for confirmation of payment and admission?

There must be some email confirmation right??

Thanks and Regards,

I am facing the biggest dilemma of my life, and I request you all especially seniors to please give some advice and I will be very very grateful.Doing MBA from a reputed college has always been a dream and I have been selected in SITM (M&F;) but I am now scared to join because my profile sucks which is as follows.

10th-64%
12th-69%
B.E. Production Engg. 58% (with backlogs)
W.E -7 yrs for a BPO of a major UK based mobile network company at a junior level.

By the time I finish MBA I will be 33 yrs old and I am NOT fancying a big package,but I am worried that I should not be in a position where no company is willing to hire me at all because of my profile.I mean I am sure now I can work very hard to do well during the 2 years of MBA, but I dont want to see a future where after investing so much money and time no company is willing to hire me because of my past.(SITM is the only good college that I have converted till now).So guys if you can suggest whether I should join or not that will help me in taking this MOST important step of life.
TIA

Hi seniors,

Please throw some light on summer placement thingy. When will it start, for how many weeks or months ? , does college provide this ? , practically everything related to it would be appreciated. Never done any internships so have no real idea about it as such.

Thanks & Regards.

Hi,

Your 1st sem will end most probably during 3rd or last week of october. After 2 weeks of exam, summer placements will begin, it will continue till march till entire batch is placed. April & May these two months you will be working with a company. Summer Placements is a total Placement committee responsibility. So yes it is provided by college. Stipends offered are 0k to 25k depending upon company and location they offer. PPO's are offered by some companies provided u perform well.

Hey it may sound silly but jst wanted to knw what r the class timings...n weekend (sunday) is a holiday right?? Are ull allowed to go out of the campus(probably on weekends)?
Thanx in advance!!

it is generally 24 *7....no holidays...however thursday is a non instructional holiday...in first sem u might get few thursdays as holidays, after that that day will also be used for any guest lectures and finally it would be converted to working day only...sundays u have classes atleast till after noon...coz it is reserved for visiting faculties....

Hence i told u guys to enjoy ur last holidays !! it is 24 *7 here...but u will get time to go to city...dnt worry abt that....

class timings will be initially 8am to 8.30( 4times in a week) for u guys ( 2months) to make u acquainted with the system, after that it will be 9.30 to 5 pm generally...sometimes it might extended to 6.30 depending on the faculty...but generally most of the classes would be from 9.30 to 5 pm only...

dnt get panic by reading this....MBA is a tight schedule pgm....


a holiday here is a lottery...!!

Hi,

Guys if anyone can provide me any info in this regard plz spare some time & rply.


Thanks

Hi,

Anything above 7.5 would require a collateral in almost all banks. SBI is the most trusted one and requires the same. Even i wanted to take loan of complete 9 lacs, but we did not wanted to do the collateral also. So have not taken loan of such amount that requires collateral.

Now, 'Credila' a private company(constituent of HDFC limited) gives loan and i think one can avail loan without a collateral, i may not be sure of that. When i spoke to them , they were ready to give loan without a collateral.

But at the same time rate of interest also matters the most. SBI rate of interest on loan is nominal and i think the least, and other govt banks also have the same or almost the same rate of interest. Whereas in case of Credila, rate of interest differs by 1 to 2 % on the higher side, if my memory serves me well.

Higher rate of interest means higher expenditure on MBA in long run, plus higher EMI's . Taking loan is alright, most of us do that, but at the same time you should consider the other aspects of taking loan, like the long term payment compatibility, total final expenditure, emi's u will have to pay once u are employed etc etc. One request just do not blindly take a loan without prior deep investigation from your side about the in's and out's .

Be clear with the bank representative about the hidden interests rates. Some banks may boast that they have the least rate of interest , but later might take out some hidden roi's . Please do not fall in any trap.

You have to be clear about how much money you can drain out of your pocket at max each month in EMI's once you get employed after MBA. And this would continue for the number of years you think will take to payback the loan. Just a rough example , when i went for the loan of 7.5 lacs @ SBI, the EMI's were coming out to be 20k + per month for 5 to 7 years. This is just an example. i may be wrong. This is through my interaction @ sbi bank.

But at times if luck favours, you may be able to payback loan through other measures.

But if your pocket is tight, you may have to check all sectors of loan taking.

These are my personal thoughts. Personally i would suggest you to go for Govt banks. Loan is very important for most of us. Glad that such system exists to help the needy.

Thanks.

Hi,

If anyone here has applied for education loan & has got it approved without any collateral,could you please tell me the name of the bank or from where ever you got it.
I am having some difficulty in getting the loan.
Any info would be very helpful

Thanx

And, it's not like i only want the biggies. I would be more than happy to just get placed. One may say that 'dude if you dream so high , you should have worked harder and not let this happen to you at 1st place' . I agree, i should have been more serious. But the amount of seriousness one has in a particular university can fetch 55% marks and the same amount of seriousness in any other university may fetch him 65% marks. This is the truth, u can't disagree. But thats not the case when it comes to 10th and 12th, CBSE , ICSE exams are an all india level and the questions are the same. Equal for all !!
Anyways, even today i feel that grads should not be considered the method of filtering becus every university is different. It should rather be 10th or 12th national level boards like CBSE or ICSE , followed by some normalization for state level boards(considering most are from CBSE or ICSE).
This one question will always remain unanswered till i die and i.e.

""How can one say that a 75% grad student from Guru Jambheshwar University or Makhanlal Chaturvedi university is better than a 58% grad student from University of Pune ? ""

If companies look for grads, they should also see the universities and cite the percentage barrier accordingly.
But again, this is how the system works and we have to digest it !!

PS : Not defaming any institute or any university .

just a placement shud not be ur target... that u can easily achieve if u hv moderate skills .... Aim for the stars , then u can landup in moon...

the employers know abt pune university ...very popular...what abt the other one...?

a guy getting 70-80 % in a deemed university or 60 % in NIT...who will be given weightage...? u tell me...

it is high time that u hv to keep these issues aside...else u will keep on regretting the same in the future...

MiNdFrEaKz Says

on that pt...most companies coming for recruitment insist on only 60% throughout?..or do some of them set a higher eligibility criteria?

no higher eligibilty criteria..? mba percentage will be the sole factor....


dude cutoff / filtering will come in not engg.....but on MBA performance...say...70%/65 % etc in mBA....

Arun...

The only thing that is worrying me from many days is the grad marks filtering. I understand all the companies do not impose that criteria, but still , somewhere down the line the feeling of "left out" comes within and stresses self. I also know that we cannot change the past and only work upon the future, but then the joy and zeal of working hard is lost the moment the thought of loosing the race comes.

All those who are having the < 60% obstacle would agree that they do want to work hard , real hard to remove that dent in their profile , but then somewhere down the line the confidence gets lost knowing that " boy! you won't make it anyway in the biggies ".


Personally, cannot express you how much eager i am to join this institute. For the next 2 years every single day this thought would creep into my mind that "i won't be eligible in top IT companies". How to remove that thought ? i think i need a rehab .

no not at all..

exactly if there is a weakness in ur profle , u hv to mask it something else...for that u r here for 2 yrs....

never the doors are closed for the biggies...there are ways to make it to the biggies....

always remember that any company wants talented and knowledgeable people...ie the loophole..

work on that....
