Hi,
I am going to join Infosys at Mysore DC. Since I 'll be traveling all the way from Delhi , I would like to take my laptop along. However personal laptops are not allowed inside the campus (where I would be staying for a week ) . Question is - Can I deposit my laptop with security for 5-6 days till I get my own accommodation?

All PGDM programs of IFMR are AICTE approved.

can anyone throw some light on PSU visiting campus for recruitment....

A major chunk of PSUs are banks. SBI, SBI Life ,SBI Capital, Bank Of India , Allahabad Bank etc are some of the recruiters of the recent past.

Hi Everyone
I have been selected for PGDM regular. I am a little confused as to the reason why I was given Regular though I had specified DSf ad FE as the options. Anyone who could through light on this? Is there any chance of a change at all?
Thanks in advance.

Though its very difficult / not possible to change programs once list is out , you may still try your luck by writing pgdm@ifmr.ac.in/ravisha@ifmr.ac.in regarding your preference for dsf/FE over regular. If not considered , my advise is to opt for regular as you 'll have the choice to select your specialization after first year.

1.What companies visiting IFMR recruit candidates in marketing and HR sector..??
2.What is the package offered for candidates in marketing and HR sector..??
3.Is it advisable to take up electives other than finance in IFMR..??
Seniors pls advice..:banghead::banghead:

Kindly scroll back some pages before posting a query. Answering again..
1. IT companies offer profile of product management , Brand Management , Pre-sales etc to marketing guys. FMCG companies like Berger Paints , Asian Paints have also visited campus for recruitment in the recent past. HR profiles were offered by companies like UCAL Fuels .
2. Average package stands at 7 Lakh for Marketing & HR
3. Yes . People specialize in all the specialization available at IFMR. Some follow mix approach of dual specialization say HR & Marketing , Finance & IT and other combinations

Yes. The person attending the calls for admission cell is indeed very rude. He didn't answer my query...Seniors please confirm how much amount will be refunded out of 4 lakhs if i ask for refund two weeks after course starts? Please understand its important for me to know this. Only after this query is solved I can send the 75k dd..Please respond asap.

Dude ,

Rule says that one need to cancel his admission prior to commencement of course. If it is done one a notional amount is deducted and rest is refunded. I fear deduction 'll be hefty ( if any ) , if you make your decision that late. Institute has every right to recover whatever possible for a seat wasted due to a late decision of an applicant about cancellation

Hello seniors,

I have been selected for the DSF program,but want to join the regular PGDM .I did put a mail to the office.Is there any possibility of such conversion.TIA.

gauravksingh Says

hi.... i have been selected for PGDM-DSF .... where as in gd/pi i made it very clear that i m not interested in this program .. is there any possibility that i ll b considered for pgdm finance or in waiting list.... :sneaky:

Guys,
Its very difficult to switch programs once list is out. Management must have felt that you are apt for dsf. You 'll be loosing out IFMR if you dont accept the offer as too many are in queue for the same. Having said so I would like to add DSF is at par with regular. You can sit in recruitment process not only for dsf oriented companies but also regular companies. Just for example DSF guys get placed in HCL , Infosys, ICICI bank etc apart from dsf specialised companies like FINO . Students sit in the companies as per their choice. There is no compulsion.IT companies offered profiles of consultant / business analyst . Banks offered profiles of wealth management , commercial/corporate banking .

Is IFMR still an AICTE approved college?
The approval was extended for 2011-12 and is that gonna be continued further oe not ?
little confusion.
plz help.

Every college gets AICTE approval renewed every year. This year's letter will be given soon. Dnt worry regarding it. Its NEVER been an issue for IFMR which is of high stature

Hi Seniors, i have 2 questions regarding the Hostels at IFMR

1. Are the hostels large enough to accommodate all the students ?
2. How is the food quality ?

Since IFMR is not fully residential B school , local students can go home after the classes. There are 4 floors in the in house hostel. ( 2 floors for girls n 2 for boys ) . Incase outstation student population increases in some batches , institute arrange hostel facility outside the campus which is at a walkable distance. IFMR hostel is equipped with 24 HR wifi , water and power backup . Almost all rooms have got a balcony wherein students can dry their washed clothes.

Mess food is good. Mess Menu is prepared by Student welfare Commitee, which is elected student body. Food comprises of both North & South Indian cuisine
