i mean i become 3 year experienced in June 07. Will it be valid?

well friend ...with kind of exp u have xlri gmp is one of the best option u can have apart from iima, iimc or isb...but if u see the ROI..xlgmp score tons....we have many candidates from IT with exp ranging from 4 to 7 yrs...and probably from next term exp limit is being hiked to 5 yrs...plus some increaments in fees....

first term we have learnt..accouts,economics,operation,communication,organisation behaviour...marketing...all u can relate to your experience..and u will enjoy seeing different facet of organisation....ur breadth will multiply ...ur horizon will expand....

well to say..its quite a good crash course...and being name of xl...it will sell....look for the placement stats this time if u have doubt...otherwise if u believe in ur capability and xl name..u should start preparing for xat....

feel free to ask ....


i am instrumentation engineer...5 yrs exp..nuclear power corp..and honeywell automation ...operation and strategy/finance would be my electives...


:grab:

friends

1)
as far as shifting from mkting to finance is concerend..bit tought call ....even 2 yr programm if u r doing u will have to start as fresher...and make sure that GMP IS FOR IF U R LOOKING FOR MIDDLE MANAGEMENT LEVEL


2)for the person from oil and gas: well i am from commissioning and maintenance exp...5 yrs to be precise...nuclear power and then with honeywell..atutomation

i will be opting for operation and strategy/finance...area of cocentration is something one should be very clear....


ideally i would suggest that gmp is most suitable for those who have given good thought what they want to get into....have a clear understanding...this doesnt mean that u should be 100 clear...always u can come to xlri and then think about it....but a clarity always help..

for those who already have exp of 4 yrs plus..i think studying for 2 yrs...tough choice...ur getting as good as 32 subjects in GMP as compared to some 42 subjects in 2yr prog....

one year programm are future ...atleast for those with exp....

all institutes are designing their program is this direction..more or less..be it spjain, mdi, imt...


xlri brand perse ....no doubts....values and discipline grt..something what i have observed here at xlri.....in last 45 days....

I am sure this thread would help a lot of people.
I hope all the MBA passouts would help other aspiring students by throwing some light on specializations

not very sure of people..i tried 3 times..but nobody is replying in this thread..

looking for detailed reply.......................

for xlri--gmp..



u have to clear xat...percentile not specified..in this batch we have people with percentile of 70 to 99......

there r peole like me with 80 percentile..who have cleared it and...there were few people with 95+ percentile but were in waiting list.......

u should have atleast 3 yrs exp...u can check out my previous mails for the brief of profile...

there will be an interview basedon ur xat score....they will ask u about economy...why u want to do mba..why one year..what ur epectation....etc...

so let me know if u want more info....

as per article in ET....for congress it was not mandatory to go for 27 %...as draft bill says only means and way...etc...some technical language...and limits reservation max upto 50 %......there was no dead line mentioned...in it...

if arjun sigh would not have came out with idea and if there would have been some discussion or consultaion on this issue..then they(and ofcourse we all now) would not have been in dire situation...


actually congress alies got chance and they were powerful ..to fork out the deal abruptly....

so onus lies with PM for not able to control alies and arjun singh for using this to get some political windfall....

friends....

rmbt Says

Pal, it ultimately boils down to u,how can u perform there.How much have u learnt from ur job.If u can convience the interviewer than whether its 2,3... it doesnt matter.

rmbt u r correct...u have to prove ur self..but then if brochure says 3 yrs...then it can not go below 3 yrs..
