Any hyd(mum) people waiting for a call??

I am a hyd(mum) candidate and I have not got a call as yet. I see the calls that people are now getting are mumbai calls. What does this mean..if i do not get a call now chances are over for me?

Have people who have filled hyd(mum) started getting calls yet? Please let me know.

By 95% I meant, 95% of the front desk roles are offered in ABC ( go through there placement reports) and the rest 5% in other top 10 colleges. People were offered associate profiles too.

We are not even talking about IT so that can be kept out of discussion.

From what I have seen, most of the front desk roles are offered in ABC ( and few in other top 10 colleges) while Indian I banks offer front desk roles in top 10 b-schools(JM Finance, SBI caps).

i banks coming to ISB would only prefer candidates with prior finance background because it is a 1 year program( somwhere in between regular mba and executive mba).

I doubt if the fact( 95%) is correct! When you say back office, you included IT in that, didn't u? I can say with some certainty that Business Analyst/Analyst(IT,Back Office) roles are the most common profile offered to the students of top 2 year MBA programs in India. My facts are based on the sample space of my friends. Only one got an intern as a trader. And guess what, he was already a CFA before he got into IIM A.

Talking about getting into an i-bank- I don't think it will be difficult getting a back office(BA role) job. I work for an i-bank so I can tell from experience!

what about hyd(mum) people. what are the tentative date of interview for us? where can one find them?

I did write to ISB. Let's see what becomes of it.

From what I gather, a PGP won't get me to the trading desk/front office. Middle office is likely. In India, most i-banks tend to recruit people in a business analyst(IT) role, which happens to be back office

IIM A is an exception.

You are completely wrong, all i-banks offer front desk roles in Indian management institutes ( 95% from IIM A, B, C). But all international banks do offer ! that too for offices in London, HongKong and NYU.

But at your profile (5.5 years of IT exp ) I doubt if any college in the world would allow you to get an I Banking job ( be it back or front end ) since most of these i banks have a preference for freshers or relevant work exp. or at least bachelors degree from IIT (atleast in India ! )
