Hi Prof,
A query..
SIBM has given a preference sheet with the form asking for choosing among Pune / Bangalore.. Is it that if i tick BOTH, the preference will be decided by SIBM admin or is it that i may be asked if i stand a chance for admissions to SIBM..
Also, will SIBM have common summer & campus placements for the '08 batch or they will be separate?
Hi Pranab,
I have one query regarding the application form.
At one place, we need to get the signatures of our parents. For people like me, working away from the home town, its an uneccesary overhead of sending the form back home, getting it signed, receiving it, and then submiting it to SIBM, leading to wastage of both time and money.
Don't you think as MBA aspirants and working professionals, we are adults and mature enough to take our own responsibility, and hence parents signature not required?

Hi Sir,
In the admission brochure there is a note in the CRP placement that only those candidates are applicable for placement who qualify some eligiblity criteria.
Can you plz throw some light here. Arent all the students eligible for placement except the Entreaprenuership guyz????????
Hi,
The criteria mentioned for Placement Support is for students to take their academics and discipline seriously, it is not meant as a punishment. Don't worry on this front.

Dear Mayank,
I am sorry for this delay as I was out of station for the CWS program. As far as you are concerned the 3 years you have spent in Railways will be considered. You will have to clear SNAP first. It will not be possible to give you last year's papers as per our policy. As far as cutoffs go, there is no fixed number as it will vary from year-to-year depending on student's performance. I wish you the best of luck.
Regards,
Pranab.

Hi,
We have this criteria of parent's signature as in most cases it is the parents of students who actually invests in an MBA education. Hence it is imperative that they are convinced of the benefit their wards get when studying in SIBM. Hope this sets your mind at rest. Best of luck.

Hi,
Don't worry about the SIBM campus as both the campuses have excellent facilities, infact SIBM, Bangalore has a much better campus than Pune has now :). All the facilities which the student community has come to expect at Pune will be available at Bangalore too.

Pranab.

Hi,
Yup you are absolutely right in your analysis. Wish you luck and come over to SIBM.
Regards,
Pranab.
i think they will have a minimum marks for each section just like they have it in jmet
essentially u have to clear all these min marks criterion then they ll go for totl
they r nt expctd to be harsh regarding ind cut off
this is wat i think ...... correct me someone if i m wrong,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
:grab: SIBM i m cmng.............
Hi Mayuresh,
This year SIBM will have sectional cutoffs and as far as GK goes if you had been keeping tabs on business and general news for the past year and reading books and magazines, it will be a cinch. Best of luck.

Hello sir,
Sorry for not coming to chennai to attend CWS it was impossible for me to attend due to some personal probs. I wanted to ask you is there any source through which we can have a look at Bangalore campus? I heard that government has intervened and caused some problem in new Pune campus .So when is that expected to open?
