Hi Guys.Β 

I would really appreciate if you could give your 2 cents on NMIMS Mumbai vs SCMHRD ( Inclined towards Marketing) .Β 


While NMIMS is a bigger brand with slightly better placements (as per the report), it has a much larger batch size and no campus life when compared to SCMHRD. The total cost for NMIMS would also be 3-4L greater than what I would have to spend in SCMHRD.Β 


Which one should I go for?

Can anyone provide a stat for increase in seats for all the IIMs for the session of '21-'23 compared to '20-'22?Β 

It's time IIM-R launched PG Diploma in PGDCM (COVID-19 Management).Β

MARSHMALLOW EXERCISE FOR DESIGN THINKING

Design Thinking is the essential ability to combine empathy, creativity, and rationality to meet user needs and drive business success. With an aim to encourage students to practice design thinking mindsets, the School of Management conducted the Marshmallow Exercise for students from various disciplines. This exercise helped them learn crucial aspects of collaboration, innovation, hidden assumptions and team spirit.

The activity took 45 minutes in total, wherein the participants were divided into groups of 6. Each team was given a certain amount of spaghetti, a marshmallow and paper tapes. The teams were given a limited time of 18 minutes to build a free-standing spaghetti structure with the marshmallow placed on top. The team with the tallest structure won the challenge.

This activity had a huge impact on students when they failed to build something deceptively simple. As the teams rushed to build up their towers taller than their competitors, they ignored the most important aspect i.e. stability, and saw their structures collapsing towards the end. Surprisingly, the winning team had built the shortest structure but it could stand the test of stability. The realization that planning is as important as building was the key take away. The fun design and build activity taught some simple but profound lessons in testing, iteration, critical thinking and resilience.

Β IIT Bombay will NOT provide any hostel accommodation due to paucity of available rooms and restrictions as a result of covid-19 outbreak. Attempts will be made to accommodate them in hostels during the academic year 2021-22, subject to availability and prevailing covid-19 related restrictions. Furthermore, the instructions and evaluations of courses in autumn and spring semesters 2020-21 are likely to be in online mode and the selected candidates would require to be fully equipped with the basic facilities to attend to the same.Β

Hi everyone. Is it alright to settle for XIMB or IIT Madras at 99%ile? (Second attempt) Profile: GEM 9/8/8 Acads. Work ex<1 year. Calls this year: MDI, IIM S (Less chances of conversion) NITIE, SJMSOM (Couldn't convert) I am not sure whether I'll be able to score this much again this year. Also, my current job is taxing me mentally. Suggestions?

Need suggestions for new functions of the website: mockpredictor.xyz Some people rightly pointed out that a mock predictor would do more harm than good. So, instead of that, I want to put up some software that will actually help future aspirants. Since, hosting ka paisa de hi chuka hun toh kuch kaam bhi aa jaaye. One idea I have is to make a loan calculator for students who are waiting to get their converts, ki kitna saal lagega repay krne mai wgera wgera. Suggestions are welcome..

Anyone here has previous year's minimum final CS for new iim's ?

Is it necessary to provide work ex certificate during accepting offer or it can be provided before session begins? As my notice period will get over on July 20th

Has anyone ripped the mocks of 2020 season yet? While the older mocks are readily available, there seems to be no links to the 2020 mocks, anywhere, across any forum. Please help if you have them.

Planing to do CFA L1. Engineer with no finance background. Which online coaching would you recommened? I am not a very good self study person. If you have any other better options do let me know.
