Congratulations applicant_2010.. :)
If getting a good job immediately is your only criteria, then here is my take on it:
Right now the job situation grim for all colleges (including CEIBS)......but except for CEIBS, elsewhere the problem is because of recession and hence is temporary. It will get solved.
However at CEIBS, employment prospects for person who is not good at mandarin (read:international students) are not very bright. So here is a problem which is going to stay.
I hope this helps you in making a choice.
Cheers!!

I am also in the process of finalizing this. Have a few doubts which I want to be clear about before I make my matriculation decision.

I am originally from Mumbai but I am currently working in Dubai since the past 16 months

Hey Abbas,

By any chance have you been offered any scholarship by CEIBS. Financing is going to be tough.

Not so cheerful....anshul

Hey Anshul,

I agree but it will be better than any other western B school in terms of financing. On the admissions status link of my CEIBS online app account it says " Scholarship Decision : Pending "

So keeping my fingers crossed :-)

Hi All,

Even I have an admit from CEIBS and intend to take up the offer . Starting the mandarin classes from Jan. Will be great if we can discuss all the formalities here too as I didn't find many people who applied in the first round.

@anshul_sachdev : I heard that if we know mandarin the job offers in China are great and all biggies come to CEIBS. I guess the same is the case with Europe schools too ( except INsead, LBS, Oxford and Cambridge) ....we need to know the local language...Wat is the last date for you to pay the acceptance fee ?I guess should be the same for everyone .I have to pay it by 15th Jan .

@Abbas247 : We have already had a discussion on facebook 😃 .Good to see you here .

Gr8 to see the thread here at Pagalguy. Regarding scholarships , apart from the ceibs scholarship and municipal government scholarship , I can only see two more scholarships for international students :-Bosch and the the CHIC one . Don't understand whether I am eligible for the same as CHIC one talks about people who want to take up SCM. Chances for scholarships are not that bright for international students.

Hi Exuberance 21/Anshul ,

Yeah it would be nice to discuss the formalities. I am signing up for a tutor who teaches on Skype and it very cheap. I know another friend who visits China often and he is learning from him. Let me know if anyone is interested.

I guess everyone has to submit the deposit by 15th Jan, however the optimist in me wants to see the scholarship decision before that. I have mailed the school about it, but I havent heard back. Let me know if anyone else does.

Hi Abbas ,

Thanks for the info ...I have already enrolled for classes here at IIFL in Bangalore. Looks like the scholarship decision won't come before feb 1st as they will give time to everyone.

Are you guys applying for the Bosch and the CHIC scholarship? You guys joining the precourse in July or will directly join classes in August? We have to give a basic test :(. I heard the accomodation is expensive in the campus and better to take it somewhere near the campus. What do u guys suggest ?

Hi Guys,

I just had a chat with a current student and he told me that the placement scenario for international students is very bad post MBA and that is the case even if you know mandarin . ...really worried. Do u guys know anyone studying there ? Would be really great to know from smeone studying there

We need to speak to someone about off campus accommodation coz I dont want to be living further than walking distance from Campus. Its advised not to stay too far. If not I will opt to stay in the dorms

As far as the placement scenario is concerned does not look too bad in the career report 2009.

Hi Exuberance..thnx for adding some more color to the discussions.. :)

Chinese language: I contact this lady called Poornima garg whose classes were recommeded on the site of Chinese Embassy...and found the classes to be decent...I intend to contact her again...i find the skupe wala fund [email protected] u started it already and how are u finding it?

Scholarship: My essay plank won't allow me to apply for CHIC or Bosch.. 😞 ...all the best to you guys.... :)..i really hope you do get a schol...

Accomodation: I don't know the ground situation in CEIBS but the camardarie of a dorm/ on campus hostel cannot be replicated in an off-campus place in general...so i am likely to go for an on-campus life.. 😃

Hey Anshul,

I havent started the classes yet but I know a very close friend who is doing them. I have added the tutor on skype but havent found her online in 2 days now. Apparently she does give u a free trial and then i sign up for more if u wish.

Yeah I think even I will opt for on campus dorms. Which option are u planning to go with?

Hey ...definitely if we stay on campus we have better chances to build our networks .....I am also planning to stay on campus

Hi guys,

I would like to update everyone regarding the few mails I have received. As far as the scholarship decision is concerned I got an email saying that I havent got one for round 1 as it was very competitive. However I would be considered for round2. I have to be to optimistic to hope for one then either I guess

As far as mandarin classes are concerned I had my first class today and I think it was very nice coz the tutor teaches one on one and so she can help you get the pronunciations correct which will be really important while speaking as Mandarin is a tonal language.
