Hi Guys
I m Mohit Malhotra....selected for GIM.
This is my first post but have been on the thread regularly and so know a lot abt u guys.
Was really looking forward to enjoying the sun and sand of Goa with u all but got a call from NMIMS recently.A bit confused abt my choices.
I m a mech engg by profession(still in final year) and hence interested in taking up operations.Already paid up 51k.....will lose all that if I dont join.
Plus the batch in NM is 240 strong,much larger than GIM.I m in a state of chaos....advice from anyone is welcome.

Every institute is famous for one/two specializations. GIM is good from marketing/ systems. Even finance and HR are ok but ops is not good. Very few companies coming in for that spec. I dunno abt NM's speciality but if u are interested in ops then GIM isnt so good. You may however, take up marketing as a major as ops as a minor in wich case u have wider options.
Thanks a lot for all the info. yaar.....It ll come in handy when I decide to take the call.
I need more such help.....Anyone having more info. abt NM plz share it with me

Anish here.Was gointhru the website 2day ..don't u guys feel it seriously needs 2 b updated..its giving stale news like anirban sir as Placement co ordinator n No real Placement news of '05 passout
SUCH A FUNDU COLLEGE WITH GREAT STUDENTS N XCELLENT FACULTY,DECENT INFRASTRUCTURE & KOOL PLACEMENT OFFERS ,it needs just a slight push which we all can give together.
Must say we still surviving mostly on the Brand name n word of mouth n may b PG efforts/
Such a renowned faculty n still other than sum part of india ,people r ignorant abt it.We r loosing some really gud people coz of it..
Agreed abt the college faith in ethics n no marketing on its brand name howver we need 2 change wth changing time or we run the danger of been relagated as outsiders,outdated n jaded...
Agreed we all are doing great work however i thk college hve 2 b a bit a pro active ,may b a re think is required on this front..n y nt highlight good palcement scenario as the scene is actually!!! I see no great shakes there...
Just a mundane suggestion..
Lets try n revolutionise the system folks..keep ur grey cell working (fellow colleagues) so that we can go for some serious revamp.Rajiv u listening
,moneet n neha u too..plz fellow gals (05 -07) plz do smethg ;thk beyond shopping ,lifestyle n shoppers stop..lets do smethg constructive:) ...yaar mazaak kar raha hun..gaali baad me dena..aaraam se

Well Anish ur post is zthought Provoking..and we actually are doing something on updation of WEbsite
We will give you more inputs on that front after you come to GIM.
As of Now Mumbai Senior Junior meet is Happening !!!
Date : 22 MAY 2005
Venue : Hersh Bakery Bandra
its next to Holy Family Hospital..which is a landmark there
Anish, it is a very important issue that you have raised.
The website indeed looks "stale".
The more important point you've raised is about GIM's popularity.
People in the field of B schools acknowledge the fact that GIM indeed is a top quality B school and the faculty here is among the top line of India and GIM does produce high quality managers.
But GIM not doing anything to promote itself is a concern for students like me. If we have it why not flaunt it. We can attract even better students and better companies.
What's wrong in marketing ourselves. We deserve to be well known.
I had converted Amity and LIBA apart from GIM and my Dad was keen that I joined Amity and I had to really work hard to convince him that GIM was indeed the best choice that I would take.
Ditto with my friends and family. They don't know how significant an achievement it is to get into GIM and they pass it off as just another run-of-the-mill B school. Reason: GIM is not known to many because of lack of media noise.
Agreed that GIM is an ethic based B school which concentrates solely on good quality education.. but if we can be rewarded for what we are with some PR effort... why not?
srsly bhai i second u!!!!!!!!!! gim needs some pr man>>>>>>>>>>the other day i was speaking 2 a guy he said .....'y dont u join ****...aftr all brand matters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!":grab: :grab:
i started laughing like hell!!
well...had the mumbai meet today.
but was really disappointed yaar
the reason being if u look at the attendance
first half score at CCD seniors - 20 juniors - 1 (thats me )
second half score at Carter Road seniors - 20 juniors - 2 (only srinivasan came)
this was really bad guys...thoda enthu dikhao.....especially as our seniors r doin such a gr8 job in answerin jus about anythin we hav asked about college, campus, placements....u name it .
Anyway regardin the meet...it was gr8 fun.....got to know a lot bout gim an their life there an the dos an donts an bout the profs too.
Time kaise gaya pata hi nahin chala........the meet which started at 4.30 only concluded with dinner at bout 10.30.
with bout 30 seniors in mumbai for their summers they really hav a very big grp out here an seing their camaraderie only makes me wish that we hav similar enthu in our batch too.
So guys please participate in future such meets (i wont be surprised if there arnt any)
ciao

Lot of activity on this front eh. Well, i appreciate all your concerns about GIM not branding itself properly and low recognition levels among general public and the industry.If thats the case, it is upto us to do something about this, after all we are the inputs and two years later(one year in our case) we will be the outputs. The quality of an institute will depend on both its inputs and outputs. Inputs, i am sure, GIM's rigourous selection procedure has taken care of and outputs, well that depends on how all of us utilize the two years at hand.It is the quality of students that speaks volumes about an inst and that side i am sure, is taken care of. As far as the "recognition" levels are concerned, there are many ways to achive that:
1. Participating in various management fests and other competetions
2. Inviting emiment people to inst and interaction with them(already happening at GIM by an initiative of some students of my batch)
3. At an intellectual level by publishing papers / writing articles / case studies etc.
4. Word of Mouth
5. Making presentations(will start once u reach the inst.)
6. Taking up more and more projects(field projects) which are relevant and have a potential to impact the industry at large.
and many more.....
so don't worry...what we do with our lives and with the image of the inst. depends on us and on the constribution of every single student of the college in his/her own way depending on his/her core competence.It is important to share these common concerns among the entire batch and then work towards tham as a group.....you do this and you will see real miracles happenning in a very short span of time....
best of luck

Hi Guys
I totally agree with you that we need to market GIM as a brand. the best ways to do it are listed below:
1) Increase the industry interaction as that would make GIM more popular in the corporate sector.
2) Improve the website and ensure that it is updated reglarly as it is the face of the institute for students staying in other cities.
3) Participate in the rankings of various magazines.
4) Promote the institute more aggressively as a brand rather than just a B-school.
Also, can any of you guys advise whether you have received the laptop details from the institute as I am from Bombay but currently I have come to Delhi, hence do not know whether they have sent it.
wel, i agree vd all of u regardng GIM marketng...
