Hey nish .... my 2 cents on this
SIIB is decent institue ... but u must remember its not the flagship institue of symbi .... its SIBM , SCMHRD and SIIB comes in only afetr these 2 .... so whenever companies wud think of recruitin from symbi colleges they wud first approach SIBM and SCMHRD b4 SIIB . ...... Join SIIB in case u want to do something in Intl Bus. ..... else its destination Goa for u !!!!

Wow that was the exact same dialoge Wayne (Moderator) had told me ..beware of the 3 b's ..waise some person mistakenly put me in the bikers club....would love to join..but GIM wont allow me to do a double MBA
Hi voodoochile,

Is there anyway i could corespond(email) with these people listed above. I wanted to get an idea regarding what their functional roles would be. I know it is a little premature as i am just joining, but it would interesting to know what specializations one needs to get a specific job, since i am interested in consultancy.

Will be getting my bike to Goa, so guys include me in the midnight drives too. Just wish there was away you could attach speakers on a bike for the music aspect.

later

P.S. - anybody interested in going for a trek to Leh/ladakh before term starts?

Dont think that is possible brother. Sorry to dissappoint. But these men are in extremely high ranking positions, so dont think they will have time to entertain your queries. You may ask us seniors anything you want instead.

Hey congrats dude. Really glad u got thru. Abt ragging you, i dont think i will be able to do it even if i want to. I will be joining atleast 10 days late as my summer job is upto june end. BTW am in Mumbai and my summers is startin only on 1st may. We can meet if u want, Vinay (MICA) is also here. My number is still the same.

Take care....

I agree with Srini. You can ask the PGP2s, but we won't encourage you to disturb the alumni. They are holding high positions and busy ppl.

Refer to Friday's Newspapers--> IndiaBulls deal--> Gagan Banga, Director, Indiabulls Sec.

In case of any queries or questions, you can put the same on the Yahoo group or pm. We would be more than eager to answer.

:oha: ! great minds think alike ......May we call it the 3B theory .... talk abt dual specialization ..... on a more serious note m srry 4 getting a bit carried away there ..... cudnt hold back my excitement and plus its been a very tough past week on job so whenever i think of goa i do tend to get a bit carried away aur plus i have already beeen warned by some of the guys that term1 wud be one of the more tougher terms.... so advice taken spidey ... ur signature says it all .....

...... did i hear a treak to ladakh b4 the first term ..... wat an excellent ice breaker !!!! ..... count me in buddy
Nanaji ,

Engineers ke alawa all other guys are busy ppl
and hence dont post that often , the only non engg grad i know is khushboo , who wont be sharing ur hostel room for obvious reasons
All this room and room mate thingie we will figure out there itself ...
regards
and take care

Mr Aspire.. I never realized this that only the engg are a part of this group.. and by the way my friends call me nanak

I AM UNABLE TO JUDGE. KINDLY HELP:huh: :tellme: :huh: :tellme: :huh: :tellme:


Knowledge - u need to introspect y u r so desperate to get into gim only ..... cuz u have not nentioned the colleges that u currently hold offer letters of and plus have no idea of ur profile cannot really and whther ur really despearte to do ur mba this yr i cannot really comment on wat u shud do ..... but best bet wud be to take up the best bschool from among the ones in ur kitty rite now and the keep ur fingers crossed as regards the gim waitlist
Remember a college or an mba prograame is only as gud as u want it to be . u and only u can make or break ur own future and a college only acts as a catalyst

We got the config for arnd 44K including preloaded Win XP on the IBM machines & MS Office 2003(including MS One Note).

Not sure if ppl still remember me. In any case, My heartiest Congs to all those who made it. Am reaching Mumbai today evening for my summers at VSNL and am put up in Andheri there. My number is the same and as srini has mentioned before, we can have a meet. hey srini call me after 6 30 pm today.

I guess have missed a whole lot of action on PG during the last 8 days. Neways, good days are back and me online again.

Cheers !!!

Hey Guys,

Has anyone bought a laptop yet???????
I got mine yesterday an HP 5118 TX ............its a fundoo machine

HP Pavilion Microsoft Windows XP Home;
Intel Core Duo Processor T2300 (#) with Intel Centrino Mobile Technology (1.66 GHz, 2MB L2 cache, 667MHz FSB);
15.4" colour WXGA (1280 x 768 resolution) with BrightView;
1GB (1 x 1GB) DDR2 RAM (667 MHz);
100GB Serial ATA(5400 rpm);
Dual Layer DVDRW/R;

all this for 65k !!!!!

Hi,

Exactly the same feelings as sourav....Was missing in action too. I have got my summers in VSNL mumbai and have finally reached mumbai. Hope to meet atleast a few of you here.

First of all let me congratulate each and every one of you who have got through to GIM.

Hope to see you all in goa

Meanwhile, if you have any more querries shoot....

Cheers
Sushanth

P.s: Missing goa already, not as much for the place but for the lack of connectivity.:(

anyone from Delhi????????

No phone numbers here dude.....rules of the forum prohibit sharing phone numbers...so edit ur msg...you can send personal messages but no direct posting on the forum.....:neutral:


And about the lappie, guys its up to you to buy one on you own with a config of your choice or anyways as the college gets you lappies, you can always collectively decide upon the configuration you want. We have got IBMs but you can collectively ask for any make. I would suggest wait and watch, dont hurry n buy a lappie.


Cheers
Sushanth

Everyone,

I think all are aware that a group has been created in yahoo for the new incoming batch of 2006-2008, so i request all further discussions to be taken to the group.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gim2k8/

It is a lot easier there as you can exchange phone numbers set up meetings etc. There would also be a more formal interaction and we can discuss more of what happens inside and outside of GIM.

Please move to the yahoo group.
