baki for everybody else...........go back n recall what were your issues for going for MBA n u'll c that the same will help u solving every doubt in chosing/leaving an institute
so a general points of introspection shud b like................. faculty,infrastructure,network of the institute,reputation(brand value),transperancy( ),ur seniors ,Placments (but in terms of organisation and job profile not merely MANIPULATED avg. salaries) ,cost of program,location(only if ths GOAAAAAAA )...................baki raat ko :drinking: :drinking:

BOTTOMLINE ABT GIM................GIM does have or do a lot many activities without much hype which others create a lot hela vu abt ............for instance one institute was telling tht they have the best holi program allover INDIA ..............isliye DHIKHAVE PE MAT JAO>>>>>>>>APNI AKAL LAGAO.

P.S. Just as refrence posting my one of the replies in next post.


Yehu hui na baat andy .... see my decision to direct ppl to u worked ;)

and take care

Following is a edited copy of one of my pm this morning...........(few names has been changed or removed including mine )

hey! will u be taking gim? wat other calls do u have?
i hv already paid up at ***... is it worth giving up all the cash for gim?


hi ******* even i wanted to talk you on this,well m lucky to take a decision in the begning itself n saved my money(fees) at ***** but in ur case i'll just like to add that overall i don't believe in rankings of institutes as such but only in some meticuluos classification...........so that way GIM can be putten up in the category three institutes i.e. non iim institutes but than too not like of MDI,XIMB.......etc.
secondaly its among the few institute offering you a compulsary residential program........so has an edge.
Finally faculty of GIM is superv..........actually can give a run to all the institutes of its category.
.................and bla bla bla.............in fav. of ****** is only its placements.......good but still not specific like of GIM:) .................

hence.go ahead n take a call.........by the way a hint from my side...in terms of net expenses for the coming 2 years u still wud be saving a lot in GIM as everything here is intregal n that too subsidised......(whereas others usally have those camouflaged hidden costs ).
And last but not least...............yaar GOA!!......DIL CHAHTA HAI NA? .............phir main bhi shayad yahin kahin mil jaoon ...............take care

P.S. posted just for refrence of fellow aspirants and not for any post mortem by self potraying X-PERTS ............*standard disclaimer applies.

Ok some info

One of our gim batch mates has recd the call letter , dont have all the details abt it ,as to whether it has a loan proposal or details abt expenses or minimum specs of laptop in that.

Seniors would like to know the review of the IBM'S that u have , did the whole group go for the same model ... and also which model is it ...

regards
and take care

p.s andy orkut pe gaya ki nahin

hey guys...need some help. converted both gim n imi...cant decide which one 2 take...the only hitch is that i'm based in delhi n am lil wary abt goa's regional placements...but i want some opinions on this choice...pls do reply...brw anyone else in a similar dilemma?



hi

i think euphoria is one person (he was pretty regular on this thread but not anymore) who cud give u some insights because he is in same situation. but he's joining imi so expect his comments to be pro - imi . btw i too am of the same opinion as everyone else, there's no such thing as "regional placements" at gim and i know this because i met 4 ppl from the senior batch who are about to pass out and they were placed at places like delhi, mumbai,etc

cheers

We had got IBM R52 fro 45K. The market price was somewhere arnd 65K. It has turned out to be an excellent machine. The config is just perfect for our LAN infra. The performance has been superior, beyond expectations.

Yes, all the students who had bought the machine through the insti got the same model, same config.

I can personally say that the machine is worth every penny spent since I have used(Manhandled) it quite extensively. Personally, I would suggest you to take a lappie through the insti, unless u want to make changes in the config negotiated by the insti, which would entail you to buy your own machine. Refer to the post on buying a laptop on pg. It is quite good.

This year, the config is again expected to be quite good.

Cheers

Hi Seniors, i just had a few questions:

1. Regarding the net- is it wirless or are there ethernet jacks in each room and in the library/classrooms?
2. When do you make a request for a single room or a double room?
3. What is the semester schedule like(month wise vacations etc)
4. I currently have an IBM R51 so was wondering if that would be okay?
5. Any of the current batch mates get any time to play football for any local team in Goa?
6. What is the general breakup of students for the new batch regarding their location.

Thanks
-adit

P.S. - Its really nice to see the seniors takign such a proactive role in answering our questions. Thanks alot and looking forward to seeing you people.
