GIM GD/PI Discussions 2012-2014

Hi,
When do we chose the area of specialization - during the admission process (PI) or after first year?

ansgupta Says
thanks...what is CSR,am not able to find on GIM website



CSR as avinash mentioned is a Corporate Social Responsibility Program that we as students need to undertake every thu.
A group of 5 to 6 students is associated with a NGO or a self help group or an organization working for the welfare of the society.
This group of students helps the NGO in its work.
GIM is pretty strict about this and makes sure that the students are actually working for the organization
Like for example my group is associated with an NGO that aims to reduce the dropout rates in the rural schools.
There are other groups which are associated with self help women groups, with NGO's working for slum children etc
Apart from that it is a very fruitful exercise which allows us to experience the society at the grass root level. And more over trust me it is awesome fun and a unique experience !!!

The area of specialization is chosen at the end of the first year.

NO.

You can't change it to Hyderabad.

For more details, read my 9th post on Page no 63.

Adding few more points to the answer WHY GIM

We have subjects like Markstrat, brandmaps and Capstone where we get the opportunity to learn through simulation games. Similar subjects might be available in other colleges also but mentioning this would show that you have actually gone through the curriculum.

We also have some interesting electives in the 2nd year like Lyrics Management.

Can we/ Should we carry our cvs?

1. It is not compulsory.

2. But it is good if you carry one.

No. If you take it, it is not neccessary that they will have a look at it. But yes, may be they ask you if you have a CV or not. Then you can show them.

Repeating what Prithvi said,

1. Outstation candidates who are coming a day in advance can put up either in Bicholim or Mayem Lake or Old Goa or any other place they wish to.

2. The college will not provide any accommodation.

3. However in case you decide to stay in Old Goa, the college is willing to provide bus services to come to Sanquelim, provided a proper co-ordination takes place.

4. The few hotels in Sanquelim are not really upto the mark and I guess you wont mind spending a few bucks more to have a fresh mind before the D-Day. I would personally suggest you people to stay in Old Goa Residency and take the college bus. Else you can stay at Bicholim or Mayem Lake and take a cab from there. Will hardly charge some 100-150 bucks.

5. However on the day of the process if you people want to freshen up a bit we will be more than welcome to open our rooms to you(provided of course we dont have classes). But you'll find someone or the other not having a class.
