do they hav any hostel facilities

life seems to be cool and the environment really friendly for a heritage institute in the heart of our city of joy is the well reputed, Indian Institute of Social Welfare and Business Management. Faculties are the best in this institute including the canteen food especially the fish chop........ yummy.... 😉 and to add another feather in its crown it is situated in the midst of the "book center" College Street. the placements being good even at times of recession gives a better competitive advantage over other B-Schools. :thumbsup:

LIFE AT IISWBM the premier B-School is really full of fun and at the same time quality education and better placement facilities

what is teaching strategy like? do we have pre-class reading material? do we have prescribed textbooks or are we supposed to prepare our own notes based on class lectures? n what about tests? are there periodic class tests or just end of year exams? also, are there refresher/orientation courses? thanx 😃

*what is the teaching strategy like?

Nthing concrete has been goin so far in ths thread but stilll i m posting..and hoping for ur repliesss......

So,We are finally at IISWBM ....and for everyone who is here these two years means a lot .. so far wat i hv heard and seen has had created positve impact on me either it is the colg history ...learned profs or a good bunch of people in our batch... ....

On first day being a Puy and on orkut acted as perfect icebreaker .... and we introduced ourselves by our pg id only....

Unlike last yr we r 104 students in our batch and we r divided in 2 sections..but our bonding is nt goin to suffer as i hv seen thru the orkut posts....:cheerio:

It feels good to b back to studiess after 2 yrs...and to be under so nice faculty but still trying to pick up my pace ,strting classes have gave a nice trailor of what might come in the coming time for me but i thnk will pull up wid help of my frnds who will be posting here soon ....

also we r yet to interact wid seniors in colg as they r busy in their summers....
hope to see thm soon too...
would try my best to bring more guys to pg ..bye for now....

this is probably my 1st post on this thread....but now i can say that i truly belong to this thread since now i'm a bonafide student of this premier institute on the 3rd of july, we had the much awaited inauguration of the MBA(DAY) course of the 2009-11 batch, and what an immensely special feeling it was to be present there in the institute on such a big day!!! we had the enviable opportunity to interact with all the faculty members of the institute...and i soon found out the reason why the IISWBM faculty is rated among the very best in the country....all the faculty members led by our respected Director made us feel completely at home....the usual apprehension that one normally faces at the beginning of something new was gone in a matter of seconds:cheerio: kudos to all the faculty members and members of the support staff for making it possible.....well, that was all about the inaugural day in a nutshell....now we are gradually getting into the groove of the busy, hectic lifestyle which one normally associates with B-School life....and getting to spend such a life at a place like IISWBM is an experience worth cherishing
