@achamp

Can you kindly suggest what kind of responsibilities shouldered can be mentioned under 'Personal'?

Kindly help @The.Red.Devil @DeeBee1



Any responsibility at personal level, be it helping in your family business, leading a football team, running a debate club, Founding member of an NGO, etc.

@The.Red.Devil , @DeeBee1 If I select No to the question "If you are shortlisted based on your profile, are you willing to appear for interviews in Mumbai in January 2014?" , then in case I do get shortlisted, when and how can I appear for that. pls confirm as I am from kolkata

Yes, you will be allowed to choose your interview city if you are shortlisted.

@The.Red.Devil, @MassiveDynamic and @DeeBee1. The work experience tab in the form mentions that "All achievements mentioned should be accompanied by proofs which must be produced at the time of interview". However, there is no space to provide professional achievements in the form (There is a Responsibilities tab in the Work Experience Section). So, should we mention the professional achievements in the Responsibilities tab or we do not mention professional achievements in the form? Thanks in advance guys..

Yes, you can use that box to mention these achievements. However, considering the 50 word constraint, I would also suggest the use of the versatility section to mention these achievements (that is if they throw light on some sort of versatile skills)

I have achievements in the field of sports at all levels i.e National , State, University and Corporate. As each of the achievements are in a different level, do I have to mention each separately, or I can in the same Activity?

Am asking this because we have to select the level for each activity and we can enter a max of only 5 activities.

Please help me in this regard. 👼



Since there is a cap of 5 activities, I would suggest that you mention one best achievement in each category. For example, if you are mentioning sports, mention the national level achievements. You may make a mention of the other sports related achievements in the description box provided. Hope this helps!

Okay. Thanks a lot. Just to be clear - I do not mention my responsibilities, but write about my achievements instead in the 'Responsibilities' tab. And use the versatility section to mention achievements that might highlight my skills/utilities.

Hi, I was the student coordinator of the cultural fest of my institute. Where should this come under? I also have many such positions of responsibility during my college days. Do these come under Personal or Professional Responsibility or Versatility?
I have also founded an online startup. Where do I mention this?
@DeeBee1 @The.Red.Devil Thanks in advance!

1. Mention it under professional responsibility shouldered.

2. Online start up can be shown in work ex if you were involved on a full time basis.

@The.Red.Devil @DeeBee1
In the versatility section after filling the activity name, interest, proficiency, level etc, the "brief description" area requires description of that particular event only(for which rank,level etc has been filled)or a description about the overall interest in that particular activity would be okay too?

Mention a description of that activity first (if required) and if you have space left feel free to mention overall interest.

@DeeBee1 @red-devil Hi... I was the Convener & Head of the National Tech Fest of my institute. Will it come in personal responsibility or professional responsibility??

@Kvothe.

Hello

@The.Red.Devil ;I am working in a telecom company from past three years, I am currently working as customer support engineer. I have also worked on couple of projects as well providing end to end delivery to the customer which requires working on the servers. My job profile falls somewhere between IT and Telecom fields

The specialization that I really want to choose is operations but I am in a fix between IM and operations considering that my I have done B.tech. Can you please help me out as which one should be my first preference? I would be more than happy to provide more info regarding my job profile if required.Thanks in Advance.



Your first choice should be based on your interests and where you see yourself after passing out. Have a look at the following two links. They will help you make a choice:


1. Course Structure of both the specs: http://www.spjimr.org/pgdm/program-architecture.aspx


2. Profiles offered in both specs: http://insideiim.com/final-placements-spjimr-mumbai-class-of-2013-unverified-report/

Hope to hear from u soon!
@The.Red.Devil @DeeBee1 I've completed my engineering from Nagpur University. In our university, First Year is based on yearly pattern. And 2nd year onwards is based on semester pattern. In the Academic Details section, we can either choose yearly pattern for all years, or semester pattern for all years. How should I go about this? I was thinking of choosing semester pattern and then filling up my First Year marks under 1st Semester, leaving the 2nd Semester marks blank. There is no other option. Will it be ok?

Yes, feel free to mention both in the versatility. Do keep the newspaper cutting and certificates ready though.

Also I would like to ask whether leading a sports team to win a state level tournament come under responsibility?and further, would that come under personal or professional responsibility?

If there is a professional setback in ur career like a termination or suspension for procedural errors in an organization is there any way to enter a good b-school with it.
