A post by a person on SIBM Pune group..Kindly read and share thoughts..Posting in this group for more view points.
'Let me share something interesting happening at my home. My uncle who is currently a professor in IIT Bombay tells me that the real chaos in Maharashtra especially Pune/Mumbai will begin from tomorrow. Due to the relentless monsoon for the next 4 months, according to him the healthcare system will collapse. He's not a pessimist. He's just realistic. Maharashtra is really going to be tested for its willpower/strength. According to him all schools and colleges will definitely be shut/partially open until February 2021. Which brings me to the situation at home. My parents are hell bent that I shouldn't go to NM for finance/SIBM for marketing due to so and so reasons mentioned above. I couldn't convert IIFT. So that's out. Assuming I don't convert XL, I am left with the New IIMs U,T,R. Which brings me to the point will people actually consider the state situation too? That's quite possible. For example things will quickly open in Karnataka Kerala Rajasthan Jharkhand by lets say in 6 weeks. This is a unique year. Waitlist logic may go for a toss and also CAT 2020 will become ultra competitive. But if you can convert a top 15 college for the academic year 2021-23 you are going to be like the Invincible Windies team of 1980s. No online classes, excellent summet internships, top class placements in 2023. Money will be flowing in the market. Covid will exist in small traces but with a vaccine in place. So should you go the establishment colleges in Mumbai/Pune like JB, NM, SPJain, NITIE, SIBMP, IITB, TISS or got to the best of the new IIMs like U, T, R or gather all your energy and attempt CAT 2020 for the third/fourth time in my case. If I was a 2019/2020 passout I would definitely go for CAT 2020. A lot of uncertainty. Do share your thoughts too. '
Converted MICA, IIM Raipur, IIM Udaipur
Interested in both finance and marketing, which one should i choose?
Also if someone could comment on the reason behind selection
Profile after Bschool matters a lot
Guys according to the first list movement do you think the trend would be similar to last year? Or will the waitlist movement considerably decrease henceforth?
