2.how many of ur final students out of 120 have been placed ?wat was the avg CTC?plz be as exact as u can be.
3.have all the 1st years gt their summer placements?
4.does being a huge insti(in terms of no. of departments u run) be a backdraw wen it comes to placement?
5.wich specialization is best in kjs,if any?
plz reply ASAp.thank you so much.


@Ruchikaa... These queries have been answered many times b4 in detail. Anyways.. I am answering them again... maybe last time..

Fee hike at KJ will always look very small compared to other colleges. I have already described in my previous posts that the total expenditure at KJ will be 5 lacs for 2 years (includes hostel, mess food, laptop, formal suits, farewell and fresher party expenditures). addition to this amt is lifestyle based.

I dunno abt the number outta 120.. add 60 IB and 120 MMS students to make it 300.. 50% and more of the senior batch has been placed this year so far. avg package wud be arnd 6 mark as per my knowledge. the companies coming now are offering less packages. so the avg might decrease. The %age changes everyday and my updates re relatively old..

summer placement is going on.. 265/300 are placed already. HR and Marketing are totally placed. Finance companies are coming to campus now.

Yes... there is a disadv wen u have to place 300 students in such economic scenario. the %age of placement which drives u all to take admission.. takes a beating.. even thou the actual number of placed students will be much more than those in other colleges

Marketing and Finance are both equally sought after. HR too has excellent placement and faculty. Operations .. not many opt for it.. but lately we have got few very good teachers to join us and difference is visible now..

Results date cudnt be found out.. ur essays are being evaluated now.. in case I get to know any date.. I will let u all know.. Till then assume that the date is 15-17 th april.

Puys, I have exams on my head now and my condition is really pathetic those who have followed the simsr threads and can answer ur fellow aspirants.. pls do so..

All the best..

Good to see puys posting even so late when results r around the corner.Me too was travellin arnd so couldnt post on time..neways,this mite b useful for puys nxt yr soo...
My GD/PI was on 25 -03 at Mumbai.
GD was a case on a stadium in Pune which was built for Junior Commonwealth Games and thereafter became a white tiger for the management.We had to discuss as a Sports Administrator(Dont remembr the exact words),what r the steps to be taken.

PI:Panel consisted of two ladies,one was supposedly an HR professor thr as per a senior...went sumthin like this..

1.So u r comin from Delhi..y didnt u attend it thr itself
(Told that i wudnt like to hide anything and had other calls in Mumbai which i wanted to club it with..)
2.U quit ur job in Sep 08...what hv u been doin since then?
(Told that i was preparin for CAT n other exams ..one lady asked if i had been prepped by any insti;)...i tld that i did take thr help with practice matrl to clear the writtens and thats it...)
3.U want to major in Marketing..Why?
(Tried explaining my strengths in interpersonal and communication skills...she said she wasnt convinced...again said that im goal oriented and my work ex(marketing) has proven(targets & blah blah)..self motivated..etc..she said these are generic qualities for success and asked me specifically for marketing..i said that communication skills,ability to convey ideas in words...blah blah..)
4.Ok(the other lady,pointing towards a bell kept on the table)...explain to me what this means..i will give you 10 secs...
(The genius that i am ,thought for a while and came up with" a device to alert people" !!!!....this mite be my nemesis!!)
The ladies looked blank for a while ,shrugged and asked.."Is that it?"..n i said.."in 10 secs ma'am..."....No further questions thr...
5.U say u like to read..(i filled that in the form)...what d u read?
(I said i like to read biographies of business leaders...she asked me on three books i hav read and learnings from them..this went ok i guess..)
6.So u r sure u want to specialise in Marketing?
Yes maam:clap:

Ok Thank you...


When i came out ,the fellas outside told me that it went on for no longer than 5 mins!!!!!....
I felt it went ok as long as i was in thr...but ever since i came out and started analysing this,i can only keep finding faults....hope the ladies dont feel the same...
Seniors,feel free to judge my intrvw and lemme know ur feedbacks..i am not gonna get any from the college so at least i can know if i hav done sumthin wrong

Cheers!!

seniors, its being hell waiting more now!!! plz plz plz do tell us about the progress in our results processing and expected date..

seniors, it would be really nice of you to tell us about the placement scenario at the college..has the 2007-2009 batch already passed out?n r the placements still going on?heard really bad figures of placement at iims...so a bit confused

This thread is for GDPI experiences and not for queries.. We have queries threads running hence am not answering these queries here.. 😃
