I have applied to FORE this year and my CAT %ile is 92.43 ,decent acads ,2.5 yrs of IT exp at IBM.
Just now saw the Pagalguy Ranking of B schools . I was shocked to see FORE at 40 th position. I somehow had the perception that FORE comes within top 25 . Based on the CAT %ile on which the institutes send call I thought FORE comes after NITIE,MDI,IMT G, IMI. Also it has the location advantage . But in the ranking TAPMI , KJSOM ,NIRMA and even new colleges like Great Lakes are placed better.
Seniors please throw some light on this. Is this really the story? In what aspects are those colleges better than FORE ? Is it placement or faculty or anything else?
About the placement scenario no one is coming up with the exact figures. Not even the FORE website. Is there any way to know this ? It is one of the most important criterion for opting for a B school .So why no clear cut discussion on this topic ?

I was about to post a similar query.. but good that you already did it. The PG rankings of b-schools has really shattered my impressions/expectations about FORE.
Seniors are requested to clarify/suffice/retaliate watever... but pls enlighten!

Guys check this out PaGaLGuY.com - The Everything of MBA, CAT 2007, GMAT, XAT, CAT 2008, SNAP, IIM - Salary up by 35 pc at FORE's final placements - Placements
Did not apply to any of the colleges like TAPMI, KJSOM, NIRMA etc beacuse I thought FORE is much better college than these.
Now all the last dates for applying is over. The PG B-school ranking has shattered all hopes.
Seniors please say something about the actual scenario.
i wd like to throw some light... well all d coll tat u r naming r more or less in d same league.. even i got call frm all d above... n i opted for FORE.. the edge FORE has its faculty... the infra is decent.. but might not be up to ur expectations.. but d faculty n placements r awesome.. n dont go by d rankings.. every other magazine has a diferent survey n it includes a lot more politics which is beyond our scope to understand.......
Do i stand a chance?? Is there anyone who knows or knows of somebody who's managed to get a call with a similar sectional score anytime before?
Help.
well u can check out d mandatory disclosure for sectionals... but still i feel u r chances r too bleak... the minimum cutoff for quant i believe was 55 last yr.. so keep ur fingers crossed n hope for d best...
well FORE is much better than all the other colleges mentioned in the post. Why?
1) The Placement (Packages as well as Profiles offered). Placements at FORE have a good track record and are coming up BIG TIME. Much better than the other colleges mentioned 2) Great Faculty - No Complaints regarding that. Loads from IIMs IITs have rich industry experience and have taught for a number of years in BSchools that have been ranked much higher. 3) The Locational Advantage of being in New Delhi. This is where the companies are. An advantage in faculty regular as well as guest. We have weekly interaction with the Corporates. I guess our Locational Advantage has a great role to play in that.
4)Extremely strict about attendance discipline etc etc we crib no end but hey thats a good thing
Where it Lacks 1) Infrastructure..Although therez a new campus coming up in Gurgaon but it will take time
You have made a very good decision by applying to FORE. You'll surely agree if you get through.

well about the survey it is not authentic just based on perceptions no analysis of any of the aspects that matter placements,infrastructure,Faculty etc not even so much as visiting the BSchools.....The methodology is inappropriate..you can see in the survey discussion the moderator himself has said that the results are not indicative. There is serious criticism being meted out to the methodology of the survey in the thread
And yes Another weakness of FORE is the perception..the administration is very miserly to spend anything on creating awareness among the common junta but it is well known among the corporates and enjoys a good reputation with them.
About the percentiles I expect it to go up this year and sectionals are taken into account.and yes work ex is a big help

Thanx a lot . Feeling a lot assured now. . But why is it so that the management doesn't diclose the actual salary figures.

Hi, Thanx for the elaborate discussion on different parameters. See, these are the things we aspirants 'look forward to' from seniors. :smile:
I have one more question though...
Wen u say FORE lacks 'Infrastructure'... wat do you exactly mean? I wanna ask that doesn't FORE have a hostel/campus of its own?? The brochure displays the picture of a good campus/building... wats that??
well about the survey it is not authentic just based on perceptions no analysis of any of the aspects that matter placements,infrastructure,Faculty etc not even so much as visiting the BSchools.....The methodology is inappropriate..you can see in the survey discussion the moderator himself has said that the results are not indicative.

Hi Again...
Just wanted to add a bit...
We can't say that the 'survey' is not authentic, it's just a populist image. The rankings has been based on the votes of puys(us). Although it may not portray the correct rankings of diff. B-schools , BUT it surely does display aspirants' perception and preference of B-schools. One can definitely have an idea of what his/her fellow aspirants think.
FORE lags behind in the poll... and one of the foremost reasons according to me is insufficient participation in advertising the school by the authorities/alumni/students. I can easily see that FORE threads are not quite sticky/regularly-used on PG. The least the seniors can do is to interact more on PG just like the other schools do.
PS: I hope authorities/alumni/students take this positively as i don't intend to offend anyone. All I want is for FORE to rock as I am 1 of the aspirants.
