We designate batches by the year they pass out. So the Class of 2012 has already started. The next batch would start in April 2012.

There is no cut off for GMAT but the average GMAT of the class is between 690-710

Johnin - As of this batch, GMAT scores of the past three years were accepted. So I doubt if your 2008 score will be accepted. You can wait for final confirmations once the admissions window opens.

Educomp to invest Rs 150 cr in Great Lakes institute
T E Narasimhan / Chennai May 11, 2011, 0:35 IST


Educomp Solutions Ltd would invest Rs 150 crore in Great Lakes Institute of Management, a management institute based in Chennai.
S Sriram, executive director, Great Lakes Institute of Management, told Business Standard that the investment would be spread across 3-5 years and would be utilised to set up campus in Delhi, Mumbai and one in eastern India.

"We are also looking at setting up campuses in other developing countries and in Africa. Each centre would require an investment of around Rs 30-40 crore", he said.

Sriram said Great Lakes would not dilute any stake. "Instead it will come out with a product like e-learning which will suit Educomp requirements. Great Lakes will provide faculty and brand, while technology and marketing will be provided by Educomp and both the partners will share the revenue."
Chennai-based Great Lakes offers courses in business and management studies, and courses focusing on investment analysis, market research, strategic management, and business communication.

The management school has prominent industrialists as members of its advisory council including Ratan N Tata, chairman, Tata Sons Ltd, Madhur Bajaj, vice chairman, Bajaj Auto Ltd, Kumarmangalam Birla, chairman, Aditya Birla group, Jamshyd N Godrej, CMD, Godrej & Boyce Mfg Co Ltd, N R Narayana Murthy of Infosys, among others.

Hi Dav,

Unfortunately due to the high volume of applicants asking for personal feedbacks on their applications we would not be able to entertain such requests.

All the best.

No issues at all Indraneel. Thanks a lot for your quick reponse.
Its good to see that you are still helping people and solving their queries. I guess its time you should train a spartan as well along with you.

What say?

Hi Dav,

Just to add to what Neel has said, you would be welcome to reach out to the alumni of GL and seek their help in applications and your SOPs etc... if need be. They would be able to give you the best picture. GL does look at the profile in entirity and not focus just on your scores or just on your SOPs. SOPs/ Essays of course do have a lot to say about the applicant and the maturity and the thought process of the applicant.

Reach out to the alumni of GL, we would be glad to help in your processes. And yes, Spartans will join the forum soon :). No training etc... they just learn on the job here!

Cheers.

Yes with 7 years you certainly would rank amongst the ones with the highest work experience on campus. You need to carefully think about your plans then.
