hi seniors,
when the classes for the PFM generally starts for the new session. is it 15 june or july or anything else?

122

hey guys the website tells that the avg sal for the batch passing this year is 6.7 lpa.is this figure of 6.7 for national placements or both national and international combined.can the seniors tell what was the lowest salary offered this year.during my gd the rumour was that the lowest sal offered was 6.3 can seniors tell about its veracity.if this is true then the range turns out to be pretty narrow i.e. 6.3-7.0(good when u compare it with other b schools where highest goes to 10+ and lowest 3.0 something).
apart from that in future (some years down the line)can we shift to hardcore management activities(like fin or mktg) or will we have to spend our entire life in jungle.

123

Hi Hemant (Formulaone at Pagalguy)!

First of all Congrats for getting admission at IIFM !!

All the seniors (including me) are busy in their Organizational Training and they are out of Campus these days. We left our campus on 12-15 th April and all of us will be back in the campus on 30th June to 2nd July. So, None of us were able to answer the queries which were asked at Pagalguy during these days...

I think u people will be reporting to IIFM on 19th June...

Now, ur query regarding Placements 2007.... This Year the average annual salary gone to Rs 6.7 lakhs including both national and overseas placements. Out of 3 overseas placements our seniors accepted only 2 and rejected one offer from Olam International (Highest salary paying organization). Highest domestic salary was Rs 7.5 L from NCDEX and lowest was offered by HDFC bank i.e. Rs 5.0 L. Highest International Offer was made by Olam i.e. US $ 55000.

Regarding the Job Profile, Yes u can start ur career in any of the fields say it in Marketing, Microfinance, Environment, Finance, even in IT right after passing out from IIFM. so dont worry...as no one from IIFM is going 2 join Forestry unless he/she is very much interested in Forest.

Further, I am providing u all, a complete information of how many of our seniors got what Job profile n where...

HDFC Assistant Manager 5 students
ICICI Bank ,, 7 students
ICICI Prudential ,, 7 Students
IndiaBulls (Financial Products) ,, 9 Students (Joining only 1 of them)
IMRB (Marktng research) Research 5 Students
Olam International Supply Chain Mng 2 (joining 1 of them)
Aditya Birla grp, (Laos unit) Asst Mngr 1
SKS Microfinance Area Mngr 1
NCDEX (commodities) 1
and many others............

all students got placed on Day 1 itself...

I think, that much information is enough for u to b happy after joining IIFM... If u have any further queries regarding anything at IIFM.. we seniors will guide u guys through, when we will be back in our campus..

hi
i m interested in joining IIFm ..but i have done my engineering in electronics nd communication..is dere ny specific sector dat d coll wants its students to be in??also i had 87.6 percentile in CAT last yr but strangly didnt get a call..wat r d general cut off s ???

138
Hi,
87.5 is a good score to be in IIFM. Your score might not be balanced.
For getting a call from IIFM u need to have balanced score.
And regarding you being an electronics engineer. No problem about that. Its totally dependent on your interest.
IIFM provided specialisation in 3 fields.
1.) Development Sector
2.) Environmental Sector
3.) Forestry Sector

Yes, 87.6 percentile is good enough to get a call from IIFM, provided you have a minimum of 50 pctl in each section. Do not worry at all about your educational background; in fact, the Institute wants people with diverse backgrounds. Prepare for IIFM as you would for any other Institute, and also be generally aware about agricultural and environmental problems facing the country today. No need to be an expert, but a working knowledge is definitely required so that you do not find yourself in no man's land.

On the whole, work smart... and if you are really interested in the Course, the interviewees will realize that and you will sail through...
