IIM Calcutta's PGPEX, post graduate program for executives, is hosting its 6th annual business Symposium - Lattice. The business symposium aims to propagate the implementation of new ideas and thinking in the corporate world and the society. It also strives to provide meaningful coverage on current trends, opportunities and challenges in India. Keeping this in mind the theme for Lattice 2014 is "Synergy of Youth and Experience: India's Future".

In the last decade, due to an aging workforce, the workplace has grown to include multiple generations of employees. The NASSCOM-iPrimed Study in 2013 summarized that "As workforces are evolving and needs of employees are becoming more complex; the rules of management are becoming obsolete faster than we believe." Lattice 2014 intends to explore such emerging cross- generational issues, and discover possible synergies amongst these seemingly polar groups which can benefit our organizations. This two day event spans across panel discussions and dialogues by noted individuals from different spheres of society.

Finally!!..I am in too!!

155

Hi,

I got final admit from ISB (Hyd campus) & IIMC PGPEX as well. I have 10+ yrs of IT experience and want to pursue strategic & management consulting. Which college should I go for? Any inputs from Almuni from these colleges is welcome.

Also I saw placement statistics for IIMC PGPEX for 2013, not very impressive given that they less than 50 students to place, and the roles offered were also more or less average for IT guys. ISB has more international & Ivy league college tie-ups and visiting faculty, and better branding. Hence I am in a dilemma now.

156

Got in

157

Got through. Got an admit from ISB as well. I am thinking of preferring IIMC for IIM tag as well as lower cost and proximity to my home town. Suggestions pls.

158

Selected and Joining... 😃

159

Congratulations to those who got the confirmation. Those who have not got the confirmation, no need to dishearten. I was dinged at IIM A but selected at IIM C. IIM A, IIM B, and IIMC all are tier I institutes.
