hello sarjun, thanks for the info/link for admission. has any thread been opened for admission like many what i have seen till now? also,1 query pops up with the ranking which i found nowhere apart from here to ask.had BIM fallen into the cluster of 25 then it could have differed by a slight , say +5/-5 elsewhere apart from the sources you've mentioned.But here itself at pagalguy, where you guys are mostly active in this thread,how is it that it stands at 56?ain't it a huge margin?well,going by the placement scenarios that BIM's website has published, it should definitely fall into the top 25 if not the top 30s.then what is the segregating factor that have pushed it's name that far?have asked many including but not limited to the faculties of the mostly renowned age old coaching centers.They too have said that it is the quota(TN) that might have made it so.But when I asked about the quality of education provided there,which you can enlighten me even more,their prompt reply was WONDROUS!!!
Pagalguy's ranking is perception-based ranking and does not provide the true picture. BIM has been there for the last 27 years and the quality of education is as good as an above average B-school.
The quota exists because BIM is a TN government B-school and hence has to comply with the norms laid down by Bharathidasan University (TN Govt university based in Trichy). However the current 1st year batch (28th batch) has got a rich mix of people from outside of the four southern states. We conducted interviews in Delhi,Mumbai,Hyderabad and Kolkata in addition to the usual Bangalore,Chennai and Trichy and that has brought in a difference in diversity.

Dude dominic I am not a student of BIM, an applicant but these are the facts I would like to highlight.There are a few other B-schools like Jamnalal Bajaj,which has seats for Non-Maharashtrians as few as 18 out of 120 so is for XIMB-Bhubaneshwar which has a quota of 85% reserved for Orissa people and there are plenty like them.So does it actually hamper the reputation of the b-school?The problem is not with the b-schools, but the country we are living in. BIM being a Govt aided B-school has less TN seats than what they have.
And yes,the coaching centres, where you have asked about BIM,themselves have shown BIM in their top 25-30 list.I dont know which coaching centre are you referring yo but I am referring IMS,Career Launcher and TIME which are the "mostly renowned age old coaching centers".
Had a 2-hour long birthday bash last night for a fellow Galacticos member. The fellow made sure every one of us got cake cream applied on our faces. Not stopping with that, we gathered our junior buddies, the Huntos, and gave them facial treatment.
Rained heavily last evening. Monsoon has started. Best time to go to Kallanai and Mukkombu dams when the Kaveri river would be flush with high water levels.
Went for a walk till BHEL in the rain. Came back to hostels, saw some guys playing rugby in the rain and joined the fun
Penultimate day of the trimester. One more exam tomorrow and a vacation for, well...3 days. Had south Indian style banana leaf lunch, keeping with Messcom's tradition of rounding off trimesters with such special lunches. Can't wait to go back home
About 50% of students have gone to their homes in TN and Bangalore, the rest are staying back in campus. Apparently a trip to Puliyancholai has been planned. A small stream located 80 kms from Trichy between Thuraiyur and Namakkal, I had been to the same place at the same time (during Durga Puja) last year.
Classes commence on 7th itself and an assignment already - read an IT Strategy case and come prepared for discussions.

Sekhar, This style of having meal on Banana leaf is a tradition of west bengal as well. A tradition that purely serves the purpose of hygiene.
Battle time in campus. MARWAR, the annual Marketing Warfare game was officially inaugurated last night by Dr. S. Jayakrishna, Prof Abhishek Kumar and Prof Sabari Raghavendran.
Day 1 today. Presentations by the teams and the guides after which guides will be assigned to teams. The guides are known as "Ministers" and the teams, "Troops". Video shoots, photo shoots, video cutting, audio mixing, etc happening in full swing (As I type this, a friend is asking for MP3 cutter software in IP Messenger ). Time to indulge in the fundas of Kotler and Sun Tzu.
Adrenaline has reached a peak at MARWAR. After choosing an offering and giving it a name and a tagline, the teams are now done with their market research. Analysis of the survey results on in full swing as the deliverable, to be submitted at midnight, takes shape.
I myself am guiding a team and it feels great to see the enthusiasm levels among the team members.
just a little aberration. going by what your saying bim trichy seems to be located in a beautiful place
i have always had the penchant for travelling but never could travel much. But my job in a big 4 company allowed me to travel to remote places of uttar pradesh, jharkhand , nagur and even remote places of goa ( 3 months)
Diwali & Placements are approaching... Dreadfully happy . 2nd years are sincerely preparing to crack the companies of their choice. Lot of changes have been brought in the workings of Placement committee and lot of new companies are expected this year...
Been a bit laid back during the last week - sleeping for longer than usual, skipping breakfast on a couple of days - went into a comfort zone only to discover that 5 deadlines are staring at me. Gotta gear up.
Friend and fellow puy kamalaandi is getting married on Monday. A trip to Madurai before I set off to Chennai for Diwali. Would be spending time with books given the impending placement season.
Talking about placements, we had the pre-placement talk by Murugappa Group yesterday. Two of our alumni, one from the 19th and the other from our senior (26th) batch came and offered us gyaan on the company, job profile, work culture, personal advice etc.
For the first time in 1.5 years,worked for an entire week on one presentation - ERP along with Rajkumar and successfully completed it. Hoping to get positive reviews from Visiting faculty.
And tomo is diwali, more than 200+ students went home and i'm one of the rest 40 who are yet to go .Hopefully I too will be leaving in another 5 or 6 hours as I need to work on ISO documents of Crescita'11,the flagship event of BIM.

@Rohit, Trichy is located right at the centre of Tamilnadu and is an important connecting point between Chennai and south Tamilnadu (Madurai,Rameswaram etc). To be frank, it is not a town of pubs and coffee shops but there are various other things such as the Kallanai dam across the Kaveri river, rock fort temple, srirangam temple, tanjore etc that make it a city worth visiting.
Looks like the folks who have stayed back in campus are having a great time out there. They almost scared two poor souls to death by bursting crackers inside their rooms They shot a video of the whole thing and it was funny seeing the reaction of those two guys.
It is for this fun that I am always eager to get back to campus each time I come home. Leaving tomorrow afternoon, will reach in the evening.
This being monsoon season today was cloudy morning. I hardly get up early , but dunno why ,woke up by 6 in the morning and was not feeling sleepy , jus came out of my room to get a glimpse of what I would rate the most beautiful thing i ever saw in BIM . . a peacock dancing , flaring all its wings. it was such a beauty !!!!
