Results for the new batch are finally out. GIM is all ready to welcome its new batch of 2011-2013. I hope this will be a new beginning for GIM, and students at GIM will leave no stone unturned to be where it deserves to be.

Sab pata chalega...come to campus ...yaar kuch wahan ke liye bhi chod do..anyways since u have asked so here it goes
We have facilities for Volleyball, Badminton , TT, Carom, a ground for Football and Cricket etc and then beaches pe beach volleyvall ;)
We people havent got the chance to avail swimming facilities as yet but it should be there by the time you people reach there.
About PGP1 and PGP2 interaction i think you can guess from PG itself, you will get all support from your senior batch and you will have to provide same to your junior batch. The atmosphere is friendly and we live here as a big GIM FAMILY.
We do have Gym at the GIM sanquelim campus ...right ??
etching to post in this thread.......the anticipation of an exciting and treacherous path ahead fills me with anxiety but yet having read about all the wonderful people.... the traditions and the camraderie they shared with each other gives me a fillip to embrace the future with open arms.........
To my future batchmates and to the GIM way of life
Cheers!!!!!
edit: seems like the 5'o clock bug bit me wrote "etching" instead of "itching"...hehehe :lookround::cheerio: my apologies!!!!
Gym hai kya sanquelim GIM mein....I am askin this on a serious note.
WOW there is someone who has read the whole life @ GIM thread :)
From the enthusisasm of puys, I am sure this thread will see many more additions in the years to come.
Mediums of social networking have a dicey lifespan...be it orkut or secondlife...But look at this Life @ GIM is now entering into its 5th year !!
The testimony to people's attachment to it. For many of us, life @ GI thread has become a part of the very experience that GIM is.
A place where you can candidly share the happenings without much restrictions...and still, everyone who posted stuck to an unwritten code of keeping the reputation of the college foremeost when putting any content here.
Self regulation at its finest :)
Life at GIM is about preserving memories. You have a nice experience, then you re-live by posting on the thread and live it again when you read it two years later !!
An account of the best years of our lives preserved for posterity.
The Batch of 10-12 continued the PG tradition in grand style. I hope the 11-13 batch will take it to newer heights !!
All the Best !!

PS - will put a few nostalgic posts in the days to come when I find regular net access 😃

Well i m not qualified enough to answer this question. I passed out from the old campus, which had a gym. So by process of extrapolation ( the process we all MBAs love), i m sure the new campus would hv a bigger, better and more equipment filled gym.
Now that i hv gone back into the memory lane, here i go.
the old campus gym was actually in a building which was 403yrs old. Yes it was the oldest structure in the campus, which itself was 300yrs old. The gym had almost all the equipment needed to keep and build a body. It had 3 windows from which we could see the river mandovi, which itself was hardly 10m from the gym.
The only problem with the gym was casa. Now casa is a small eatery which serves snacks like samosa, meals, tea, bread pakoras, cold drinks and all. From one of the windows, we cud see casa's tables and ppl enjoying the evening/morning snacks. so the normal routine was hit the gym, listen to some good music, sweat it out, adore urself in the mirror and end it with pakoras and coke

Thanks Nitiksh.. very good description of the old campus! Its must have been quite an experience to study and stay there, the structure has always amazed me when I used to pass by that stretch as a kid, a 19th century hospital transformed into one of India's leading B-Schools...spectacular! Living there must have been like an adventure in itself, with the river and ferry ride et all (reminds me of the Adventures of The Famous Five-Enid Blyton) 😃
omiey07 SaysGym hai kya sanquelim GIM mein....I am askin this on a serious note.
yes we have a state-run gymnasium in sanquelim with indoor badminton courts...and the news is that a swimming pool which is already constructed, is going to be opened anytime soon!
What is the general day's schedule(with reference to the span for which the lectures are conducted and the other activities around) in GIM? Is it too hectic?

Well dis all i can say abt life in GIM
i would like to ask
Are the rooms for single and double sharing of same size/dimensions ?
if not the by what % is the bigger one larger than the smaller one....
I am confused between choosing single and double hostel room...
What is recommendable to go for a single room or double room ?
@new campus...

@7figure. . . .If I remember a senior saying, the students will be allotted Double occupancy in the first year and in the second year, they will be provided by an option to shift in single occupancy room. .. . . .
correct me if wrong. . . . . . ....

@omiey07: no sir you are not wrong!
@7figure: the single occupancy rooms are roughly about 75% the size of that of double occupancy rooms. but as omiey07 mentioned that in the first year one has to go for double occupancy room and (s)he can choose for a single room in his/her second year.....
