Hey ashok. Prashant cited me your query and am going to take the liberty of answering your query specific to HR. The HR scene is fantastic everywhere with the kind of unprecedented growth that India Inc is experiencing. It has a direct correlation with people in HR. Everyone needs people to recruit people. Ofcourse thats just one function that HR offers.. but thats an example to stress the need for HR professionals. Risking exaggeration i would like to quote a lot of professional speakers who've come down for Guest lectures, saying things like HR pro's are going to be in greatest demand with services dominating the business ideologies.
Ok horizontals are the functions viz. Finance, HR, Operations and Mktng.
Here at Great Lakes you don't get exposed exclusively to Hr. We have something like Strategy, OB and Hr clubbed under a common umbrella.
So if you are looking for specific HR stuff only you might want to consider other options. Otherwise the topics covered under this umbrella here are exciting.
Companies who've already specified their requirements in HR include Ford, HCL,E-serv to name a few. HR consultancies like Ma Foi and Mercer have recruited from Great Lakes in the past and are likely to visit us again. This is a purely personal picture that i can share as far as Hr is concerned.
You are welcome to ask more if you want and i'l try my best to answer. In the current batch there are around 7-8 students who have taken this Horizontal as their Major/Minor. Hope the data helps :)
ciao.
Thanks man. What abt last year's placements? Any info on IT? Planning to come down sometime next month to get a feel of the campus.
Regards,
Ashok.
When are the results of the 1st Phase Kolkata round of interviews coming?
Hi All
Wishing The complete Great Lakes Community a very happy and a prosperous New Year!
Manik Kinra
A very happy new year to all of you out there! May this year bring truck loads of happiness and successes in your personal and professional careers!
The results for the Phase I Kolkata round were declared today and can be found out over phone.
Specific query on IT related HR... well lets see what the companies have to offer in the coming weeks. A few of the pioneer (1st batch) students are placed in HCL Infy Allsec TCS etc. I don't have an accurate information on the kind of work they are actually into. Btw the number of students specializing in HR was around 7. That's something that you might want to know for a complete picture :)

Hi!!
Contact details ... will try and get that. But I guess the mgmt will share the info only after the second phase.
Vijai
Wow!! this thread is bursting into activity as soon as CAT results are out..well, we did expect that..
Reg: placements i am not sure as to whether we are allowed to divulge any information. Until the D-Day happens we are supposed to be tight lipped.
anyways giving you some optimistic picture we do have a minimum of 40 odd confirmed companies participating in the first cycle of placements. another 40 odd are expected.we hope to end placements before jan 20. lets see..
guyz dont worry..u guyz are in much better position than we were and this phenomenon is going to happen for all successive batches of Great lakes. so chill maadi!!
btw the yahoo group should have been named 2007 as we are the 2006 batch..
hope all selected people post in their profiles and interview experience in this thread for the benifit of others and we hope u people will carry forward this thread for the next 20 days while we are busy with placements and take great lakes to greater heights.
Together we shall conquer!!
ciao,
Prashanth
Hi All
For all those who wanted to know abt the loan...I just called Great Lakes and was told (by some one from Indian Bank) >>>

If yu want more... Show collateral.
Rate of interest ... 9%
Processing.. They will courier yu the documents to your place ..Go to Indian Bank in your city..and sign the documents in their presence.
Thanks and Regards
