About the Essays....there were 5 essays that yu need to write..as i havent applied to ISB , so i have no idea abt there similarity with ISB ...

Recos..that yu need not worry cos yur refree got to fill the same..But all in all its time consuming..and for me it tuk arund 15 days to get the form completed.

some of my college freinds in tcs will apply in 2 nd phase... rest assured some more in Cognizant... Does nyone have an idea abt no. of applicants in first phase & no. of selected??

Hi

I mite be wrong..abt the no.of applicant who applied..forgot...but i think it was some where close to 300 (excluding Kolkotta)..and selections were 48(again excluding Kol)..

But people usually apply in 2nd phase as most who apply in 1st phase arent sitting for other exams.

Hi Pranks

You have to get 2 references --- in your case yu can get it from ne of yur lecturers and may be people underwhom yu have done yur trng....

DD yu have to send to get the application form ..or yu can upload the same online using credit card.

References will have to be mailed directly by yur refrees to Great Lakes Chennai.

Manik

Hi!!

References need not be directly mailed by the refrees. The applicant also can get it in a sealed envelope and mail it across along with the filled in application form.

im thinking of applying again in the second phaze in that case.....can i???

Hi choc_guy

There definetly is a list of people in "On Hold" Category and not every one not selected/waiting is placed in this list.

Besides about applying for 2nd time in round two, I am realy sorry i have no idea abt the same..I hope some of the Present Lot of Great Lakers would answer about this soon.

All the very Best..hoping to see you at Great Lakes.

Manik

well thanks...tht makes me feel a bit bettr...u know wht....i screwed up my interview-----sooo sad about it...am sure if i get one more chance ill make it.....not much hope from on hold list.....any comments???

Hi

I would suggest to call the Great Lakes Authorities and ask them if you can apply again, i am sure if you are so interested in joining and are confident of making; 900 INR should never be a issue.

In between whats your profile...!!!

All the Best

hi im abhishek from kolkata.
2 yrs into IT marketing
1.5 yrs in Bpo industry...not very gr8 academics.....cat score 86%......avrg extra currucilar......actively into social servic though

Hi ,
I have got 90% in CAT.
18 months of work-ex in IT company.
Do i have a chance of getting a interview call?

Hi Sunder

Great Lakes follows a process wherein just scores in CAT, or GMAT are not the only criteria for admission. So almost every applicant is considered for GD/PI and once all the stages are completed he or she is evaluated for admission.

Considering your CAT score and Work Ex which wud be around 2 years by the time you join Great Lakes; I feel you stand a good chance you leave an impact in the Evaluation Process if you perform well in Essays/Reference/Gd/PI.

All the very Best.

Please Feel free to ask any queries.

You cannot apply for the second phase. We have the process in place to find out even if you do so .. :D
