Hi guyz,
Already told one of my relatives in chennai to buy the application
now as there is very little time left plz answer my queries ASAP
The website says tht the pattern is similar to CAT but has emphasis on quant
and there are only 90 qs
is there differential marking in GET like CAT
does emphasis on quant mean more quant qs or more imporatnce being given to quant score
also is the difficulty level of the paper overall and sectionwise lower, equal to, or higher than CAT
I do have CL's study material with me
Plz do answer guyz cos really do want to get in this year

pinnochio · January 17, 2006, 6:40am

forgot to add one more thing
as there are only 90 qs
is there any RC at all or is the paper more vocab oriented
and is the vocab contextual or straight antonym synonym type
i know there are a lot of queries
but please do take the time out to reply
will be very thankful

pradeep_sonthalia · January 17, 2006, 7:05am

Hi All,

This is my first message on the thread.

I have bought the GLIM form through online payment but have not send it yet.
I am a bit confused about this GET exam. I have scored 87 percentile in CAT and I have 18 months of Workex till date with Infosys.
From the seniors I wanted to know more about the college.
If any of the seniors could please pass on their phone numbers it would be of great help.

Thanks

mkinra · January 18, 2006, 5:00am

Hi all,

I am applying to GLIM this year.. yet to send the applicaiton form. have a few doubts regarding edu. loan. I heard that you can provide a guarantor to sponsor the amount. what are all the documents neccessary to produce for the guarantor besides the payslip. Also, does the guarantor need to come in person and sign in the loan form or is ot ok if we get the guarantor's sign and then submit. It wud be really helful if this info cud be provided. Coz if I get in , then my uncle is going to sponsor me. But the problem is he is leaving for US in mid march and wont be back for another 3 months. So is it ok if he signs and sends me the doc which i can submit ? Thanks

pradeep_sonthalia · January 18, 2006, 5:48am

Hi Niki.

http://www.indian-bank.com/downloads.htm#loanappln
please go through the url mentioned above, u will get the online educational loan application form.
In the last page of the application form they have mentioend all the documents that has to be submitted.

coming back to your question, the signature of ur uncle is enough, he doesn't have to be physically present.
i am myself applying for educational loan and had a talk to the bank managers regarding these issues.
