Life @ Great Lakes Inst. of Mgmt-Chennai [GLIM]

Hey pradeep
I just read ur post on the tie ups of GLIM with other colleges.
Well the info that I have is that as of now the MBA program is based on the Yale program structure but as such we will not get a certificate for this. Also there is a Phd research centre which has a tie up with Yale.

boss thts a diffivult questnf for seniors to answer i guess.

i gave the gdpi in dec.(thy didnt give me a formall gdpi call -calld thm and came to know im supposed to attend it).
at the inerview this guy had a fight with some lpg service provider and my pi was screwed up.waited for 1 month for results.calld thn-am on some kinda on hold list...no formall mail/letter till now.very dissapointed nt coz i didnt get through-bt the way thy treated me.absolutely no procedure of communication.see sp jain dubai.how good thy are.thy send u a offer/reject lettr....how much does it cost them to atleast send a mail???

seniors i know i sound like sour grapes-bt its nt abt admissions.its abt right/wrongs.when i have paid application fees cant thy inform me abt gdpi attendence?and whn i have given the gdpi cant thy communicate me the results??

we aspirants are like worms....we have no value or identity in hands of mba institutes.its nt abt glim-most of the instittes are like this.we are always taken for for granted.

Although i empathize with choc_guy i still have my few cents...
If you have noticed the website carefully, it talks about a decision date which is when the results are officially announced. Getting back to the point on not informing someone that he/she has been rejected and how wonderfully well some other institute does it: The process of admission is simply different. People who have not been rejected cannot be told they are rejected, unless ofcourse you think otherwise. The status of admission is dynamic and hence it does not make sense to update a candidate everyday on the status, guess one would also appreciate its a pointless exercise. Given this background i don't see why a candidate should get vexed about it all. Hope avi_15's question was answered in the first couple of lines!
A piece of advice for people who are yet to take up their admission rounds- get an idea of the post interview process as soon as your interview is over! I know at this juncture everyone is anxious about getting somewhere, but a future Manager's test lies in how well we handle these situations.

Quote myself:
I forgot to address the issue on attending the gd/pi:- The kolkata round was only on 1 day and i presume you chose that day when you sent in your application form like every other candidate does. So i wonder what's more to communicate. Maybe it would've suited had someone reminded that you had applied and you had an interview... i totally agree but hey we could be a little reasonable here!
Now i am sticking my neck out here... and i could be wrong with my facts but if thats the case i am ready to go back and reach your f/b to the right places

okie so applying to an institute means assuming u are calld for the gdpi?gr8!!!!

abt nt informing coz u r on hold n its dynamic-id say gr8 once again-so u dont even say u are on hold and well get back to u?

see these are just weak arguments.this way improvements cant be done.

u can argue-bt thts wasnt my point.i dont wish to do so.its nt my job.as current students u should be concerned abt ur institute.mera kya hai.
thanks buddy.chill.take care.

AND THUMPSOWN FOR GLIM.I EXPECTED IT NT TO B LIKE THE OTHER INDIAN B SCHOOLS MENTALITY.ANYWAYS-APUN KO KYA MATLAB.

Dear choc_guy21,

I would suggest, you put your grievance to the right channel. Your feedback will be certainly taken as constructive. Possibly, writing to the admission mail-ids given in the admission brochure or the institute website will be the right things. Wish you all the very best.

did u ask them what does on hold status mean???
whether they wud consider u after the 2nd round was over or something like that??
whom did u talk to at GLIm??

avi_15

Hi avi.

I came to know about my selection after i called them up. And in a couple of days i also got a letter (by post) from Great lakes confirming my selection.

After reading choc_guy's statement i feel that great lakes inform you (through post) only if you are selected.

i dont think they inform you if you are put on hold. may be towards the end when u r finally selected or rejected thay may send u a letter.

hey pradeep.

can u tell the date when u received the offer letter
i mean how many days after u had given the GD and PI..
is it that after the first round was over at all the locations across
india that they finally gave the result or had they started giving the offer letters
simultaneoulsy as the process went on at other places

avi_15

Hi avi,

The results for the first round were declared only after the selection process got over in all cities except in Kolkata.

The offer letters were despatched as soon as the results were out while for people who were on hold or were rejected, an e mail was sent.

hi vijai

thanks for the info.i have one more query.
while the selection process is going on..i mean
before the declaration of the results..i have heard
that the students are divided into three categories

1)waiting
2)on hold +
3) on hold
4) on hold -

is this true??and after the selection process id finished.. the offer
letters are dispatched in the order mentioned above.

please clarify..

Right ppl.... I take back my arugment on the gd/pi issue. It was based on an assumption that every candidate who applied got a call, which was true last year. This year short listed candidates got a phone call or mail on the email address they gave during the registration phase. That might ring a bell or two for someone!:wow:
Hand over the reins to vijai our adm-com lad for future clarifications on admission related stuff .

on hold - 3 categories are purely for internal purposes and have no significance. so chill..

the 3 categories acc to decreasing order of chances of getting admitted are
admitted
waiting list
On HOLD
rejected

thats it..

Hi Peeyush,

Though you have a solid work exp, I feel that your academic performance and your CAT score may pull you down.

So, I suggest you think twice before applying.

Am not discouraging you, but giving my honest opinion.
