till now around 80 have been placed..still around 40 remain..the 2nd phase is expected to gain momentum by march 1st week. the people remaining unplaced have very specific requirements and hence its not possible for getting all companies to come on a sme day. for eg: some students got roles in audit firms but did not take it up as they wanted a corp finance role. will update u guyz once we reach the 3 digit mark

i guess most of the freshers are placed..we have around 18 freshers.. if i am not wrong 3-4 remain.. freshers salaries have ranged between 4.5lpa( take home component including tax) to 7.5 lpa.. on a average a fresher has been able to get anything between 5.5 -6 lpa.

my friend appeared for GD/PI on 18th feb. He got a mail saying he is on hold. When I called admissions, I was told that he is on waiting list. Is there any diff btwn the two. What are the chances of getting admissions if one is on hold. How many persons are on hold/waiting list on an average. Any light on this pls!!Thanks...

i would advice you to go through the thread before asking the same question..anyways i will repeat it..
after attending the GD/PI a candidate's status will be a) Selected b) waiting list c) On hold
Selected - Congrats !! you are given an admit!!
waiting list has higher priority over hold candidates and means that you have a better chance of getting an admit over a hold candidate.
the process is like this..
some candidates who are selected might not accept as they might have other options or might have to pull out due to personal reasons. in that case the priority next goes to wait list candidates . after the wait list is exhausted and still some seats need to be filled then the hold candidates get a chance.
hope this is clear...
to put it mathematically
Probability ( waitlist candidate getting a final admit) > Probability ( Hold candidate getting a final admit)....
its just a system to sort candidates by performance in their GD/PI..
I am not aware of the statistics of how many people are on WL or hold status..that varies according to numberof candidates and the performance by applicants in GD/PI on the particular day...

see, there is still a confusion as to whether you guyz will be put up in this campus or a new one.. so i cannot really comment..in case u guyz are still holed up in the existing campus, no need to worry, its a very good residential locality and around 80 of us are staying nearby.. on average assuming that we are talking abt shared rental costs it can vary from 1200 - 2000 per head.. within 5k i think u can manage all expenses including petrol unless u decide to go on weekly hikes..
In case if its gonna be a new campus not too sure, somewhere in perungudi u ppl might be put up..lets see how things how things work out..
When should we be expecting a decision on the same...i mean shifting of the building! And how far is the present building from the City Bus Stand -- and what are the modes of commutation available!
Considering the one year structure of the program, are we supposed to do an industrial project along side studies, or do we have some break in between to continue the same. If in case such a project isnt a part of curriculum, does Great Lakes arrange for a similar project if the candidate is interested in doing so!

when will the decision be taken..hmmm..i am not the deciding authority , jokes apart its the mgmt's decision so no clue..
city bus stand..are u referring to koyambedu?? it is approx 5-6 kms from koyambedu.. btw the college is pretty much in the heart of the city so plying from one corner to other should not be a problem..
yup u r supposed to do 2 industrial projects along with your course studies..the college will arrange for it..no issues..i guess in fact for your batch , projects will be of utmost importance..so no worries.. u all will have to slog off during projects..and yeah, the project is a part of the curriculum , in fact each project carries 3 credits..
you dont get a break for the project and you do it simultaneously with your course, so the scope gets a bit limited, but those are trade offs of a 1 year course..
Yes!!! I too got the admin, Had my GD/PI on 18th at chennai and got the letter today itself. I Came to know about Great Lakes only about 10 days back and got all the formalites done within such short span thanks to VIJAY for his invaluable inputs.

Yes we must have met and I will recognize you if we meet again, just not very sure about name. are u the same guy who instructed us before GET ? Won't be able to attened any session b'coz I am in HYD.
I am having three options 1 Continue with the job. 2 SPJCM (GD/PI this sat.) ???? 3 Great Lakes. 😃
3rd One seems the best but SPJ has a great brand name.. What's the junta ki awaaz. If you think this is not the right ques. to ask in the thread just mail me ur views at my ID. I am a bit skeptical just because I came to know about GLAKES only few days back and quitting a job is some decision to make. and yes who else from this weeks batch got the admin. Jagannath, Mahesh, Sharanya, Vidhya??

the above reply was a ctrl-c ctrl-v of a post of another 2007 batch great laker. this was just to convey the yahoo ID..u seem to have been totally confused..
and i am not the person who instructed you before GET a case of mistaken identity i guess.. and i am a current great lakes student so i dont really know who all applied and who all got thru..
see the choice is yours... u need to do a lot of research abt the insti and decide what you want to do..
i can see from your number of posts that you have been a newcomer in PG. so i would suggest you to go thru both the current active Great lakes threads and then make up your mind..
reg SPJ dubai there is also a active thread in PG which should give you sufficient information..

1.5 Yrs with Satyam just like you with TCS B-Tech Computer Sci. Cat score 83% this yr 2003 was better but they don't accept such old scores so I took GET. acads: not great in school but decent overall. GD was OK, was sitting in the corner was sidelined for some time by others but came back. PI was good. Where r u with your admin application?
