Now today our STARATEGY course came to an end, and general feel is the course was good and analysis was mind blowing.

Yeah Blore being the city of pubs, the unkindmonk will have to slog out, though it remains to be seen as in where.
Incidently me n unkindmonk are doin intership at the same company. So i'll keep a tab on him. 
With our core courses of MBA coming to an end today, we are 1/2 MBAs now. Phew, wat a feeling man. The learning curve over the last 5 months has been amazing here and guess what, the best is yet to come. We will march into our specializations, when we report back to the campus on 12 Nov. Most of the courses in specialization is primarily conducted by some of the internationally acclaimed profs. Boy, I spent 4 hours yday to get my 19 electives right out of the 54 courses offered. As they say, it is easy to select between the good and the bad but really tough to select the best out of the best.
Will keep u updated.
Cheers,
Bhaski.
Well there has been some time since my last post but as i mentioned earlier at the time of internship it is always going to b tough!
The campus must b empty as all of us have left for our intrenships as since its early days yet not a lot of info has trickled in........as in when it happens yours truely will post abt it
As for my intersnhsip goes.....ri8 nw i am tryng 2 understnd the landscape of the prdt which i have been allotted......soon thngs will heat up and then its gng to a different ball game altogether!
I shall obviosly infrm u puys abt it......till then
Tke care fellas!

What are the companies that have accepted interns from Glakes?
hi glakers,
I have work ex - of 8 yrs in industrial sales in a MNC with 66% in my engg. and a GMAT score of 660. My question is very candid, is GLIMS is a better bet for my kind of work ex. ??Also let me know if u have any valuble inputs abt GLAKES let me know abt that.
Firstly I wld like to apologise for the late response.
As far as ur questn is concerned , Great Lakes is a gud bet for following reasons
1) In terms of academic learning you will be taught by the best faculties not jst in India bt frm acrss the world
2) Since your batchmates will come from different industries, peer learning at Great Lakes will be second to none
3) At the time of placament, you will have many alternatives if you decide to go for career shift as unlike other b schools everybody has a prior industry exposure.
4) One more aspect which a working professional needs to conisder is Opportunity cost.
Fees of MBA program + Salary which u would miss out during the course of course
All lot of big brands fail to clear this simple equation and Great Lakes is a big winner in this regard.
Yes we dont have a lush campus or a five star staying accomodation, but we provide the essentials which makes up for a solid MBA programme.
Lastly if u c our batch profile then u will knw tht quite a few guys are in between 6-12 yrs of wrk exp. These guys were at senior posts in big companies. The fact that they are here is not by chance but through carefull calculation and assesement of all the choices available to them.
I hope i have answered your queries, however in case of any ambivalence kindly revert back.
Regards
