I am IN for the 2009 batch. Do GLIM policies allow a person who joins on Sabattical leave from the company to pursue the course.? I have heard that some colleges do not allow students to sit in placements who have come on sabattical leave. Is this applicable for Great Lakes too??? Any Sabattical leave students in last year batch and appeared for placements? Would really appreciate if i get a reply so that i can make up my decision.
Hi there,
Great lakes allows all it students to sit for placements.Your terms with ur companies is ur personal arrangement and college does not become a party to it.
The guy seems to have some very plausible points. This casts some very serious doubts in my mind about taking a final admit or not. Also there is a news that Great Lakes will not be offering HR, OB & Strategy horizontal as a major specialization. Now this also makes me somewhat weary. Any suggestions?
Its getting hot in here... look at the comments by Great laker...and its replies...

Yes its true that HR and Strategy is now only going to offered as minor and hence kindly take an informed decision.
U r welcome to take any decision and i wish all the luck for ur future endeavors
Let me give u a piece of advice dude........if ur so much in love with that blog then subscribe it and go through it on an hourly basis. No need for attempts to hijack the issues of aspirants which they are trying to get resolved on this thread. It may as come as a surprise to u that threads on PG are supposed to be a platform where queries of aspirants are answered by current batch students and nothing more. Since its obvious that u have neither understood the objective of this and other similar threads where u will be posting this link ( as u have been doing lately! ) and nor contributing to the discussion i suggest that you showcase ur sensationalizing skills somewhere else......
Hi seniors, Seems like next and final installment is stated as 31st march in emails ppl r getting. Can u plz shed light on how this can be achieved for ppl who r planning to take loan from Indian bank (via GLIM)??

I guess u must have received the mail with details in it.......in case of any clarification u can revert back.....
As already mentioned by sum1 on forum the new dates are as follows....
Last date for sending bank loan docs ( for INDIAN BANK ) - 25th March Last date for making Final payment - 10th April
Mails will be reaching if not already reached to u ppl. Same will be updated on website today.These dates are final and sacrosanct, in no case these will be extended any further. Hence no requests about the same will be entertained.
I hope with new dates u puys now have a enough time to make an informed decision. Also once more let me mention that everybody who is making an online payment, kindly send all details along with the screen shot to admission office.
Tomorrow is the last date for selected candidates to pay 50 k and hence confirm. After that wait listed candidates status will become clear.As mentioned on the website , Wait listed candidates should be prepared to make a fast decision as they will have less time on their hand.
I hope the process is reasonably clear to ppl here...
Could seniors start providing info bout available accommodation in terms of cost (down payment, monthly) and distance from insti.
I believe we are to move into the places occupied by u guys, so start giving us the options available.
We are preparing a list of all accommodations where our current batch mates are putting up .....most which are around college only so no need 2 bother about dist. from college etc. The down payment shall be decided by landlords and may vary from flat 2 flat. In our batch it varied from 30k- 1lakh depending upon no of rooms, furnishing etc. Dnt worry as down payment gets divided among no roomies which vary from 4-6. Monthly it comes to 3-4k individually on flat rest depends on hw u wanna spend ur time ;-)
Giving list frm now wont help as it makes sense fr u ppl 2 have a look at flats. The other way cld be u can approach my batch mates in JAYCEES group at Orkut and get the details frm them......
We will be vacating our flats arnd 1st may........so arnd a week or so u need 2 put up at some near guest house or rooms.
Hey Seniors, It would b gr8 if we could clarity in terms of "attire" which is a component in the fee structure.
In terms of software, what is it that is being provided by the institute ?
The college provides a suit which is supposed 2 be worn by students on all official occasions right from events to placements. Thats the attire mentioned in the fee structure.
Softwares provided by colleges are SPSS types which will help u guys to do complex statistical operations in different projects and in ur empirical study of course!

Hi unkindmonk, thanks for taking out the time to provide so much info. And congrats on ur placement. 😃 Can you tell me what the college timings usually are like? Are all sundays working? Also, will the timings be any different the 1st one week when we will be staying away from the coll campus? Is the college going to send us any info regarding the accomodation arrangements available or do we look it up ourselves?
