Hi Sasidhar,
Awesome to see u here mate....Great initiative, thanks for starting this thread. Just an advice from a veteran PUMBA Pagalguy....plz dun post ur personal mail id on PG forums...its against the forum rules. U cud always send the personal id frm private message
. Carry on with ur work and expect all support frm fellow PUMBAITES.....All the bestCheers
I just attained Nirvana......I realised death is inevitable but I would continue to live forever as a PROUD PUMBAITE
hie man glad to see a thread from this coll coming up ...
keep it updated... ive got a few specific Queries:
- when is the entrance conducted?
- is the date to fill the forms still on?
- no. of seats & any quota mess involved in selection?
- what is the placement statistics... mean, median, highest n lowest..?
- what kind of companies are approaching u?
Following are the details of the course in a nut shell:
1. One needs to appear for ATMA exam. This year test was held on Sunday February 11, 2007. For details visit http://www.atma-aims.org/atma.htm
2. With the ATMA score, You need to apply to the MBA Biotech program, PUMBA, Univ. of Pune. You need to appear for gdpi and final cumulative score is used for ranking. As on today - there are 30 seats for open, 30 are reserved. The break up of the reserved seats is given in the prospectus. For details http://pumba.unipune.ernet.in/
3. To be precise, the course is tailor made to meet the needs of the Biotech / Pharma sector. It is shade different from the MBA Pharma offered by some institutes. Since the industry is beginning to bloom, potential of job market is just unfolding.
word of caution: Dont expect pay packages comparable to their general MBA counterparts. Pay packages are increasing year after year. But this course offers a very lucrative exit option to the science graduates, with salaries far higher than anything else offered to a traditional science graduate.

Sasidhar

Dear All GD PI aspirants,
Congratulations on your ATMA scores. The mantra to crack GDPI at PUMBA is simple and lies basically in your ability to speak eloquently on any topic under the sun. A basic awareness about current issues will be beneficial. Mock GDPI should serve the purpose. Wishing you all the very best for the preparations.

Good stuff Sasi,
Just to add on....the entire GD/PI process is conducted at the PUMBA campus. There is a gud mix of people within and outside the biotech industry.
Expect questions like-
1) Why MBA BT?
2) What do u comprehend in the Bio-Technology sector
3) U r favourite Biotech company
4) U r take on events and recent news in Biotech industry
5) Recent changes in the Budget which can impact the biotech industry...ur comments?
All the best
Cheers
Honestly there is nothing like hard and fast rule to predict cut off. U must appreciate that ATMA is all India test and is accepted by many B schools. If U happened to score 99 % and they are more than 50 students who scored more than 99% and coin dentally all these 50 apply to PUMBA BT. Then even a score of 99% can be a tough score to squeeze with, into PUMBA unless and until you have a reservation to back it as there are just 30 seats in open category. But, If none of these 50 apply to this, then ur entry is a certainty.
Bear one thing in mind that you must come to GDPI well prepared. When I say well prepared, I mean guessing most probable questions and coming with ready made answers. Rest of things like cut offs are just speculations.
For the moment just relax and watch our boys get tensed in Caribbean islands....to get cup.

I can tell a million things about the course but what matters is your expectation and vision about where you want to see yourself 10 yrs down the line. U can pick any standard magazine like biospectrum, pharmabiz and read extensively about this sector. I guess you don't want to blame anyone for your career choice. So, Pls read and make a judicious decision.
