Queries Related To SIMS, Pune

Hi seniors,
Please tell me if we really do need to get the blue blazer to the institute? i am asking bcoz the orientation letter says "dress code:formal". It doesn't say anything about the blazer...plz a quick reply would help

hey has any1 checked the new website of SIMS...looks pretty kool though....
gr8 work guys...

Greetings to all the guys and gals who would be joining SIMS soon. I believe that batch 2010 has been asked to report to the institute on the 16th of June.
Cool....
i can remember how charged and anxious i was when i had those dates announced for my joining. Enjoy and let the feeling sink in you...its something you would cherish for life...

Ok now for some so called "GYAN"
@ dreaminfiim
well mate the deal is simple...... a laptop would be really handy especially during your "LAUNCH PAD" session.
I hope you guys have registered for the "Orientation programme and Materials", as this would be a must do.
the study material provided on the SIMS website is a MUST Read and do inculcate the habit of reading financial dailies...do it even if u can't make sense of the stuff. I all would come handy during the course. Trust ME on this.
SO getting a laptop would help u sail through the initial weeks...but as it happened in our case the institute post orientation got a COOL laptop deal in coordination with HP...well as for the Price Vs Config it was a steal...a business lappy for around 40K....so most of us having our own lappies felt a bit off..i guess we too should have waited( especially when my hard earned moola Rs 50K was now making no sense)
My take..rough it out during the "orientation session"..make use of the Comp Lab...and wait for the institute to strike a COOL lappy deal. As of when it would happen is a Question that can't be answered as of now.

@Ravs05

Well fella we guys too had the same statement "Formal Dress Code" to be read as Gentlemen: Navy Blue Suit.
Ladies: Sarees( Plain and Sober shades...no great designer wear).
Although the institute would provide all u guys with an uniform ( Navy Blue Suits)...we do have a few events which all need to attend in Formals..the uniforms get done a bit later..say two months after u guys have joined.


So ATB fellas and hope to catch up when we get back after our Summer Internship..most of my batchmates..AKA ur seniors would be back by June 1st week.So guys enjoy the Orientation session and believe ME many of the things u would be asked to do would not make sense but it does have a Value which u would understand as soon as u start attending regular classes.

Hi @ T-Bone

just a small query....;)
What about the orientation ??...how long it would be...?? Will it be as grilling as the last year...

Hi @ T-Bone

Well we had about 20 to 25 days of orientation. Now coming to the Grilling part......i guess some things are better not said or spoken about i feel let it remain a surprise (its not going to be a shock for sure!), but be rest assured that if you take it in the right spirit then it would be an experience you would cherish all your life.
And believe me when I say "the orientation" has taught many a b school grads the tricks of the trade of surviving the hectic life at a b school life.

So just relax and let things come as they come.....don't get too worried on the Orientation part.
What's more important is that you do your home work properly to be read as Study all the material provide and then once on campus just hold your fort and things would be right as rain.

hey ppl....i would like to have some clarifications regarding SIMS as i intend to apply this year

1) How is faculty both in house and visiting

2)How is infrastructure of the insti with regard to hostels and mess

3)How are the summer placements?( i feel they are very imp)

4)In terms on final placements does one get a lot of companies and profiles to choose from?

5)What is the general starting salary that one can expect post SIMS..i would prefer a median salary value rather than average salary.

6)I intend to specialize in marketing...is SIMS apt for it?

It would indeed be really helpful if the seniors or the any of the alumini could just reply to my questions as it will enable me to arrive at a correct decision.

2. Inspite of being one of the best in the league. Cut-offs are comparatively low


Thanks in Advance

What was the cut-off for Sims industry sponsored seat last year?And is there too any sectional cut-off in snap exam for sims? Thanks in advance.

There is no general category in sims. 90% seats are for defence related and 10% for industry sponsored.

I have 2 questions
1> What should be the DD amount . 1200 or 1250 . I have downloaded the form from the site . It says 1200 only for DD+ 50 for courier . So what should be the final DD amount .
2> I got a call for GD-PI last year but could not attend it . Would that affect my admission process this year also .
