Hi Folks, Frst of all thnx to sonal for having acknowledged the effort that i put in......nice to know that pple appreciate it...... anywaz i hope the entire idea of dependents has been cleared out.....it just means that either ur parents shld be in the defence services or if they are retired then they shld be receiving a pension.......apart from that if u have wrk exp that sure helps u as u get that extra edge from the fresher crowd.......thats it...... Ya it was quite a suprise to see the SIBM cut off go so high.....so apparently majority of pple have done better than we anticipated.....well as for SIMS well i am pretty sure that anyone with a score in excess of 60 should be carefree as he will definitely get a call from SIMS.....as for the rest just keep ur fingers crossed.....like somebody said 16th is not that far away.....we'll know in a few days...... but i still feel that the cut off will not be more than 55......thats my personal opinion though.....lets see what finally happens...... alll the best people....... cheers Akshay:

keep pouring in guys..its getting better n better... BRAVO...!!
Hi guys, Now with such high scoring going around all the focus has shifted towards SIMS. Reasons - -People with low scores still have a chance here.(cut off at any cost wont b more than 60). -Its only for defence dependents so less competition. -It has best infrastructure amongst all simbi schools.It boast of WI-FI campus which no other simbi school talks about. -Less no of seats hence decent placements assured.(One of alumni ,I met said that last year they had average salary of 4.2) and I am sure this year it would go up. Weaknessses- -Not well known in the job market ,I feel it has lost in SIMBI jungle(It desperately needs to do branding) -Not very student friendly website , u simply cant get any info frm there and besides that they have designed it so badly (that black color sucks) . -No whereabouts of SIMS students.Not even a single student has come forward to help us. -No placements stats for current year or in that matter any year. -Alumni strength not revealed. NOW HOW TO EVALUATE SIMS,CAN ANYONE LET ME KNOW WAT PARAMETERS SHOULD WE CONSIDER. ALL SAID AND DONE ,I AM STILL GONNA APPLY COZ I AM TRUSTING THIS INSTITUTE. REGARDS, ROCKY.
Analysis about SIMS most informative, though my concerns are more in relation to the cut-offs , god i'm screwed if the cut-off goes above 55. So pray guys,( of course not for those who have phenomenol scores ,which means everybody but me). But really ny guys from SIMS please enlighten us about your experiences .
hi......recos from what i knw is usually to refer to recommendations......quite possible HRD guys r askin fr it...cos a few colleges do ask for it...not a norm in india but ya abroad colleges have this mandatory requirement of getting 2 references/recos.........it gr8 to have a sims thread...hope some senior logs in and throws more lite on the next round f prep...........centre change..thats possible sonal...a friend f mine gt it done....only thing u gotta inform them before the 16(the day they r apparently releasing their shrtlist) and they l tell u the procedure to get it changed....
hey..rocky,sidhhant and phikap.. got great info from u guys ..thanks.. so "recos..recommendation"... not required..or is it essential... also let me tell u..SIMS..or any symbi institute.. the name "symbiosis" itself sells man... it ROCKS!! just pray to god ..work well and get thru.. we all should be there..placements will follow!! i have started studying my academics..my civil engineering books.. i tell u ..its was tough that time in college.. its even tougher to sit and look into the books all over again!! what say people..they do ask u to talk on one of ur subjects of graduation...!! and by the way where is akshay sharma today.. no posts??c'mon guide us... keep writing guys...
o is it do they really ask grad subjects..... i heard its more f a genral intv...like why mba n stuff....(a friend f mine appeared last yr n thats what he had to tell me)...but i guess it can vary from person to person.....so if we have an insight from smone who has give the intvs before wud b a gr8 help.....
i really hope they dnt ask grad subjects....i dnt remember any:(
Hey people, Guys rite now how to go through the interview is the least of my concerns (bad score and all) but never the less i sure hope they don't grill me on any BCom stuff(me final yr BCOM) cuz trying to answer why something is debited in one account and credited in some other account can be quite frustrating especially when u have no idea exactly which godforsaken account have these people chosen, good god, i am neither an academic god nor an experienced baby manager so i'm in trouble even if i get the call, gr8 just gr8, why couldn't i be simple doc as i wanted to, oh wait, i couldn't clear the PMT, that's why. swell just real swell. I HATE ENTRANCE TESTS!!!!!!!!!
Hi, so a lot of activity goin on the thread....gud going fellas but i would seriously feel more content if we just had a few seniors putting in a few inputs to help us out....... anyways,ya its my 2nd time and i'll be rather glad to share my experience of the frst time when i went for the SIMS interview.......let me tell you that atleast last year it was quite a mismanged affair and one got the feeling that the entire process was being done just to get over with a formality....mind u i'm strictly talking about the interview process conducted here in delhi....... we were called in batches of 50......at 9am in the morning and by the time we got over with the process it was abt 3 pm and in the entire while each one just spent abt 10 mts in the gd.....and max 10 mts each in each of the 2 interviews.....the rest of the time we were just waiting...... anyways, we first had an introductory session where we were shown slides of the college...after which we were divided in groups of 10......then we had a case study....obviously none of my group mates had ever been to any of the coaching classes cz it really really showed.....i mean it was just a fish market and no one was talking sense let alone going in a right and organised manner....anywz got over with that......then we had a different panel for our first interview in which they were happy not asking any questions......and they seemed hardly interested......anywz i was asked to comment on snap, the exam.....as last year was the frst time it was conducted......then the usual why do u want to do ur mba.....and why should we select you....and again they were happy with watever answer u gave them and seemed least interested in what u were saying..... in any case got over with that too and then we were taken to another completely different panel for our next round of interview where i was asked a lil tech questions.....i am an engg btw.........and then stupid questions like do u know who shivaji is.....??? i really wonder till date where that came from....... it was just a 5 mts affair....they seemed really tired...... in a nutshell.....the entire process when compared with the other gd/pi's that i had for other instt seemed really bad......considering the fact that its an instt for the defence..... and i really don't think that they wanted to asses anything so plzz guys make sure that this time arnd when you go don't wait for them to ask questions ....jst tell them anything and everything that you think will prove to be advantageous......... well that was my experience last time.....really hope that its better this time..... having said that i still agree to the fact that SIMS is really a very good backup option....cz as somebody mentioned cz the Symbi name sells...it got amazing infrastructure...and ya its good very good placements.......... ao all the best pple......calls will be out in a few days time........ btw we got a case study in out GD incase i haven't alreday mentioned that earlier.... cheers Akshay
i sincerely hope we get thru as sonal said........ well any idea of the gd pi dates in the various cities....any idea of dates f delhi... cant find them stated anywhere.....
