same here. Already converted GIM and planning to join. and results wont come out before 10th june(my college starts then):lookround:, i guess, so i think i wud let it go. The only think that is making me feel bad is that i wanted to do a specialised HR programme!
But then u cant have everything!:drinking::drinking:

@ Chulbulee :
PPl like me who are in Waitlist (a higher one, so low chance of converting) of XIMB Core program have received confirmed letters from XIMB for HRM program specifying that we will be given confirmed admissions in XIMB HR program if we r interested. So it depends on how many of the waitlisted candidates are interested in HRM program, how many actually go for it, and how many seats are available. Ur selection would depend on that. But still u can always ask the admissions dept about ur query and still retain ur GIM Convert if possible.

@ gargivaish
Nope I m not interested to pursue HRM...!! So I m not at all accepting the offer..!! 😃 I hope this might bring a ray of hope for u ppl who wnt to pursue HR..!! I dont know the exact no of calls given to HRM but do know that many of those who are waitlisted for BM program are given confirmed admissions if they are interested..!! Follow the XIMB PGDM thread and u might get to know the exact number of calls..!! Also its a bit unclear abt HR specialization for Core students..!! Those who wish to opt for HR frm Core program will they be allowed or not..!! no idea abt it..!! Which program of NM are u waitlisted for?
I guess all those who are interested should atleast give a shot for GDPI..!! Coz u never know if converted, u might be pursuing HRM from XIMB...!!!

plz people...some serious advice is required related to pgdm hrm programme of ximb....Is it worth taking admissions into it as its the first batch? Is there any guarantee of proper and good placements for this programme...???

hi guys, I am waitlisted for PGDM and have not yet received any mail for HRM. .. I can see lot of you have queries. Will offer my two bits:
See its going to be the same HRM teachers who teach the PGDM core course .Subjects like Organizational behaviour etc will also be taught in both courses and I am sure by the very same teachers.. Course wise and pedagogy should be similar.. Wouldnt have a clue about placements though.. Why dont you guys have a talk with some teacher from XIM.. m sure they will definitely help you out.
Be sure that you want to opt for HRM though because at the end of the day its your career.
