no problems continuing withthis thread as it is its almost dead........what difference would it anyways make.............apart frm making it a little more authentic as it would a thread by XISS students.
by the way Sabrina in case u get in touch with others on Orkut why not ask folks to join PG; i guess quite a few of them are not membes of PG

Tata Institute of Social Sciences and National Entrepreneurship Network (NEN)


presents
ANKUR -the Entrepreneurship Challenge@Manthan 2008.

ANKUR The Entrepreneurship Challenge-Dare to Dream the Dream of Development!

Featuring in Manthan for the first time, the Entrepreneurship Event happening in collaboration with NEN, is a contest with a vision. The Event is being held with an idea to support and encourage the young entrepreneurs in India. Keeping in mind the countrys current needs, Ankur this year stands for - Think Profit, Foster Development. Entrepreneurship has always led transformation in society by generating innovative
ideas and implementing them pragmatically. Today, as India enters the new
phase of development ,the challenges are not only for the industrial but also for the social sector.
ANKUR plans to question the new breed of Entrepreneurs on whether their venture plans can cater to the issues of development in India. It calls for the Challengers to apply market-based approach to an enterprise/venture in order to positively impact the Bottom of the Pyramid.
Participants are expected to send in their venture plan based on the above mentioned theme. To mentor the shortlisted teams, a two day Boot Camp (Prerna) would be conducted in TISS Campus two weeks prior to the final event. Here, a panel of experts will mentor the participants and help them improvise their plans. The final presentations would be on the first day of Manthan that is 18th of September 2008.

Phase I: Prayaas: This phase will call for entries from budding entrepreneurs across Management and other institutions in the country. These entries would essentially be business plans with focus on addressing developmental issues in India. Through an initial screening process, top 5 entries would be chosen. The top entries will proceed to the Phase II and III (non elimination)

Phase II: Prerna - The Boot Camp: This phase will provide the top 5 entries from Prayaas a common platform to interact with each other and experts from the field of Entrepreneurship and Business. The aim of Prerna is to provide mentorship to the short-listed teams. This phase would provide valuable business/entrepreneurial insights to the participants, which would go a long way in nurturing the entrepreneur in them.

Phase III: Prarambh: This phase is a queer name for the final round of an event, but there is reason why the name is as it is. The event will mark an end to the competition, but will mark the beginning of a journey. The presentations of the ideas along with implementation plan will be adjudicated by the judges from the sponsoring organization, academia, experienced entrepreneurs and business personalities.
The journey of entrepreneur-ship shall sail from hereon....

well indu i'm not subodh but as a student of XISS i think u wouldn't mind me answering the question.

1st of all XISS offers no course as PGBM but in fact seperate courses for Marketing,Finance,Personnel Management, Rural Development and Information Management......that is to say 4 2 year fulltime courses. there are a couple of 1 year programmes....primarily 4 people with work-ex .
the cut-off is normally kept very low(30%tile) but the admissions happen at a much higher rate.4 marketing this year (08-10) u can safely assume 60%tile to be pretty comfortable at getting thru.:|

is there any procedure for backdoor entry in XISS RANCHI.. i myself is a guy frm jamshedpur studying in bangalore.. do lemme know if at all there is any mode of admission in xiss along with xat entrance n donation mode..

Dear All,

I am an Xiss Aspirant
I am trying to contact the adm office for the admission form no reply for the whole day, would be appearing for XAT 2009.
