Hi,
I thank you for your interest in SIBM. Regarding your query, we are unable to consider applications from students who have not completed their graduations ina full-time mode as per our current policy.

Regards,
Pranab.


People with graduation from IGNOU ( correspondence) are not eligible for MBA from SIBM!!
do you not think that they managed their study and job simultaneously ? so more hardworking than the others .
why you have such criteria for selection??

Hi Kavita,
I thank you for your interest in SIBM. There will be a minimum cutoff marks for each section this year to get a call. From June2008 SIBM is shifting to our campus at Lavale and there will be hostel facilities for all students. As far as work ex in BPO industry is concerned you will have to convince the interview panel on the suitability of this experience for an MBA graduate.

Pranab.

Hi Prof ,

Wat I understand is SIBM shall have sectional cutoffs this year .Does tht men students shd devote almost equal amount of time on all sections ??

My apprehension is tht none of the snap colleges ever had sectional cutoffs and even this year only SIBM has so .So most of the ppl mite be tempted to take the test as an overall score and not sectional scores ;thus the sectional cutoffs may be varied by a large margin over sections .Thus someone who takes it as equal time for all sections mite end up on the loosing side(coz he shall have good sectional scores but an avg overall score) .Plz advise and also if possible can u give a tentaive curoff for sections or maybe atleast the minimum tht the cut off cud be for sections .

Hello Professor,
I want to know about the 2 seats that you have for J&K; people.Whether one needs to apply separately for them and what is the criteria for selection?
Ans also if the same cutoff is there for them or is it different?
Thanks in advance

35

Hi,
I thank you for your interest in SIBM. Since we will have cutoff for each section then my advice would be to treat each section as equally important. The time taken by each student for each section might be different.

Pranab.

Hi,
I thank you for your interest in SIBM. The J&K; migrants has to mention their status in the application form. You will have to go through the entire admission process. The cutoff may vary depending on the number of applicants in this category.

sorry sounding so vague last time.

regarding the application form:
i read in one of the interviews that the students are also judged from their application essays..(which i took as SoPs)

so cld u please tell me if ther s any essay or biosketch of any sort to be submitted at the time of applying to the institute.

if yes, as i hv already posted the form...what shld i do ?
