Salil's Review

The CAT test kicked off the application procedure. The application forms may be found on the official iim website everywhere, and the application price was Rs 1500. We needed to take the exam and pass it before the deadline. That year, the threshold was 80 percentile, and I scored 89.67 , which was above the cutoff. Following that, we had a panel of 12 students participate in a case discussion. We were given a total of 20 minutes to speak about the subject. Social media a boom or bain was the chosen topic. We had a personal interview after that, and then the results were released....Read More

Summer Internship

I have filled the GLIM Chennai form just like other colleges to keep my options open. Once I got the call for Interview, I started doing my research about the GLIM. In 2012-13 Pagalguy was the most sorted portal and it has some honest reviews about the GLIM Chennai. One of the thing which had mixed review over the thread discussion is that few years back GLIM has moved its City campus to 70Km away from Chennai. But trust me this was the one of the best thing to have. So my Interview went smooth and its was mostly on My Work , My decision to go for MBA and what diversity I might bring in for the batch. Few weeks later I got the admission letter along with few other colleges I had given the Interview. But I found GLIM had 1. World class faculty 2. Guest Lecture from Industry Stalwarts 3. Best Campus 4. Low Batch size. So this all made my decision easy and I became the Great Lakers....Read More
