Hey maniacs,It’s been over a month since i’ve joined SIIB and have begun to get the hang of things here.Let me give you a brief idea about my college.Amazing campus.The acad building is of 6 levels with the top 2 being occupied by SIIB while the other 4 are with scmhrd and scit.Girls and seniors have their hostel within the campus while the juniors of all 3 colleges have our hostel 10 minutes jog away.Now that you have a slight idea of the set up here Ill let u know about how a typical day passes at SIIB.

This is based on my personal experience. It is basically a list of things I would do given another a chance to apply again!
Also, this document is not meant to be a sure shot formula to get into a top school… It should be viewed as a list of things that you should do in order to have a decent chance of making it… In other words, not doing these things undermine your chances of making it in the best of the universities

GATE: this is the exam of basics. So there is no need of remembering lot more formulae etc. If you have the interest to learn subject then only u can get good results. Not by learning the shortcuts and formulae. Try to understand the concept behind the subject and gradually develop interest in it. If we take any previous Gate paper of any branch there is no need to remember lot more formulae, if you have the concept then you can crack it. I don’t say you need not learn a single formula; you have to remember some but not all.

I guess getting into MDI was the next best thing when compared to getting into the IIMs. Rest assured, when you land up here, you realise that MDI is definitely no less than any of the IIMS.

Before discussing about Gate or Gre let us put a question to ourselves. Why higher studies? After all what are u’r preferences? Whether money or job satisfaction or zeal for research. If u never thought in this way, now first think about all these things before you take a decision.

Well my road to Symbiosis Institute of International Business started long back when i started preparing for cat’05.But after the CAT disaster..i knew before hand that i was not going to make it anywhere..so i decided to give all the entrances available.This was especially hard since i was in my final year of BSc..but i had no other choice..one of them happened to be snap (which admittedly could have been conducted in a more proffessional way).The exam went quite well and i kept logging on to various sites and forums to figure out whch colleges to apply for and their cutoffs before finally shortlisting sibm,scmhrd and siib.i was desperate for sibm because of the dual mba factor but between scmhrd and siib i was torn between an international business degree and a college with more reputation.as i saw the cutofs of last year the predictions were 80/200 for sibm,76/200 for scmhrd and 70/200 for siib.
The day of the result was the same day as xat’06.there waas some glitch in the result site but finally the results were out and i had secured 93.50..going by the predictions i presumed i wudve made it everywhere.Then came the shockers…sibm dual mba closed at 97 while its marcom programme which i hadn’t applied for closed at 64.I was devastated.but presumed i would make scmhrd..here again a shocker..engineers and workex people with marks lower than me were shortlisted while i was conviniently rejected for having a “weak profile”.
