...new for students of Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad, but declining the highest offers ever made in the institute has raised more than a few eyebrows. Two of the six second-year post-graduate programme students of IIM-Ahmedabad who were offered the position of associates by Deutsche Bank, declined it despite their salaries, in rupee terms, was more than Rs 1 crore. Debashish Chakravarty, one of the two students who refused the offer said, "I declined the offer because I wanted to be on my own." The challenge of entrepreneurship was more exciting for him than taking up a cushy job. "Three other classmates and I have planned to start our own business. We plan to start production and retailing of women's lingerie," said Chakravarty, who was serving in the Army before taking voluntary retirement. Vineeta Singh, who too rejected the Deutsche Bank offer will be joining Chakravarty, along with Bhushan Dabir and Vishal Prabhu Khan-olkar. "We did a detailed market research on women's lingerie and found huge customer dissatisfaction. We have a business plan ready," said Chakravarty. "The financing of the project is being negotiated with venture capitalists and if everything goes as per plan we hope to be in the market with our product by next year," Chakravarty said.

...technology to tasks. I will attempt to identify which asynchronous (different-time) or synchronous (same-time) communication technology I would recommend in the two situations given below and why. In the first situation, a virtual team has team members situated in different time zones. The team is not aware of the latest trends in communication technology. In the second, a virtual team has members in different locations in the same time zone, such as New York and Washington, DC. The team is aware of the latest trends in communication technology. Duarte and Tennant Snyder (2006) use the term groupware to describe the entire category of electronic options available to a virtual team. It is a broad term that refers to electronic systems that integrate software (SW) and hardware (HW) to enable communication and collaborative work. The most commonly used groupware today is e-mail (e.g. MS Outlook) and instant messaging (e.g. DCO chat, jabber). E-mail is the best understood technology for distance collaboration. It can track responses, broadcast the same message to virtual team members, forward copies to leadership and project stakeholders and seen also as a permanent written record of discussion, unlike video teleconferencing (VTC). Asynchronous groupware includes e-mail, personal computing devices, group calendars and schedules, bulletin boards, team web sites, non-real-time database (db) sharing and conferencing, and workflow applications (Durate &Tennant Snyder...

...The decline in the number of CAT-takers continued as this year saw around 1.85L students appearing for CAT 2011, a significant drop (Ref. graph) from CAT 2010. Put this in perspective, this number also includes the JMET applicants who would have applied for the IIT-SOMs. Looking at this trend I can’t help but think about the future of CAT and consequently about the applicants for IIMs. CAT has lost its claws – Like it or not! With the new format and the blunders of CAT 2009, all has been ensured that CAT loses its edginess and is no longer one of the most ‘feared’ examinations around. The hype did contribute to no. of applications. But the age of hype is over. Vendors have messed up and been shuffled around. The online CAT is still evolving and nowhere close to the GMAT pattern that it so miserably tries to emulate. It is no longer a pencil-paper test and draws only crowds from metros (close to 70%) with reports suggesting that an online CAT repels students from smaller towns and villages. Adding to the misery is the fact that acing the CAT doesn’t guarantee you squat. You could make headlines for being a 100 percentile-guy, but pray to God that you don’t make another headline that says, “Now, IIMs don’t even want their100-percentile guys”. Students will slowly understand this complication and steer away from CAT if such a trend continues. In such an event, I won’t be surprised when there comes a day when there aren’t even 1 lakh students to write the CAT. Outcome – CAT...

...Indian Institute of Management Rohtak (IIM-R) Admission Policy 2015© This document summarizes the approach of IIM Rohtak to preparing the Admission List for its 6 th PGP Batch (2015-17) (The approximate batch size is 150-160). IIM Rohtak (IIM-R) reserves the right to modify any part of this document including the various criteria and cut offs mentioned at any time till the actual admission process for the batch is completed. The basic objective of IIM-R’s admission process is to identify meritorious candidates for admission under each category of admission, viz., General, OBC, SC, ST and PWD/DAP. While merit is the prime consideration, the Institute recognizes a possibility of skewed student structure in favour of male gender and engineering and related subjects at graduation in the normal course. Hence, it strives to ensure a better balance in opportunities among different subject streams and genders. It is also part of IIM Rohtak’s approach to duly recognize academic consistency and industrial experience. The admission process of IIM-R consists of (a) CAT, (b) shortlisting for Personal Appearance (PA) process, (c) conducting the PA process composed of Personal Interview (PI) and Written Analysis (WA) as well as any other component to be decided, and (d) preparing the Final Selection List (FSL) based on CAT score, PA score and profile score including Work Experience (WE) score as assessed during the PA process, score for Past Academic Performance (PAP) and any other criterion...

...CAMPUS CONNECT JULY 2015 #CHIEF SPEAK Dear Friends, Airtel as an organization is living through its most exciting phase in recent times. The Airtel vision of “hunger to win customers for life” has unleashed so much excitement and passion amongst our 20,000+ employees in India, South Asia and Africa. Central to this vision is our pillar of ‘winning with people’, and we are looking at more and more ways to build a culture and capabilities that support high performance. The telecom industry is intensely dynamic and fiercely competitive, and as it continually evolves and becomes more complex, it is imperative for our people to get both ‘depth’ and ‘breadth’ of experience. What gives our people energy is the fact that they get to do jobs that have never been done before. Our Young Leaders, who join us right out of business schools like yours, are given surprisingly large amounts of responsibility. And to realize all the space and opportunity that we promise, we’re careful in planning their first 12 months to ensure exposure within and beyond their primary function, guidance, plenty of interactions with business heads, and lots of opportunities to assimilate culture, people, the organization and folklore! We’ve just seen a batch of bright B-school interns join us over the summer, some of whom will return to Airtel once they graduate. This edition of Campus Connect will give you a glimpse of their experiences. As we scale up to...
