My experience at GLIM, Chennai

The test scores accepted are CAT, XAT, CMAT and GMAT. The cut-offs of each are revised each year. The selection process also includes a GD-PI round, past academic records and work experience. The pros of the college are its faculty. It has got both foreign and Indian faculty. The campus is one of the most beautiful campuses in India. It offers a management degree in many disciplines including AI and Machine learning. The cons are not very significant and I found the college to be very decent. I referred to the college's website and collegedunia for selecting the institute. There is no lie if I say I found the reviews of collegedunia more objective and directional than the college website as it had a bunch of information.

The exams are held on a trimester basis. Each term has a mid-term and an end-term exam. The faculty here include Indian and International faculty, visiting faculty who are acclaimed academicians, researchers and experts from industry. The student-faculty ratio is 20:1.

The campus is immensely large and scenic. It has got many recreational facilities. The campus is wi-fi enabled. The student committees are a total of 20 in number to name a few - CieCOM, Fincom, Karma Yoga, Green Committee etc.

The topic of my GD round was 'Alcohol Ban in India/States. I was against the motion. The GD was held among 10 candidates. It was well structured and the rules were made clear at the beginning itself. The PI questions included the reason for my poor performance in the class 10th examination, my hobbies and my family background.
