GLIM Gurgaon is top-notch!

Student Snaps:

Admission:

Admission here are based on CAT score as 90 percentile is enough to secure admission here. Admission process is little consuming as CAT has to be given mandatorily or GLIM Test is also there but then it is also followed by GD & PI rounds. In all there are 550 seats at GLIM and 290 of which are in our campus.

Glim gurgaon

I had scored a 90 percentile in cat and converted mdi M, iit dhanbad, fore. I choose glim after a thorough understanding of each college. To crack glim gurgaon you need to have decent cat score (north of 82) with a good overall profile. After you have been shortlisted based on your scores the next prcs is wat ( written analytical test) in which you are given an abstract topic and have to present your views on the same. After that followed by a traditional PI.

Great Lakes Gurgaon, A good way to start the corporate life

I applied to bimtech Noida and bml munjal and got shortlisted in both. I didn't get a rejection from any college as I had applied to only a few of them after getting my cmst score. The college admission process included a writing test, profile shortlist and interview.

Thrilling

Great Lakes requires a minimum aggregate of 60% in 10th, 12th, and Graduation. Profile-based calls start to roll out around the end of December. In cycle 1 most of the calls will be on profile based. In total Great Lakes have 4 cycles for the selection purpose. Great Lakes doesn't have any kind of reservation or management quota. There is a common application form for both campuses. The application form is available on their official website. This year the application fee was 2000 INR. The admission process includes 3 steps. First one in the AWT, It's a written test. They will provide topics and one has to express their thoughts and opinion on that topic. After that, there will be an interview round. After this if you get selected you will get a selection mail at the end of the cycle. Sometimes, a student can get selected at the later cycles too.
