Symbiosis International Pune Answered Questions

Hi Sunita,
The waiting list is in queue. Once the other 112 are allotted the colleges your turn will come. But remember it's not necessary that you only get Hyderabad because if the other students go for other colleges then your number might shift and you might either get in fourth or fifth list of Pune, or 1st, second list of Noida or Hyderabad.

Hi Leena,
SIBM-Pune offers a better brand value for MBA and our executive programme is an intensive programme for people with work experience. The industry connect programme structure and expert perspectives make SIBM-Pune a better choice for pursuing executive MBA.

Do not go for any specific book for mass communication. You can get the latest editions of general knowledge books to keep you update, but in my opinion, internet and newspapers are the best things to read. Read and read is the best option you have.
Mass comm entrances are tough at places. You need to update yourself with the current happenings of the entire world. This is a tough job though. Just go through all the updates and stuff like stories. Don't think that you are preparing for some heavy entrance exam.
I too have cracked my mass comm entrances in this way.
