pgpm, Batch of 2016

Entrance Exam & Admissions

During my year i.e. 2015-16 , most of the students had a CAT score of around 95%le with few exceptions in the 86-89% le zone which I believe was mostly because of their previous profile. For GMAT the cut off was around 650.

Placements & Internship

The companies that come on campus predominantly provide roles like IT Consulting, Business Analysis and Presales with few good offers (around 20%) made in business consulting, analytics, sales and operations management. Salary will be ranging from 9-12 lakhs on an average, the highest being 35 lakhs and the lowest at 7.5

Fees & Scholarships

The total course fee during my year was 16.7 lakhs( inclusive of all amenities). I had to pay an initial sum of 70k after my selection. The remaining 16 lakhs had to be paid at one go before the start of the course. Predominant banks and financial institutions that provides loan: Avanse Credila Axis bank

Academics & Faculty

Classes will be regular and a lot of focus is given to make sure the students attend them. Most of the classes will be very interactive with a lot of case study discussions. Professors are very cooperative and easily accessible.

College Infrastructure

Library in the college is top notch and although the course can get a little bit hectic at times, the management has made sure they have enough amenities in the campus for unwinding.

Food Services & Hostel

Food although on the healthier side is a mixbag. It ll be very good on someday while for someday you might have to eat them just for the sake of eating.

Academics & Faculty

Faculty is the plus point of Great Lakes Institute of Management. Professors are the best in their subject domains. Colleges follows case study methodology so that we can work on real life situations and apply the theoretical concepts. There will be regular guest lectures from Industry leaders, live project opportunities so it is pretty much a mix of practical and theoretical knowledge
