    College Infrastructure

    The college has all the necessary infrastructure, facilities and equipment. The classrooms are well structured, WiFi available everywhere. Everything is clean and the housekeeping staff is always available.

    Academics

    The professors are amazing and they know what they're talking about. All the lectures are well planned and presented we'll. The curriculum is very pragmatic and focused on making managers instead of just teaching theory.

    Placements

    Placements have been fairly average. Market conditions haven't been well but the placement cell seems confident. Will update later. The average salary last year was around 16LPA which was expected to rise. Let's see.

    Value for Money

    PGDM Course costs 20 Lakhs and according to me it's worth the price given our living conditions and the facilities provided. Life is fun in the campus and it seems pretty much worth the price. Guest lectures and company officials visiting the campus makes it worth the price.

    Campus Life

    The campus is lively with cheerful faces and happy minds with same intention of networking and building themselves. The young budding minds are energetic which makes life in campus more happy and filled with knowledge.

    Overwhelming and Exciting.

    College Infrastructure

    Our Campus is well furnished, and the infrastructure is well maintained. The classrooms are equipped with technologically advanced systems which make the learning environment interesting and insightful. The entire campus is connected to WIFi systems. The campus is cleaned on a regular basis and is very much hygienic. The only short coming being that the campus infrastructure is quite old and does require some construction work.

    Academics

    I am quite satisfied with the teaching faculty here at Great Lakes, they have all got their unique method of teaching concepts, making things easier and interesting to learn and comprehend. Although there are certain faculties that are not upto the standard expected and required.

    Placements

    The college is renowned for its 100% placements. The process so far has been very smooth and we are hoping to get good numbers placed as early as possible. Though there have been certain companies that have backed out from the recruitment process.

    Value for Money

    The fee for one year is around Rs. 10 Lakhs. Given the facilities provided to us and the learning opportunities that we have been exposed to, it feels like that it has been worth the expense so far.

    Campus Life

    The campus life so far has been quite enthralling and enjoyable, having made good friends it has been quite a fun experience. We have a dedicated sports and gym arena where we can spend time playing and having fun with our peers.

    Others

    Overall, it has been a great experience so far, with a lot of new learnings and insightful communications with people around me and I look forward to developing a great network of people.

    Experience at GLIM

    College Infrastructure

    Our college has all the necessary infrastructure, facilities and equipment as far as I am aware. We have multiple classroom, a library, gym, sports room, badminton courts and a tennis court. It is a very well maintained campus.

    Academics

    I think MBA is a very practical course which equips you with all the necessary skills required for a modern industry professional. In the classes, we not only theory but also ways in which we can apply that theory in a practical scenario.

    Placements

    Internship placement are average. I expected a bit more in terms of average stipend which is around 30000 per month. Before joining i expected this figure to be double that what it is. But some big companies do come to the campus.

    It has been good so far.

    College Infrastructure

    We have a sports room, library, football ground, badminton courts etc etc. Classrooms are very clean and hygienic. The are are a lot of living spaces which are clean and hygienic. Our hostel rooms are very clean and hygienic, much better than i expected. Our mess food is good and is probably better than what students of most colleges get. We have a gym that is well maintained and has all the necessary equipments and tools. We have a huge campus and wifi connectivity is everywhere .

    Academics

    The quality of teachers is very high. They are very friendly and reachable. Their style of teaching is very unique and effective. They teach from the very ground level so that we understand each and every complex topic that comes our way.

    Placements

    Placements are average but big companies do come. Highest internship package was 2 lacs for two months but most companies are offering around 60000 for two months. We expected that the average stipend for internship would be around 80000 per month but that was not the case.

    Value for Money

    Course is costly @ 20 lacs. As I am a new comer I can't really have a constructive opinion but I think I will have my money's worth at the end of the two years that I will spend at great lakes institute of management.

    Campus Life

    Campus Life is very good. We celebrate almost all festivals and students are very diverse. We celebrate janmashtami, durga puja, Ganesh chaturthi and many others. The location of the campus is a bit remote.

    Overall a good experience with lots of learning.

    College Infrastructure

    The infrastructure is good and very well maintained. The classroom, libraries and hostels are well equipped, but sometimes there is a shortage of sports equipment. The only thing that's missing is a pharmacy with adequate supply of medicines.

    Academics

    The quality of teaching has been very good so far, with almost all faculties having indepth subject knowledge and the course being up to date. We do have open book examination so there is less focus on memorizing and more focus on understanding the concept. The knowledge makes us job ready.

    Placements

    The quality of placements is increasing each year. This year it has been a little slow but we are still seeing companies coming with good packages. 3 months into the course and 25% of the batch is placed for summer internships

    Value for Money

    Although the course is value for money, it is expensive.

    Campus Life

    We celebrate every festival and there are many activities and competitions to participate in. The campus is very safe and there are no timing restrictions within the campus. The campus is on the outskirts of chennai city, so there aren't many things around and there can be a delay in handling emergencies.

    Others

    A would recommend the college. For a better experience get your own vehicle as the transport is very expensive outside college. Overall the faculty and placement is good.

    Have a question related to Great Lakes Chennai (GLIM) ?

    Hi Aspirant,

    Hope you are doing great.

    You have scored pretty well in CAT but still, great lakes put too much emphasis on your past academic performance. Your 10th and 12th marks are decent but the low performance in graduation can restrict your call from this college. Generally, the cut off of this college revolves around 85 percentile in CAT. So, there are some chances that you might get a call from this college at 89.90 percentile.


    All the best.


    Hii there! Hope you are doing good.
