PGDM applicants are evaluated based on GMAT/CAT/XAT/CMAT scores, past academic performance, essays, work experience (if any) and performance in the personal interview. The selection process builds in a criterion that facilitates evaluating each applicant on Academic Abilities, Standardized Test Scores, Rank Holders, Integrity & Ethical Values and Diversity of Background. At Great Lakes, we do not have fixed cut-offs, we try to evaluate candidates in a holistic manner. We consider the complete profile, so while the test scores are important, we emphasize more on selecting well-rounded candidates with a strong overall track record.

Hi Roopa,

The Management schools conduct extra-curricular activities or college trips so that the students learn to interact with each other and understand the importance of working or being together as a team. And beyond all of this, going out with friends gives you a sense of refreshment which is really important when you have a tight academic schedule and have no time to relax. You can always opt not to go on this kind of trips if you don’t like. You can utilize that time in the activities you like.

As far as connecting with your family is concerned, you can always connect with them through video chats or calls. If you are staying in a hostel, your sole motive is to pursue the program with best of your capabilities so that you can make the best of it after completing the course. Try connecting with your family whenever you can but stay focused and participate in each activity of the college as it will allow you to develop your self-confidence and interpersonal skills.

IMI Delhi

Placements: Placements are good if you compare it with second Tier colleges. This year the highest package was 20 Lacs and the lowest was approximately 7.5 Lacs. The companies visited are IMRB, Dara Shaw, City Bank, Axis Bank, RB, ANZ Bank, Decathlon, Deloitte and HCL etc.

Infrastructure: A bit of overall infrastructure constraint, but the management of resources makes up for it. Could be better. Classes are good, as well as labs are. The library is bit small and Auditorium is not too spacious either. Hostels are also average. We also have gym facility.

Faculty: I would say the faculty would be in top five b schools in India. Professors are highly knowledgeable. Some are so good that you would fall in love with subjects. Overall it's great pedagogy of case study mixed with the theory classes, makes it great learning experience. Students to faculty ratio is 1:8.

Other: The best thing which can happen to you is getting indulged in the management and cultural events. College is so happening that you never feel bored. Great ambiance in the college.

RATING:3.5/5

IBS Hyderabad

Placements: College provides a good mix of established and budding startups so one can choose from a variety of roles. Though once your placed in a company you can not sit in placements further. Deloitte, Musigma. Shell, KPMG, CCD, are few of the traditional companies which visit the campus.

Infrastructure: Gym, canteen, conference room. These three a student is going to use a lot other than classroom (for obvious reasons), good news is that they are functional and well kept. THOUGH nothing can be found in vicinity, bus shuttle provided by college can be used to go Delhi Gurgaon during weekends.

Faculty: Faculty is awesome. And in case you don't like anyone, you can always provide anonymous feedback to programme office. The feedback are taken seriously and worked upon. It is a residential programme so you can reach out to profs even after college hours.

Rating:4.2/5

Harsh I am sorry to say that this semester abroad program is available in Great lakes institute of management Chennai campus not in the Gurgaon campus. In GLIM Gurgaon there are only two programs PGPM (1-year course) and PGDM which is a 2-year full-time course available and there is as such no scheme of a semester abroad program available in GLIM Gurgaon in any of the two programmes.

Right now admissions are open for PGDM programme at Gurgaon campus whose application deadline is 30th April 2018 whereas admissions are now closed for PGDM programme at Chennai campus.

Feel free to ask if you have any more queries. All the best!!
