GLIM Gurgaon is a good Bschool for PGDM. If you have some amount of work experience in the field of IT/ITES or are looking for a career in IT/ITES, then GLIM is the place to be. If you are interested in switching careers from an MBA or want to get into traditional FMCG companies, GLIM would provide you with very few opportunities in this regard.

PGDM from GLIM Gurgaon is a good option but if you have any converts from Tier 1 or Tier 2 colleges, then please consider your options.
