Should you pick PGDM Healthcare Management at GIM Goa?
This course suits students who want to manage hospitals, medical device firms or health tech companies after two years on a residential campus.
Pick it if:
You are from Goa: the qualifying score can be lowered by up to 15 points for Goan domicile, so a lower score still gets a call.
You hold an MBBS, BDS or B.Pharm degree: the Achiever Round shortlists you without a CAT or XAT score.
You want medical device and health tech jobs: Johnson and Johnson, Philips, Medtronic and Stryker hired from this course in the last placement season.
You want the fee back fast: at the average pay the full course fee comes back inside two working years, as the ROI tile shows.
Skip it if:
You are weighing this against the flagship PGDM here: the fee is the same for both, so take healthcare only if you want a healthcare career.
You need a cheap seat: the academic fee alone is INR 21.45 Lakhs and a room with mess adds more on a residential campus.
You want a single room from day one: first year students share a double room and single rooms come only in the second year.
You plan to apply late: the last date falls in early January and the interview list is built only from forms filed by then.
Counsellor's advice
If you want a healthcare career and can pay the full fee, apply in the First Mover or Achiever round, because the early rounds close months before the last date. If money is tight, ask about the tuition fee waiver before you accept the seat.

CAT percentile, General category
85 percentile and above: a call is likely if your marks and work record are clean.

Below 80 percentile: unlikely this year, unless the Achiever Round fits you.

In short

In short

GIM Goa: 3 Answered Questions
Which course is better in Goa institute of management?
Utkarsh DevPGDM - Big Data Analytics from Goa Institute of Management (Graduated 2021)
Goa Institute of Management has 2 regular programs
PGDM
PGDM HCM
PGDM: PGDM is its flagship course and is very successful. Its 100% placement percentage is a testament to that. The average salary has been increasing every year and this year stands at INR 12.07 LPA. The companies visiting the campus for recruitment have been loyal by visiting every year. The regular PGDM has much more fees in comparison to PGDM HCM and thus a lower ROI. Also, admission to PGDM is tough owing to tough competition.
PGDM HCM: This program was launched just a few years ago and had few seats. It too boasts of a 100% placement percentage yet its average package at INR 10.40 LPA is lower than PGDM. But some companies come especially for HCM students. The PGDM HCM has fees lower than PGDM and thus offers a higher ROI than regular PGDM. Due to a lack of awareness, the competition is also less tough than PGDM.
Talking about the delivery of the curriculum, the faculty, pedagogy, infrastructure, and facilities are all the same. The students of both programs join together during events. So eventually it’s up to you to decide which course to take.
Is it worth pursuing PGDM (BDA) from GIM (their new course)?
Prasad SawantM.B.A. in Marketing, SVKM's NMIMS (Graduated 2017)
Goa Institute of Management comes among the top 20 private colleges in India so almost all the courses offered are worth the fees you spend.
