GLIM Chennai: 2 Answered Questions

Is an MBA (PGPM 1 year course) from Great Lakes Chennai worth 19 lakhs?

Gaurav MukharjeeGreat Lakes Institute of Management

It is based on your interests. Great Lakes is a comparatively good institute that offers effective academics and the best infrastructure facilities, especially in the IT sector. But if you are interested in concentrating on other fields like HR, Finance, and so on, then opt for NMIMS, SIBM, SCMHRD, XIMB, and the New IIMS.

Most of the leading B schools are charging close to 20 lakhs for this course, so it is worth paying around 19 lakhs at Great Lakes Institute of Management as it has better placement support

The recent Placement Statistics at GLIM are mentioned below:

Highest Package	INR 12 Lakhs per annum
Average Package	INR 6.55 Lakhs per annum

What is the GMAT cutoff score for the PGPM course at Great Lakes Chennai and what is the average placement package after the same?

Gaurav MukharjeeGreat Lakes Institute of Management

Great Lakes is a highly reputed B School that offers AICTE-approved one-year PGPM and two-year PGDM programs. For its PGPM program, Great Lakes accepts CAT, XAT, and CMAT. Here are the cutoffs of these respective exams

CAT 2021/2022	80
XAT 2022/2023	80
GMAT (Taken after Jan 1, 2020, for PGPM and after Jan 1, 2021, for PGDM)	600
CMAT 2022 for PGPM and CMAT 2022/2023 for PGDM	Below 5000 All India Rank for Chennai Campus Below 10000 All India Rank for the Gurgaon campus

Great Lakes will accept only Last year's scores of CAT and XAT for Cycle -1 of the PGPM 2023 admission process and for both the years in Cycle-2

However, the admissions are done holistically so qualifying the above cutoffs cannot alone determine your chances of admission here. The cutoffs too vary every year depending on the applicant pool and quality. Approximately, a 90+ percentile in XAT/CAT and a 600+ score in GMAT would be considered suitable subjects to meet other criteria.

Great Lakes placement for PGPM recorded 100% placements in 2023 with an average salary recorded at 18.10 LPA.
