Should you pick PGDM Finance at IMT Ghaziabad?
This course suits students who want a finance job in a bank and can live on campus for two years.
Pick it if:
You want a job in a bank: banking and financial services took the largest share of this batch's offers, and Barclays, HSBC and Kotak hired here.
You want to choose your finance major early: you pick the specialisation before the summer internship, so the internship builds on it.
You are a woman candidate: every woman admitted gets 25% off the academic fee, and a place on the merit list takes that to 30%.
You watch the rankings: the NIRF Management rank moved up five places in a year, from #35 to #30.
Skip it if:
You are counting on a lower cutoff for your category: the same 90 percentile floor is published for every category here.
You want to live off campus: every PGDM programme here is fully residential, so you stay in the hostel for both years.
You want a single room from day one: first-year rooms are double sharing and you change rooms at the end of year 1.
You will apply only after the CAT result: the form is expected to close in the same month that the result comes out.
Counsellor's advice
If you clear 90 percentile and want a bank job, send the form before the CAT result comes out. If your score is below 90, keep other colleges above it and read the scholarship page before you pay the first part of the fee.

Will your CAT score get you a call from IMT Ghaziabad?
Pick the test you are taking. The cutoff range below is the percentile the institute publishes for a call.
Your test
CAT 2026
90 percentile and above: yes, you clear the published floor. Fill the form and get ready for the selection round.
80 to 89.99 percentile: below the floor. No lower floor is published for any category, so keep other colleges on your list.
Below 80 percentile: not this cycle. Aim at the next CAT or at XAT instead.
XAT 2027
The institute takes XAT 2027 but does not publish a percentile floor for it. Aim at least as high as the CAT floor of 90 percentile, then wait for the shortlist.
GMAT
A GMAT score taken on or after 1 Jul 2022 is accepted and it must reach the institute by 15 Jan 2027. No score floor is published, so send your best score early.
EDITOR'S NOTE
The 90 percentile floor only gets you the call. What you say in the selection round, plus your past marks and work record, decides the seat, so do not stop preparing after the result.

In short
IMI New Delhi pays more on average and gives a better return, but it charges more for the course. If both call you, take IMI New Delhi for the pay; if only IMT Ghaziabad does, take this seat.
In short
FORE School charges about the same as IMT Ghaziabad but pays less on the average and on the median. If you hold both offers, IMT Ghaziabad is the stronger seat for a finance job.
In short
TAPMI Manipal costs less and asks for a lower CAT percentile, but its average pay is well below this page's. If your score is short of 90 percentile, keep TAPMI Manipal as the backup.
In short
Great Lakes costs a little less and asks for a lower CAT percentile, but it pays less on average. If you want the finance course at IMT Ghaziabad, stay with this seat.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
