An overview of the PGDM - BDA program of GIM

The pedagogy followed at GIM is extremely nurturing for an MBA aspirant. I find the opportunities and learning avenues to be plenty. GIM is associated with the UN SDSN and that opens a lot of opportunities for budding managers of tomorrow. The admission process was quite smooth. I was notified about the dates and venue well before time. The fact that the campus is student-driven, it is giving a lot of exposure to students and helping incorporate grooming.

The course curriculum is covering every aspect of analytics. The subjects cover the theoretical knowledge and have exhaustive practical exposure. The course is a perfect blend of technical and management education. The faculty for the BDA program are quite knowledgeable and helping out students at all points, be it academics or case competitions or other co-curricular activities.

Yes, GIM provides wonderful opportunities for the Summer Internship Program. The institute has a 100% placement record.

The campus offers great placement numbers to its students. The BDA program started only in 2018 and already has an average package of over 12LPA and a median package of over 11LPA, with a 100 percent placement record. The 100% record stands bold even in case of offering summer internship offers to all its students.

The fees for both the years is close to 19L, inclusive of all the requirements. Scholarship can be availed by students studying here. The job opportunity is pretty well from the campus to students studying there, in terms of summer internships and final placements.

GIM life is very active. There are always activities going on, and I have not realized how time has slipped. There are over 25 clubs and societies at GIM who keep conducting various events, workshops and activities keeping the campus engaged all the time into numerable productive work. The clubs cover virtually every aspect of an MBA grad. From clubs and societies ranging from HR, marketing, operations, analytics, health, finance, investment to photography, design thinking, consulting, stage speaking and much more.

The hostel rooms are quite satisfactory and provisions are also enough. All hygiene habits are followed stringently by the staff in terms of cooking and food. The menu holds a variety of food and the separate menu is prepared for festive occasions.

Yes, there was a GD and PI round. Before those, for BDA aspirants, one has to appear for GAAT exam. This exam tests one on statistical, business, basic coding, logical reasoning, verbal ability, data interpretation questions. First, one has to take the GAAT exam, then based on its score, and the score of the entrance test, a candidate gets an interview call. I prepared for the GD and PI by reading all possible current affair and abstract topics which I could gather from sources like newspaper and internet. I was clear about my choice about BDA and articulated my thoughts before appearing for the interview.
