Remarks

To become eligible for the course a candidate must have an undergrad from UGC approved college a valid cat score 1st round ends in Nov, for admission and 2nd round starts in January post cat results. The admission process is quite smooth and very easily approachable.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum is so well designed 1st of al prep course is conducted for the duration of 1 month and then the subjects are bifurcated according to specialisation wise. The student faculty ratio is 39:1 and all faculties are from top b-schools of the world.

Class Size: 50Course Fees: INR 1750000 per year

Internships Opportunities

The summers are also well but it is somehow difficult topo get placed in big firms for freshers because of lack of experience but finally, all are placed well at the end and the average stipend was around 50k and highest 125k per month.

Placement Experience

The summers in college start in October and go till December and the average stipend is 50,000 and finals start in December end and the avg package is around 10 lakhs. 100% placement record. Notable recruiters are itc, Marico, Accenture, Goldman Sachs, moodys.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fees are somehow expensive but it is worth it as also a loan facility could be availed by the students from the banks without collateral. Scholarship programs are also there which are run by the government and every student is eligible to apply for that.

Campus Life

This question is on everybody"s mind to my ex[perience as college is located in a prime location of Chennai and beach is also nearby and also there are various clubs and committees to nourish students so as to make them corporate players. various activities and fests are done in the college premises itself only.

Hostel Facilities

4.5

The hostel accommodation is also provided to each and every student in the college premises itself only. Also, there is a mess in the college as well as a canteen which provides good quality food to eat for the students. the rooms are properly ventilated.

Hostel Fee: INR 200000 per year

Interview Experience

There was only group discussion and one short video process of personal bio. The topic was related to current affairs and economic situations. The process is very smooth and I preferred to read newspapers daily i.e. economic times to persuade knowledge to a new end.

Other Applied Colleges

IMT Ghaziabad | PGDM

I was not shortlisted in last round.

I also applied to GIM Goa, IMT Ghaziabad, XIMB Bhubaneshwar but I felt that GLIM Chennai is the one where I can learn more and also the ROI is good for that college. Yes I got rejected from IMT Ghaziabad, GIM Goa and this was due to my commumcation skills and not having relevant knowledge of the things asked to me.

The CAT test kicked off the application procedure. The application forms may be found on the official iim website everywhere, and the application price was Rs 1500. We needed to take the exam and pass it before the deadline. That year, the threshold was 80 percentile, and I scored 89.67 , which was above the cutoff. Following that, we had a panel of 12 students participate in a case discussion. We were given a total of 20 minutes to speak about the subject. Social media a boom or bain was the chosen topic. We had a personal interview after that, and then the results were released....Read More

Summer Internship

I have filled the GLIM Chennai form just like other colleges to keep my options open. Once I got the call for Interview, I started doing my research about the GLIM. In 2012-13 Pagalguy was the most sorted portal and it has some honest reviews about the GLIM Chennai. One of the thing which had mixed review over the thread discussion is that few years back GLIM has moved its City campus to 70Km away from Chennai. But trust me this was the one of the best thing to have. So my Interview went smooth and its was mostly on My Work , My decision to go for MBA and what diversity I might bring in for the batch. Few weeks later I got the admission letter along with few other colleges I had given the Interview. But I found GLIM had 1. World class faculty 2. Guest Lecture from Industry Stalwarts 3. Best Campus 4. Low Batch size. So this all made my decision easy and I became the Great Lakers....Read More
