As for the review, I am not sharing my own, but of a friend who recently completed this course. She considered the program to be very good but a bit on the expensive side. Let's break down the review into common aspects

• Placements: The placement percentage of this program is approximately 4% with the highest package offered around 85 LPA, the lowest salary package offered being 11 LPA. The top roles offered are relationship manager, business analyst, and area sales manager.
• Infrastructure: The entire campus is wifi-enables and has all the top-notch faculties one could ask for. Every classroom is fully air-conditioned and has modern teaching aids. You can access databases and journal websites through the online portal of the library. The accommodation facilities are also world-class.
• Faculty: IIM Ahmedabad has the highest qualified faculty pool that don't limit their teaching to classrooms only but rather engages in dynamic talk to ensure the holistic development of students.

Overall, the IIM Ahmedabad campus is superb and the excellent academic environment made choosing the Analytics program a great choice. 

If your current package is less than 15 LPA, pursuing PGPX 1-year full-time program at IIM Ahmedabad is good. You should look at international colleges if your current package exceeds 15 LPA. You should always do your MBA and find a job outside of India. India is simply the world's back office. It is different if you want to be an IAS officer, but Indian corporate is slavery and junk. Working here for an extended period of time will undoubtedly turn you into a lunatic.

One week of college life is enough to demonstrate the quality of American education. The tasks are out of this world. Americans are among the world's smartest and most innovative people. As a last resort, continue your education in India. Even if you have more than 5 years of work experience, IIM A/ISB will only hire you in one of India's back offices.
