If worked hard in study period, the ROI is good.
Placements: Our batch witnessed an excellent season of placements this year. Business and Strategy Consulting came up with the most job offering industry, followed by Technology Consulting. The highest domestic package offered was 33.26 Lacs per annum. The season saw participation from major recruiters like Accenture, ADP, Brain, Bristlecone, Deloitte, Cognizant, E&Y GDS, FedEx, HCL, Infosys, Incedo, Optum, Tiger Analytics, Zoom, and ZS Associates.
Infrastructure: Life at Great Lakes is awesome. Great Lakes is situated 40 km away from Chennai city. The event is conducted throughout the year by various clubs in the college. Library cards are provided to us through which we can access all the books in the library. We do have sports events in our college, like cricket tournament, volleyball etc. I got a four-sharing room with attached bathroom and food facilities included, with fees 6500 per head. Wi-Fi facility is provided. A gym, indoor games, table tennis, carrom, etc., are available. Daily maintenance of rooms is arranged.
Faculty: The course structure of 1 year (6 terms) is carefully crafted to develop business competencies, effective teamwork and leadership skills. Since I had prior work experience, that helped me a lot in implementing all the management concepts practically. Class size was kept normal to ensure sufficient attention to each student of the class. All the professors had completed their PhDs, and some of them were even writing research papers till now.

The return of investment from this college is not as good as it could be.

During our placement term, the institute observed an excellent placement record of over 97% with the highest salary pacakhge of 13 LPA being offered. Maximum offers are made by TCS, Deloitte US & India, Accenture, HCL, Aditya Birla Capital, ADP, Amazon, Barclays, Cognizant, Capgemini, etc.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are technology embedded and Wi-Fi enabled. There are many recreational facilities along with health care facilities for students' access. The library consists of recourses for all domains. Students also have access to live databases, journals, and case studies from Harvard University. With fully-airconditioned hostel rooms, the hostels were well furnished and we were given a cupboard, bed, a table and chair. The hostels are well maintained and the food is well-prepared.
Faculty: The faculty pool includes national, international faculty and faculty with corporate experience of more than 10 years. The overall score is just not based on exams but also projects, presentations, and assignments. The programs helped me develop business competencies, effective teamwork and leadership skills to set us up for accelerated career growth. In a fast-changing business world where billion-dollar companies are created in a few years, the PGPM allowed us to maximize learning and start creating value by the end of 1 year.
