One of the best in all aspects!

Placements: The percentage of students placed from the previous batch was 100%. Some of the top recruiters consist of Deloitte, KPMG, Vedanta, EY, Axtria, Berkadia, BOA, Gartner, and Infosys. Some of the top roles were Senior Analyst, Team Lead, Financial Analyst, and Consultant. The highest package was 21 LPA, the median package was 10 LPA, and the lowest package was 9 LPA.

The whole campus has very smooth and fast Wi-Fi, and the classrooms have provisions for online guest lectures from different industry experts from different countries.

Other: I chose this course because it provides a holistic idea and approach to current corporate scenarios and gives us knowledge of different business areas. Some of the best aspects are continuous presentations, academic projects, and the overall environment of the college. Some parts of the course need to be more robust, and some essential tools and techniques should be included software-wise, as they are still used in the industry. CREST, WINTER BUSINESS CONFERENCE, and SAPIENCE are some of the inter-college competitions and fests that take place. Every cultural event is celebrated very grandly, including fresher-farewell, Diwali parties, Garba nights, sports events, and competitions among clubs and committees.

Great Lakes Institute of Management: A Center of Excellence.

Placements: The last batch of Great Lakes Institute of Management, Gurgaon, had 97% of the batch placed in the final placements, with 200 out of a batch of 300 students getting summer internships. The average package for the final placements for the PGDM program currently sits slightly north of 11 LPA, with the highest package being slightly above 22 LPA. The summer internship stipend for the last batch was an average 25,000/- monthly. Top recruiters consist of Deloitte, EY, KPMG, CRISIL, Bank of America, Infosys, Genpact, Hyundai, TATA Technologies, Gartner, and Room. New recruiters now also include Airtel, Royal Enfield, Kotak Mahindra, IDBI Bank, Atomberg, and Marsh McLennan. Top roles offered to the students were primarily in finance, sub-types of consulting, strategy, sales, and presales & marketing. There were also some new-age roles offered in the sectors of Fintech, Internet Business & Analytics, and Healthtech.

Infrastructure: The best part about this college for me personally is the 24/7 open library and gym. Apart from these, the college also has XR Lab, high-speed Wi-Fi available for students everywhere in each building in every room, and smart lecture rooms. When it comes to living, the hostel facilities are very well maintained, neat, and provide more than expected perks for a college hostel that one would've normally expected. We have AC hostel rooms with twin sharing for all the students. Multiple cafeterias/mess facilities that serve decent food, with ending machines and cooked-to-order meals from a wide range of dishes on the menu. The best part is that the whole system has been integrated through online services via an app, so managing your order for food in the mess is a very streamlined process. Coming to sports, we have multiple indoor and outdoor facilities in use, such as a basketball court, badminton court, volleyball court, football field, cricket ground, and table tennis rooms, as well as a well-equipped music room with a variety of instruments and music gear, with adequate space for practicing dance performances as well. In addition to this, we also have an amphitheater or an open-air theatre. For catering to students' health, we have a dedicated 24/7 open medical center with multiple doctors and our own ambulance service for students, as well as a psychiatrist for addressing students' mental health and support if required, all on the campus itself.

Faculty: One of the best parts about joining Great Lakes Gurgaon is their faculty. Not only the professors but the teaching assistants assigned to the teachers are very supportive and qualified to aid the development of students as much as we ask from them. After each workshop, midterm, and endterm, we are asked for regular feedback for each course or workshop and their respective faculty so that we can raise our problems and issues and suggest what was lacking and what could be improved upon. Great Lakes makes this process so effective because the head of the institutes and the program directors, as well as the professors, actually take into account the feedback and make changes. For example, they arranged multiple extra tutorial lectures for students who were from a different background for the courses they were finding difficult to understand. The curriculum itself is taught in a very application-based and practical way through simulations, case studies, and even as far as starting our own businesses from the college in teams so that students can experience the concepts they learn firsthand. The exams are not just memorizing the chapters and filling out an answer sheet, but the exams also ask case study-based real-world scenarios where we have to answer the questions by applying our knowledge and not just mugging up theory. Additionally, there is a point system in place that encourages students to participate in several internal and external business competitions and quizzes, write and publish articles in journals, forums, and newspapers, partake in research, and write case studies, all under a faculty's mentorship. The minimum passing criteria for each term is above 2.5 out of 4 CGPA, and for the point system for each year, which is a mandatory requirement, is to cross 100 points, which get rest every year.

Other: The committees and clubs are one of the best things about Great Lakes Gurgaon that make the B-school life here vibrant and enjoyable by refreshing our minds from the rigorous academics. We have clubs and committees ranging from specialization-based clubs for various specializations, cultural, sports, hobbies/interests-related clubs, food committees, toastmasters clubs, and many more, all run by students themselves under the mentorship of a faculty. Not only do we get to develop our non-academic skills, but we also have fun. Plus, the college also provides shuttle services each weekend for the students to travel to Delhi, so nobody here feels restricted even though the campus is located on the outskirts of Gurgaon.

Budding B-school in NCR region .

Placements: Placements are Great Lakes; Gurgaon has been tremendous. It is a well-known fact that the batch of 2024 faced challenges in placements due to economic conditions across the globe. We were not out of the conditions that every B-school suffered from last year. Instead of taking it as a problem, our CCS team took it as a challenge and was able to bring many fortune companies like Deloitte, KPMG, Gartner, Bank of America, and the list continues. In difficult times, college was able to place 100% of the students offering 11.7 lpa average CTC and 22.5 lpa the highest CTC. The roles offered were top-notch for any MBA graduation from Tier 2 B-school. Ranging from analytics to finance to marketing, companies have shown trust in students and hired them for the growth.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure at Great Lakes is amazing. Lush green campus with modern infrastructure makes it sustainability-focused. Classes are well-equipped with the latest technology to enhance the learning. We have a library that is accessible 24/7 and provides a plethora of books to read. The college has an in-house IT team providing IT and Wi-Fi support across the campus. Won't be doing justice if doesn't appreciate the Sodexo catering for food and housekeeping services.

Faculty: All the faculty members are top-notch, having strong academic and industry backgrounds in various industries. The course at Great Lakes Gurgaon follows a case-based curriculum, particularly cases from Harvard Business School. The curriculum also enhances the student's employability by providing sessions of corporate readiness programs. Semester exams are all case-based, requiring students to use theories and learnings gained from classes and apply them to the particular real case.

Satisfied with the Great Lakes experience. Salute to the commendable efforts of Placement Team.

Placements: So currently, 95% of students are placed, and the remaining are still getting placed. The highest package is 21 LPA, the lowest is 8 LPA, and the average is 12 LPA. Top recruiters are the Big 4, D. E. Shaw, Vedanta, Infosys, HCL, Tata Technologies, LTI Mindtree, Bank of America, and Crisil. Almost 100% of the batch got internships in startups and good companies, including the Big 4, and also received PPOs. Top roles offered are Data Analytics, Investment Banking, Merger & Acquisition, Management Trainee, Marketing Manager, Social Media, etc.

Infrastructure: The facilities provided were top-notch, be it classrooms, hostels, library, mess, or cafeteria. The college had centralized ACs, and Wi-Fi connectivity was provided all over the college as well as the hostel. Food was available in four meals, and that too in good variety and nice quality, better than many colleges. Sports and medical facilities were also available, with 24-hour doctor support.

Faculty: The teachers were very well qualified, having Ph.D. degrees as well as various professional certifications like CFA and Actuary. The faculty members had corporate exposure as well, so they were able to impart practical experiences in every field. There were also many industrial guest lectures every month to make us aware of the actual corporate world. The course was very much relevant to make students not only theoretically ready but also practically. The exam difficulty level was decent, and the pass percentage was 50% marks.

Other: I chose this course to gain practical exposure, and I chose finance as my specialization to gain more practical exposure. The best thing about the course is group projects, impromptu presentations, and open book exams. Connectivity can be a little issue because it's far away, nearly 20 km from Gurgaon, the nearest metro station. But we are provided with free shuttle facilities on weekends to go out. The campus crowd is great, and you can learn from them as they belong to very diverse fields and cultures.
