MBA/PGDM

Alliance University is a pretty good choice for a executive PGDM. My ex-manager is a visiting professor for the course and she is someone with loads of knowledge about marketing and strategy. She had informed me that many of the visiting professors are from top MNCs. I think the industry angle is something that is critical for the success of an Exec PGDM course and Alliance is inclined towards providing the best coaches from all over the industry.
I have attended the sessions and the teaching mode and delivery pattern is top-notch. You should definitely go for it.
Also, the kind of networking opportunity that you will get by attending the course is something that is unrivalled. I mean, i was sitting next to an AVP from Goldman Sachs and a HR Senior Manager from Infosys. Talk about changing career path the easy way!

A recent study has punctured the myth that a B-school degree guarantees a fat pay packet. The average annual salary offered to students during placements in close to 40% of B-schools across the country is less than Rs 3 lakh, it has revealed.
Students from just 1% of the 4,500 institutes across the country the top business schools that command Rs 12-15 lakh as course fees are offered an annual salary upwards of Rs 9 lakh during campus placement.
The country's MBA dream, says the Crisil Research report, is fading fast as there is more awareness about the (lack of) quality, infrastructure and decreasing return on investment.
Around 37% of the B-schools were placed in the bottom, with many failing sometimes failing to place a single student. The average annual salary for those more fortunate is Rs 3 lakh.
The largest chunk of B-schools around 52% falls in the Tier-III category of the study with an average annual salary of Rs 3-5 lakh. That apart, just 60-80% of students in this category are offered jobs during campus placements.
For the study, Crisil categorized B-schools into four different categories based on parameters such as occupancy rate, number of students placed, average annual salaries offered and average course fees charged.
The seat occupancy rate is the worst in the 37% institutes that fall in Tier-IV. It is understandable, given that many fail to place any student some years; some though, manage to place up to 60% of a batch.
