Review of Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai.

Placements: The college provided 100% placements. The average salary package offered in our batch was 9.5 LPA. The top recruiting companies were Deloitte and Cognizant, who offered a consultant profile. The highest salary offered was 1.3 lacs per month. The lowest salary package offered 8.5 LPA. Since it was a one year course, we didn't have an internship programme.

Overall a decent college for MBA.

MBA with good placements and excellent campus experience is no longer a dream.

Placements: More than 100 students out of 120 getting placed for interns before the month of January is something really noteworthy. Marking the roll of fifth batch, marquee corporate like Amazon have considered my batch students for interns and subsequent PPO's. The placement scenario for my seniors is even more better with only a handful yet to be placed.

The curriculum is huge, but placements are low.

Placements: Until now, only Deloitte has visited the college as a mass recruiter, and it hired 56 students from PGPM branch. Other than this, there are minor recruiters like Honeywell, where one candidate was selected. A company named Virtusa has offered 6 PPOs, and HSBC has hired six candidates. Placements are not as per the expectations considering the curriculum. It is a good option for TCS sabbaticals as they can join back TCS after PGPM. But, it is not good for those who join this college after resigni...

Great faculty, good infrastructure and good placements.

Placements: The placement season of this year is yet to commence. However, from the previous year experiences, the placements have been good, offering an average package of 12 LPA to 12.5 lacs per annum. Companies like Deloitte, ZS Associates, Amazon, etc., visited the campus. Some companies offered a very niche role in the area of analytics especially. Overall, it is a good kickoff than its contemporaries. Everybody gets placed by the end of the season.

Great Lakes is good for MBA.

Placements: The college ensures 100% placements for the whole batch with the companies from a wide range of industries and many diverse roles. Since it is an 11-months course, it is a great feat for the college that most of the students have got more than 100% hike in their salaries. Most of the students took marketing as their role, so most of the companies were for marketing roles.
