Hi,
Whenever you are considering any college for pursuing PGDM or MBA just the placement figures cannot be the only factor to be considered. You should try to collect information about the following:
A) the brand value of the institute in the market
B) exposure which you are getting in the institute due to its location due to its record of consistent academic quality
C) brands coming for the placement
D) lastly the placement figures with respect to different specializations like marketing, Finance, HR etc. So, firstly, brand-wise Welingkar Mumbai is a very strong brand as compared to BIMTECH Greater Noida. Welingkar is a very old and strong brand since early 1990 whereas BIMTECH Greater Noida became a brand when it is started performing good after the global recession of 2009. Secondly, you get a very good exposure when you are studying in the financial capital of India Mumbai but this Mumbai never limits placement performance of Welingkar with respect to marketing specialization. They do provide very good placement around 8 Lacs rupees per annum CTC. Thirdly, even if you consider the ranking Welingkar Mumbai is amount top 30 institutes of India whereas BIMTECH is among the top 45. Thus we can conclude that BIMTECH is a very good management institute for marketing placement but Welingkar Mumbai is better. Good luck.

First of all congratulations, you will get a chance to seat in GDPI as so many didn't crack the criteria. Now I would like to suggest you to study well for GDPI and give your best. And if we talk about conversion it totally depends on which programme you are looking for and how you perform in GDPI. Because there is equal weightage on GDPI as well as academics.
