Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai

As a former Welingkar student (PGDM Full time - 2013 batch), I can throw some light on how the institute is. I will highlight some pluses and minuses about the college and overall what to expect. If you are looking at joining a good b-school, the below is something you should expect from the college as a bare minimum: http://bit.ly/2mEh9nL

Welingkar also has a AAA committee comprising of 2nd-year students. AAA stands for Acquisition, Application and Assimilation of Knowledge. Students get the opportunity to attend education/management specific seminars (within Mumbai) and then chip in with their ideas on how to improve the education standards of the courses making it more practical based. Dean & Professors are the mentors who review the ideas shared. Overall, I hope I have given you good insights on why Welingkar is a good investment and in general what you should expect from a college. If you get into Welingkar, go for it unless you have a better option at hand. Good luck!

You can apply for Welingkar, as it is ranked amongst the top B- Schools and also they provide a lot of opportunities and exposure to the students. Many foreign and Indian companies come for campus placements; also there are a lot of student exchange programs, which provide a global exposure to the students. There is also a Global Citizenship Program, which provides a practical exposure. Students also get to manage a lot of events which gives them an on hand experience of management. Also, Welingkar conducts a selection process which takes into consideration your GDPI scores, your academics and also your percentile. So, a combined score is taken into consideration which would give an entry for the student into the college.
