Great Lakes will accept only Last year's scores of CAT and XAT for Cycle -1 of the PGPM 2023 admission process and for both the years in Cycle-2
However, the admissions are done holistically so qualifying the above cutoffs cannot alone determine your chances of admission here. The cutoffs too vary every year depending on the applicant pool and quality. Approximately, a 90+ percentile in XAT/CAT and a 600+ score in GMAT would be considered suitable subjects to meet other criteria.
Great Lakes placement for PGPM recorded 100% placements in 2023 with an average salary recorded at 18.10 LPA.
It varies depending on the individual's skills, experience, and the reputation of the college they have graduated from. The perception of a college can differ from one company to another. For example, Amazon might consider GLIM Chennai as a tier 1 college while Deloitte might consider it tier 2. The reputation of a college is subjective and depends on the perspective of the employer.
Regarding job roles, there are many possibilities after completing an MBA. If you are looking for mid-level management roles, it depends on what type of management you are seeking. If you are looking for people management or just a seat at the table, then any college can provide this opportunity, provided the companies that visit the college for placement match your expectations.
However, strategic business decision-making roles are rare. No employer would hire someone without experience, regardless of academic tier. A strong track record can lead to these roles. Depending on talents, experience, and the college's reputation, an MBA from a 2 or 3 tier college can open up many professional prospects, including mid-level management roles.

There is hardly any difference between Great Lakes Gurgaon and Chennai campus in terms of education and placements. Key faculty is shared for the campuses. Placement is combined. Facilities, resources, and exposure are also similar on both campuses.
The Great Lakes Gurgaon campus also has some additional benefits as it is located near the corporate hub of Delhi NCR. Students get good exposure to diverse industries such as E-Commerce, Analytics, Internet Business, etc. They also get the chance to do live projects with corporates in NCR.
One can easily get an idea about the placement scenario of any School from the official website. But, these figures are sometimes inflated so you cannot rely on them. The best way is to contact someone who is in the current batch, a recent pass-out, or an alumni. Only they can give you the real picture of the institute.

Majority US companies hire Indians for engineering roles, that too for IT sector jobs which we are best known for.
US people are good at management. So they seek technical experts from India. This is why the top performers of IITs get readily placed in IT jobs in the US for attractive salaries (more than 7 figures in rupees).
Whether you join an IIM or Great Lakes Institute, both receive a limited number of US offers during placement season. As for off campus placements, IIM Shillong and Great Lakes are both average institutes. So the chances of getting a US based offer are further reduced.
The best option is to either opt for an MBA in the US itself, or to work for big names in India for a couple of years. This will help you build a strong resume, and get noticed by recruiters abroad.
