Which one should I opt for: a PGPM at Great Lakes, Chennai, or a TAPMI BKFS/MBA core?

TK

Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IITM)

Honestly, if I was in your place I would have chosen PGPM. Great Lakes. It’s the best choice you can make among the options you have.

I feel your work experience of 3.5+ years is too superior to be considered at TAPMI and it won’t do justice to your profile.

The PFPM course no doubt has high fees but you need to focus on the package you will receive at the end of the program. It’s like a long-term investment and you can expect a higher ROI than the usual program.

Moreover, Great is well known for its specialization in IT. Depending on the offers during placements you can even switch to some other domain.

If you have these options then you can kick out TAPMI first of all. IIM tag is much worth it if you consider current industry growth. There are multiple factors to consider between IIM Vizag and IIM Raipur.

Which will be better, Liba, Great Lakes, TAPMI, or Nirma University?

SA
Satyasundar Agarwal Posted On : March 8th, 2022

TAPMI is the best among these institutes. If you are among the top 100 students, you can get good placement packages. TAPMI placement report for last year reveals that the top 100 students received an average CTC of around INR 14.6 LPA. The job profiles and exposure offered at the institute are comparable to top management institutes in the country. 

You can keep Grate Lakes as your second preference. Both campuses of Grate Lakes offers decent placement opportunities to students. During the 2022 placement, the average CTC stood around INR 11 LPA for the institute. 

LIBA and NIRMA University aren’t in the same league as TAPMI and Grate Lakes.

As a fresher, should I join TCS and try for an MBA/PGDM later, or should I join TAPMI?

DP

Studied at TAPMI, Manipal

If you have an MBA call from BLACKI (Banglore, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Calcutta, Kozhikode, Indore), XLRI Jamshedpur, FMS, and other premium institutes then you can definitely go for MBA otherwise I would suggest you gain some industry experience for at least 2 years and along with that you can constantly appear for CAT/XAT exams. 

It would become easy for you to get admission to a premium institute with work experience, and work ex. will also help you in securing a good placement in your MBA college.
