How would you rate IIM Lucknow - Noida Campus for PGP course?
My friend is currently pursuing the EGMP program and has a lot to say about it. Although the primary campus of IIM Lucknow is in Lucknow, all the Executive Education Programs are conducted at the Noida Campus which is the secondary campus.
The quality of the curriculum and pedagogy remains the same for the regular PGP courses and EGMP courses. The same learned faculty teaches at both campuses. Even the study material and curriculum are the same.
Moreover, once you have completed the program successfully you will be granted a certificate for the completion from IIM Lucknow with an alumni status. But these programs have no placements. Except for IPMX, all the other Executive Education Programs lack placements.
My friend is very happy with the course content and the quality of education offered. Infact, some of the IIM Lucknow professors are guest lecturers in some of the best B schools in India and abroad.

Are the high fees of 15.5 lakh at Great Lakes Chennai (PGDM) worth it?
Everyone has different criteria for considering an institute worthy or not. It all depends on other options you have and your financial background. Your question is subjective so I will try to answer it in the most unbiased way.
One of my cousins got admission to the Great Lakes PGDM program and because of his weak financial background, he decided to take an education loan for 12.75L. This year he will be completing his 3rd year as a professional and when asked he says that every penny he spent was worth the results he reaped. The highly experienced faculty, top-notch infrastructure, and environment justified the high fees charged by the institute.
What is the difference between PGDM BFSI and PGDM Finance at IMT Ghaziabad ?
The emphasis of the curriculum distinguishes the IMT Ghaziabad PGDM Finance programme from the full-time PGDM program. A general management education, including instruction in marketing, finance, operations, and strategy, is provided via the full-time PGDM programme.
The program's participants will enroll in a range of business-related courses. On the other side, the PGDM Finance programme specialises in finance and related fields. With the option to specialise in fields including corporate finance, investment banking, and financial analysis, students in this programme will take courses that are highly focused on accounting and finance.

XLRI Jamshedpur is one of the top business schools in India, and its HR program is highly respected in the industry.

What is the difference between PGDM full time and PGDM Finance at IMT Ghaziabad?
An acquaintance of mine completed his PGDM from IMT Ghaziabad so hopefully, he would be able to answer your question accurately.
- In the case of PGDM full-time, you will be capable of choosing your own area of specialization, be it marketing, finance, or HR at the end of the first year.
- In the case of PGDM finance, your area has already has been chosen for you and will not be able to change it.
- Irrespective of the specializations, the first year is common for each and every student. PGDM students can choose their desired area of specialization at the end of the first year.
The college management may ask full-time students to choose their specialization area before their placements for summer internships which are usually 3-4 months of joining even though technically you can choose your major by the end of the first year. My acquaintance had to choose his major before his summer internship placements.
If you choose PGDM Full time, then you will be able to choose your specialization from:
- Marketing
- Finance
- Information Management and Analytics
- Operations Management
- Human Resources
- Innovation and Entrepreneurship
If you go for PGDM finance, you will have to learn the electives and core subjects of finance in your second year.
Is an MBA from XLRI worth it?
There are various parameters through which it can be measured whether XLRI is worth it or not.
-
Money: You will be able to appreciate it more if you consider network and learning a part of it. About 200 students cannot afford the fee and must take out a loan to pay it to find it well worth it.
-
Time: There is also an opportunity cost involved. It's worthwhile if you believe that peer learning and classroom learning are a good use of time.
-
Effort: The true worth of your efforts becomes clear only after you see the results. Every year in XL, over 500 people recognize that value and trust their experience, and another group of students embarks on the same journey to discover their own.
-
Sacrifice: At various ages, people make various sacrifices in order to pursue their XLRI dream. Some postpone a wedding, some drop out of their campus placement, and some resign from a job they're not sure about. This has less to do with XLRI and more to do with the decision to pursue management.
You can't go wrong with XLRI if you believe a Management course will make a significant positive difference in your life.
How is PGPM course of Great Lakes Chennai?
The PGPM course of Great Lakes Chennai is suitable for you only if
- You are from IT Background: This is because most of your peers will be IT GUYS, from TCS, Wipro, Infosys
