Which course is better in Goa institute of management?
Goa Institute of Management has 2 regular programs
- PGDM
- PGDM HCM
PGDM: PGDM is its flagship course and is very successful. Its 100% placement percentage is a testament to that. The average salary has been increasing every year and this year stands at INR 12.07 LPA. The companies visiting the campus for recruitment have been loyal by visiting every year. The regular PGDM has much more fees in comparison to PGDM HCM and thus a lower ROI. Also, admission to PGDM is tough owing to tough competition.
PGDM HCM: This program was launched just a few years ago and had few seats. It too boasts of a 100% placement percentage yet its average package at INR 10.40 LPA is lower than PGDM. But some companies come especially for HCM students. The PGDM HCM has fees lower than PGDM and thus offers a higher ROI than regular PGDM. Due to a lack of awareness, the competition is also less tough than PGDM.
Talking about the delivery of the curriculum, the faculty, pedagogy, infrastructure, and facilities are all the same. The students of both programs join together during events. So eventually it’s up to you to decide which course to take.

How are the placements at the Goa Institute of Management? What are the companies that recruit from the GIM?
One of my friends recently completed his PGDM from the Goa Institute of Management and told me that the placement Statistics of the institute are very misleading. GIM claims that big companies like Big FM, Grand Thornton, RB, and Zee Media visited the campus for placements but in reality, they never visited the campus. Many students were forced to opt out of placements so that they can show a 100% placement percentage in their placement reports. Moreover, you will have to pay so many fines that all your savings will dry up.
Earlier GIM was indeed a promising Institute but recently is on the verge of deterioration owing to the irresponsibility of the administration.
