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.

MBA from Great Lakes Institute of Management

A PGPM from Grate Lakes, Chennai will be a better option.

It is a popular course and can be completed in one year. If you already have a few years of industry experience, you may not benefit a lot from TAPMI MBA.
It offers better placement opportunities. GLIM PGPM placements 2022 had an average CTC of INR 17.86 LPA.
The locational advantage of GLIM works in favor of students at the time of placements.

The program offers decent academics, brilliant faculty, and a good ROI.
