According to some of my friends at FORE School of Management, PGDM-IB is a decent option for students interested in an MBA, providing several opportunities in the selection of specializations and placement. The points below give a brief overview of the course, specific to the stream of International Business (IB).

• In PGDM IB, there are few papers different from the core PGDM program, which are mostly included in the later semesters.
• Some of the relevant subjects that are included in the program are International Business Policies, Culture, and Socio-economic issues, Laws & Regulations & WTO, Export-Import Procedures, Logistics, Global Supply Chain Management, Data Security, International HR, etc.
• The placement process of PGDM IB is totally similar to that of the core PGDM program.
• For students in PGDM IB, the first mandatory specialization in International Business.
• For the second specialization, students can choose any one among the others like finance, marketing, strategy, IT, etc.

These are some of the most important aspects of the PGDM in International Business offered by the FORE School of Management, which provides decent placements to students.

Among the above two institutes, PGDM in International Business at FORE is definitely a better option, considering the placement statistics of recent years. The points below give a brief overview of the key highlights of the FORE School of Management, along with its major advantages over LBSIM.

• FORE School of Management offered an average package of 10.7 LPA in PGDM IB. On the other hand, the average package in PGDM at LBSIM is 8.5 LPA, which is quite lesser than that of FORE.
• The International Business stream in PGDM at FORE has an outstanding syllabus, in which they teach quite a number of subjects different from the conventional core subjects.
• The placement process of both FORE and LBSIM is almost the same.
• Most companies allow only those students in their placement drives that have at least one of the specializations mentioned in their required profile. For example, a marketing company will allow only those students who have marketing as one of their specializations.
• For students of the 2018-20 batch in FORE, the first specialization will be International Business. You have the liberty to choose any one of marketing, finance, strategy, IT, etc as your other specializations.

Therefore, the FORE School of Business offers an excellent PGDM International Business program, which has decent placement and ample opportunities for students.
