Will you recommend studying from IIM Ahmedabad (PGPM) for 2 years at the age of 32? 

Aditi HandaxStudied at Amity University Noida (2019)

Yes, definitely you can go for it. One of my cousins did something similar and she highly recommends it because of the following reasons:

  • PGPM is a course made especially for experienced professionals, it’s not just a postgraduate course. Hence, it requires people who have good experience in their profession.
  • Your profile will be on a different level after doing PGPM and certainly, you can get a senior executive position.
  • There is a high chance that your connection with the corporates will increase with the help of alumni networks.

Though the course is not really based on theories, it could be easier to manage the studies. As the transition from work to academics could take some time. Otherwise, there are no major problems.
