Awesome experience of doing MBA from a holiday destination

Sprawling campus built in the midst of scenic beauty with state of the art infrastructure a swimming pool ,gym, tennis court ,football ground and the list goes on a slight disadvantage in terms of location for industry exposure yet more can be done by interaction with local industry events have to be scaled nation wide with more promotion and much more sponsorship in events placement is decent but much more work required in terms of increasing the brand image of GIM so that more companies visit the campus, location is another hindrance but overall the scene of placement is good with a student driven placement team dedicated to bringing in more and more companies big rooms, both single and double AC/ Non AC with enough washrooms in each floor, common rooms with sofas and tv sets,washing machines in each hostel and a doctor sitting from 4 to 6 pm quality of professors is good but needs to be better to compete with tier 1 colleges, most of the good profs are in marketing, visiting faculties fill the shortage in terms of diversity it is one of the best colleges to study with almost 50:50 gender diversity and equally good cultural diversity, college is not for the people keeping ROI as the first criteria as the fees are a bit high than other colleges in the same league but loans are easily available without a collateral security. A major DISADVANTAGE/ADVANTAGE is that college is located on uphill and commuting to the main city becomes both costly and time-consuming affair so at times you may get irritated but on hindsight, it helps you to avoid spending a lot of money

Amazing College

GIM is well located and has a beautiful campus surrounded by the shayadri range. The hostels are spacious, well laid out and most importantly always clean! The staff is great and very helpful. The faculty is always available and visiting faculty is excellent too. All amenities one would expect are available on campus, including laundry, atm, a souvenir store, a bakery, a juice centre, a regular goods store, a doctor who comes daily, counsellors etc. The placements are great too. The student bodies and committees keep the college lively through out the year by conducting dramatics courses, music courses, Zumba, lots of games, sports, and many other events. All in all a great college to be in!

Hostels are beautiful to look and kept very neat and there is a provision of AC hostels also looks like hotel rooms. Professors are totally good with anytime availability option as many of the faculty resides in college ...of course, different blocks are allotted for their convenience. There is exactly 50:50 gender ratio ...which is unique in whole India I think...I don't know about the world. It looks like it has been slightly highly priced but if you come and experience the facilities you will not feel guilty about spending so much money...it will satisfy you.

A great experience

I have been part of GIM for the past 3 months and it has been by far the most enriching experience of my life. Be it the faculty, the students or the infrastructure of the campus it has surpassed my expectations of a B-school. More learning truly happens outside of classrooms in GIM. GIM has 23 student driven clubs to boast about and the students are entertained by various activities arranged by these clubs all through the year. We celebrate most of the festivals in our college as the students reach here from all across the country. There is no dearth of experienced students as more than half the students come with experience in the corporate world.Apart from that, we get people holding high positions in various industry to spend some time with the students and exchange their learnings and experiences. The curriculum is designed to extract the best out of the students. A fully equipped library and finance lab which is open 24/7 caters to the student's needs. GIM has various amenities like swimming pool, gymnasium, badminton court, tennis courts which help us to remain fit during these two years. The TV room, laundry service, and the cashless campus makes life on campus all the more relaxed.

Best of both worlds

It's not often that you get to have a slice of everything that is a buffet, but here at GIM, that's how any typical day would be. The infrastructure is top notch, the faculty is highly competent and add the Goa factor and you have a college that can compete with the best institutes across India, if not the world. Everything in the college is student driven which itself helps in a students' self-development and then we have live projects, guest lectures, workshops etc. Apart from this what sets us apart is how we are also being sensitized towards giving back to the society. We spend time in taking care of our environment and society which I believe is the need of the hour. Hostel life is, in a word, LEGEN- wait for it- DARY !!

The campus is alive 24*7 and weather here is amazing. Hostels and classrooms are well equipped and have almost everything needed here. Though it is bit expensive as far as ROI is concerned, but the experiences GIM gives, are invaluable. The range of activities is an amazing mosaic of filmmaking, choir, orchestra, movie club, theatre, quizzing, the celebration of festivals and ‘learning with fun’ and there are 23 different clubs and societies (related to finance, marketing, HR, operations) which make the learning here even more interesting.

GIM is a B-school with an attitude.

My life as a GIMite has been a fun one. With one of the most beautiful infrastructures in the country and being located on the foothill of the scenic western ghats it already is different from the other B-schools in the country. What also sets GIM apart from its peers is its student driven program. Along with a strong pedagogy, beautiful infrastructure, knowledgeable professors and a keen focus on industrial exposure GIM are truly on of the best B-schools in the country.

A beautiful campus with diversified students

GIM is a very beautiful campus. The greenery can be seen all around the campus. The western ghat looks amazing from the campus. I just love the rains over here. The college infrastructure is of top quality. The classrooms are with AC equipped. The cafeteria is amazing But foods aren't that great. Only breakfast is good. If I talk about the faculty staff, the marketing and finance faculties are very good although few exceptions are there. The hostels are good too. Although wifi doesn't work sometimes. The daily college life is very hectic because of assignments and case studies and quizzes.
