Hello Aspirant,
I hope you are doing well.
Thank you.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
Hello Aspirant,
It depends on your other decisions. GLIM is an excellent B school known for its one-year PGPM program. The 1-year PGPM program is a very good executive MBA program offered in India. However, the two-year PGDM program is not as good as the PGPM program. If there is a call from better colleges such as old IIM, ISB, FMS, XLRI, SP JAIN or new IIMS, NMIMS, SIBM, SCMHRD, etc. or IMT Ghaizabad, Baby IIM, Sydhenham, etc. You can skip this b-school. If you have more than 3.5-4 years of experience, you may prefer the new IIMS, SIBM, and the 1-year PGPM Chennai program over all. Overall, it depends on your work experience, the programs offered, the campuses offered, and your other choices.
Thank you.
