    College Infrastructure

    Equipped with state of the art infrastructure, this college has all the facilities a student will ever need in the span of 2 years. The college offers gym, sports centre, 2 cafes, tennis court, basketball court and 2 separate academic blocks for the students. The 31 acre campus is LEED Platinum rated.

    Academics

    All the faculties here not only have vast amount of practical experience, but are also the absolute experts in their respective domains. Our college is famous for its financial specialisation. The curriculum is updated every year, with the examples being taught being also updated every month. Lots of case studies are done.

    Placements

    Our college offers very good placements, with respect to its competitors. Our college has 100% track record of placements, with some of them being placed the Big 4, reputable companies etc. Last year the highest CTC offered was INR 45 lakhs. The mean salary offered was INR 14.5 lakhs.

    Glim review

    College Infrastructure

    Over all good infrastructure, providing students with all the essentials to excel like library. Sports people can have a great time here on badminton court, football ground, cricket ground. Hostels are overall average but ground floor rooms have problems of insects , ants, etc.

    Academics

    Professors are great with a lot of experience and expertise in the subject . Full marks for professors. But problem is many reputed and experienced profs are leaving the institute so not sure about the future.

    Placements

    Reality is different from the painted pictures on internet. College is struggling to place students even for internships . Even after this struggle they are continuously increasing the PGDM batch size.

    Value for Money

    If your aim is to acquire knowledge then might be a good investment but surely not a great deal if you are joining for placements especially if you are from non commerce background.

    Campus Life

    Location is a bit away from city but safety and security is maintained properly. Staff of every level is good until it comes to Placement Committee. Campus is clean and green making it a good ambience.

    Great Lakes Interview

    College Infrastructure

    The college has all the infrastructure one can ask for. There are library,canteen,AC hostel room, playground and High class gym facility too. There is a indoor play hall too and a mess that can contain 600 students. The classrooms are the best part as they are very spacious and Air conditioned with smart class boards and projectors. The living spaces and the food is hygienic and clean too

    Academics

    I am studying post graduation in finance and analytics , this is 2 year course of MBA.I am studying it because I want to become a investment banker. The quality of teaching is very high as the teachers are very very experienced and legends in their own field. The curriculum is updated always and teb recent developments are taken into .

    Placements

    Companies such as JPMC, ICICI,ey,master card , nephr plus, Adobe, Accenture, Infosys all the corporates are visiting for taking students in the companies. But around 80 percent is still yet to get placement.

    Value for Money

    The course had cost around 20lacs in total but it is subject to changes. Yes, I believe it is worth it because the connections you build and the networking you learn stays for the long term. I believe this could turn out to be a very good place for connectors.

    Campus Life

    Campus Life is really amazing. Also known as "Campus which does not sleep", the campus enjoys the essence of studies and competitions at any given point. Wherever you go, you get a productive mindset with intellectually sound people.

    GREAT LAKES HONEST REVIEW

    College Infrastructure

    The college has all the necessary infrastructure, such as libraries, hostels, academic buildings, an auditorium, grounds, a gym, and a dining hall, all of which are well maintained. The facilities that we have on campus are smart classrooms, 24*7 wifi, an online app named Camu to communicate with faculty or get services, air-conditioned rooms,etc. All of them are well maintained, too. the food and living spaces are very clean and hygienic.

    Academics

    Great Lakes is the epitome of quality teaching. Currently, I am in my first year of learning general management, which includes finance, operations, marketing, and organizational behavior. All the teachers are highly experienced and qualified, have PHDs in their fields, and are very practical in their teaching. The curriculum keeps changing each and every year to adapt to recent changes and current happenings. What we study makes us job ready too as it helps in internships too.

    Placements

    The quality of placements is good at my college. But recently, as the market has been down for a while, every college has been struggling a bit. Still, my college has provided many opportunities with renowned firms in summer internships and final placements. the current batch that passed out, the college achieved 100 percent. The highest salary was 48 LPA, the lowest was 14.5 AVG, and the highest salary went to the operations domain. Placement are never easy but the college was extremely helpful

    Value for Money

    It cost me 10 lakh per year. yes i am getting my money's worth due to the placement opportunity and academic facilities

    Campus Life

    The best feature of the campus is that it is really clean and filled with green trees. The campus is 27 acres, so it is always enjoyable to roam around. The worst thing is the distance between some hostels and classrooms as they are far away. The students can engage in committees, societies, and sports events too. The teacher and the staff are very kind and helpful. They mind their own work, which is a good atmosphere for students. location is very safe and has a clinic that can handle emergency

    Others

    Great Lakes is a good college to study at, and the college is growing very fast. You can definitely consider joining the college

    Good college with amazing campus experience.

    College Infrastructure

    Great Campus, only Leed platinum certified green campus in India. Library and classroom are well equipped and the hostels guarantee a comfortable stay for students. Mess food is mostly above par. All the amenities are well maintained.

    Academics

    The quality of professor that teach at GLIM chennai is quite good. Most of the professors have attained their higher degrees from foreign institutions. The founder Uncle Bala is padmasree and still teaches at the age of 84. Apart from teaching in foreign university, he takes out time to teach CMA to us too. The curriculum is regularly revised to keep in touch with current realities and market expectations.

    Placements

    This is one area the college struggled a bit this year. For summer internship many students were placed at good roles but with either no or low stipend. But then students were also placed at companies such as Mckinsey, Adobe, HP, Nestle, ITC, BNY Mello, FTZ solar, Dell to name a few. Final year placement was good with average CTC of around 10.5 LPA. The issue with SIP can be attributed to covid but the silver lining is everyone was placed.

    Its a good college if compared to its peers.

    Amazing campus.

    College Infrastructure

    Amazing infrastructure. 30 acres Lead verified campus. A very beautiful green campus having a football field & even a small temple. Evenings are very beautiful at the campus & if you have a room at the 3rd floor of your hostel, you can expect a wonderful sunset.

    Academics

    Persuing an MBA in Finance. Teachers are amazing & very helpful. You can approach them at any time of the day & they'll be happy to help. Management is pretty amazing. Curriculum is good enough for an MBA filled with case studies & presentations.

    Placements

    Good companies are coming in for placements. The total batch was placed. Even internships were given to each student even during this pandemic situation. Placement committee works hard for the placement purposes.

    Value for Money

    Course cost approximately 17lakhs. It is more or less the same as an MBA in any of the good colleges would cost. The studies with added on campus experience & exposure seems worth the pay. One would love to study here.

    Campus Life

    Amazing campus life. Everything available on campus. There's a snack hub fulfilling all your fast food needs & a utility store having all the essentials. Nearby the campus there are some dhabas too if you wanna go out.

    Have a question related to Great Lakes Chennai (GLIM) ?

    Cat-89.90% 10th-85% 12th-75% grad-58%(B.Sc Mathematics) Fresher Can I expect a call form Great lakes chennai PGDM,will my grad score affect or should I apply to it?

    Hi Aspirant,

    Hope you are doing great.

    You have scored pretty well in CAT but still, great lakes put too much emphasis on your past academic performance. Your 10th and 12th marks are decent but the low performance in graduation can restrict your call from this college. Generally, the cut off of this college revolves around 85 percentile in CAT. So, there are some chances that you might get a call from this college at 89.90 percentile.


    All the best.
