PGDM in finance at Great Lakes is one of their new programs, I think it is really good for a fresher or students with 2 years of work experience. Their flagship program is PGPM for students with 2 years of work experience. It is considered as one of the premier B-schools by most corporate houses. If you have some experience in a certain field and want to continue in the same field post MBA or PGDM, it might not be a bad idea to join Great Lakes.
