Is it worth pursuing PGDM from XIME Bangalore after 3 years of work experience in an IT firm? Experts please help.

XIME is one of the reputed B-Schools and since you have experience of 3 years then PGDM will definitely help you for getting a career growth. Also, if you are getting a chance for EMBA then it is a much better option for experienced professionals. Experienced professionals are supposed to get better placement opportunities than a fresher.

It depends on the stream that you will be pursuing in. Marketing and Finance are extremely good in terms of ROI and placements. Market is extremely unstable, so we cannot be too certain about the placements based on the average placements. Things may change, first be sure about what stream you want to switch into. Being from an IT industry with 2 years of experience, I found my work extremely monotonous and not challenging enough. So, I decided to pursue Management - HR division. I needed a complete career change. If you think it is worth it to spend INR 15 Lacs and invest 2 years of your time here, go for it. Else, you can always wait for another 2 years and go for Executive MBA. Let me know, if you need more input on this.

Dear Robin, about XIME, I would like to highlight the following things. 1. Rated among A1 institutes of super league ratings by Business standard, June 2017. 2. Ranked 17th among 'Top B-school all over India' by Competition Success Review - GHRDC, 2016. 3. Follows a norm of 100% placement with reputed companies, offering average salary package of 6.7 lakhs per annum. 4. Collaborations with foreign universities like Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Guangzhou, China, Shanghai International Studies University, for student-faculty exchange programs. 5. Conducts international educational visits/ study tours in Europe, China, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand for PGDM students. 6. Academic partnership with Association of Indian Management Schools, Association of BRICS Business Schools and Indian Association of Autonomous Business Schools. 7. Conducts training programmes in entrepreneurship development. Now I personally believe that if a candidate gets an opportunity to study into institution like this, than one should go ahead because somewhere down the line it will enhance a person's skill sets, especially the one who is experienced. The reason behind it I see is experience will meet knowledge. It is also obvious that a person seeking admission into such an institution would like to draw and learn as much as possible, which will add to the personality and confidence level. Above all one may get a good opportunity further by way of campus. However, the final call is always yours. Your are the best judge for yourself. I hope this helps. All the best and god bless you.
