In most of the colleges for PGDM courses, there will be a GDPI round where they will evaluate you on the basis on your work ex if any, previous academic record, entrance exam score and your performance in GDPI itself. You will be selected for a course on the basis of these factors. You can look for colleges according to ROI you are expecting, location, brand value, etc.

You have a chance of getting a call from Welingkar. They require a total score of GDPI, academics and percentile. So there is fair chance of you getting a call and it is upto you how you convert it. But once you get into the college, you have a lot pf opportunities. They offer placements in international firms and also, they have a lot of student exchange programs which are offered which gives a global exposure to the students and leads to an overall development.
