Which one is better to pursue PGDM: Great Lakes, Christ or Welingkar?

First comes Great Lakes followed by Wellingkar and then Christ. If given a chance I would rank them accordingly.

As a former Welingkar student (PGDM Full time - 2013 batch), I can throw some light on how the institute is. I will highlight some pluses and minuses about the college and overall what to expect. If you are looking at joining a good b-school, the below is something you should expect from the college as a bare minimum: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/2mEh9nL" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>http://bit.ly/2mEh9nL</a> Exposure Internships &amp; Final Placements Infrastructure Physical Tech Knowledge Curriculum / Course Options Intellectual Capital Brand Name Fees vs Package Alumni Rankings Other opportunities/facilities Welingkar also has a AAA committee comprising of 2nd-year students. AAA stands for Acquisition, Application and Assimilation of Knowledge. Students get the opportunity to attend education/management specific seminars (within Mumbai) and then chip in with their ideas on how to improve the education standards of the courses making it more practical based. Dean &amp; Professors are the mentors who review the ideas shared. Overall, I hope I have given you good insights on why Welingkar is a good investment and in general what you should expect from a college. If you get into Welingkar, go for it unless you have a better option at hand. Good luck!

I would suggest you to go for Great Lakes but if you're comparing between Christ and Welingkar, then blindly trust on Welingkar. Welingkar is one of the best campuses for PGDM.

Welingkar is better with regards to future career options than Great Lakes or Christ. Also the fees for Great Lakes is Rs 14 lakhs, for Christ it is Rs 10.5 lakhs and for Welingkar it is Rs 8 lakhs. So Welingkar provides a better ROI than the other 2 colleges. There are a lot of international companies which are on campus for placements. Also there are student exchange programmes which provide an all round exposure.

A Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) is a Diploma course offered by the institutes that are recognized by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and which are autonomous and not affiliated to any university. However, accreditation by Association of Indian Universities (AIU) makes an institute's PGDM course equivalent to an MBA. Fees is high in case of PGDM as compared to MBA. MBA institutes charge less fees as it is almost similar to university standard. Although there are similarities between the curriculum of both, differences exist as well. A student pursuing MBA will be studying more of the theoretical aspects of management. An MBA institute will be following a fixed curriculum as it will be based on the university guidelines. A student pursuing a PGDM course will be gaining knowledge regarding building soft skills and the programme is more industry-oriented. An autonomous institute does not have to follow university standards, so it is free to change its curriculum according to industry standards and change in the business environment. The course will prepare you for a senior level position in a company. 1. About Great Lakes: For PGDM the fee is around Rs 12 to Rs 13 lakhs for 2 years. With 20 months experience, you are only eligible for PGDM, not PGPM ( The flagship course of Great Lakes). The placements are good. The average package being around Rs 7 LPA. In coming years it is expected to grow. 2. About Christ University: The fees for the PGDM course is Rs 6.75 lakhs for 2 years. The current average salary is Rs 6 lakhs with the highest salary going as high as Rs 10 Lakh. 3. Welingkar: The current fees for PGDM program of Welingkar campuses at both Mumbai & Bangalore is Rs 11 lakhs for 2 years.The average salary at Mumbai campus is Rs 8 lakhs per annum while the same is little less at Rs 7.5 lakhs for Bangalore Campus. On comparing the various parameters like fees, placements, faculty, infrastructure, and facilities Christ and Welingkar are good choices. Ultimately it depends upon personal preferences also, like living in Mumbai or Bangalore. Hope the answer helps.
