The curriculum includes the foundation management courses along with complex topics like
- Principles of Sustainability
- Marketing of Sustainability
- Creativity in designing solutions for Sustainability
- Measuring and Reporting Sustainability
- Sustainability in SCM

Which one should be preferred between Great Lakes, Chennai PGPM, and IIM Amritsar?
When considering which postgraduate management program to pursue, there are several factors to consider. One such factor is the duration of the program. Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai (GL) offers a One-year PGPM program, while the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Amritsar has a 2-year PGPM program. If you are looking to re-enter the job market sooner, Great Lakes may be a better option for you.
Another factor to consider is the alumni base of the institution. Great Lakes has a larger alumni base than IIM Amritsar, which may provide more networking opportunities. Additionally, Great Lakes offers a unique Karma-Yoga program where students learn leadership skills while giving back to society by helping the surrounding villages.
It's worth noting that IIM Amritsar is a relatively new institution, established only around 7 years ago. While it has the coveted IIM tag, it may not have the same level of prestige or reputation as older IIMs. However, if the IIM tag is important to you, and you are willing to work harder than your peers and give your best in those 2 years, IIM Amritsar may be a good option for you.
Ultimately, the decision of which program to attend will depend on your personal priorities and what you want to gain from the program. It's important to do your own research and weigh the pros and cons of each institution before making a final decision.

What are my chances of getting a call from the tier 1 MBA institutes like IIMs, FMS, XLRI, SPjain, etc., if I have a 3 year drop after my graduation?
If your academic performance was fine and your score is a bit on the lower side, you can get Tier-1 institutes like IIM, FMS, XLRI after fulfilling some requirements. It would be a bit difficult to compete with the fresh graduates but it is still possible.
A gap of 3 years and no work experience after graduation is a negative point that can be easily pointed out in your CV. You should be honest with your reasons and make sure to avoid unnecessary mistakes, you can walk through it in your interviews and can get enrollment in these top MBA Institutes.
A good suggestion for you would be to deeply do a quick review of what you had learned from your experience with engineering job preparations. You should consider the reasons that have made you shift towards pursuing an MBA course.
If you can back all this up with a decent CAT/XAT percentile score (around 99.5 plus in your case), you can get a call from these institutions.
How can I visit IIM/XLRI/FMS during my MBA Preparation phase to interact with Prof and students?
You can visit IIMs if you have any mutual friends on the campus. Another way is through events where you can join and get an opportunity to interact with the students and professors.
Following are some examples of events held at IIMA and IIMB where you can easily interact with both faculty and students:
Events at IIM Ahmedabad

Events at IIM Bangalore
- Annual Business Summit: It is usually organized in September.
- Annual Entrepreneurship Summit: It is typically held in Late July/ Early August.
- One day at IIMB: It is an annual fundraising event arranged when the students celebrate 'Joy of Giving Week'. This provides an opportunity to experience one day at IIMB.
The other way is by attending prep talk sessions held at XLRI and IIMs before CAT and XAT. You can also visit numerous conventions/seminars in XLRI to get in touch with the faculty members etc directly.
You can interact with the students and professors on social networking sites. It would be best to contact the professors through email. You will find the email IDs on the official website of the institutes.
