Taking a loan is a wise decision only if you are confident that you can risk the high fees and excel. You should be determined to achieve your goal while putting a hefty amount at stake. Once you are ready to go for MBA make a list of your most preferred institutes. Target the best B schools.

Goa Institute of Management is indeed a reputed B School and is rated amongst the best. Don’t be too hesitant to choose this one.

SM
Subhashree Meher Posted On : March 2nd, 2023
Studied Post Graduate Diploma in Management at Goa Institute of Management (2020)

One of my friends is majoring in HR but has opted for numerous positions in IT Operations. According to her, the course is very well designed and is industry relevant. Speaking specifically about Operations, the electives under it are directly related to the industry such as

  • Business Analysis
  • Big Data Analytics (now a specialization in itself at GIM)
  • Project Management
  • Supply Chain Management 

The pedagogy comprises a case-based approach with special emphasis on recent trends in each specialization. The faculty is very experienced and has had enough exposure to the corporate world. On average, around 30-40 students specialize in Operation every year at GIM. The most common roles offered to students who are specialized in Operations are

  • Business Analyst

Which college is the best among GIM, Nirma, and TAPMI?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : May 27th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

All three colleges fall under the Tier 2 category of MBA colleges in India. However, TAPMI and GIM possess a slight edge over Nirma as they have a stronger brand reputation and placement figures. 

When it comes to TAPMI and GIM, the former is known for finance and marketing while the latter is known for marketing as some top FMCG companies recruit from there. GIM could be considered slightly better if someone wishes to pursue marketing, and it also has a smaller batch size than TAPMI. The bigger the batch size, the harder it is for the placement team of any college.

What is the career after a PGDM from Goa Institute of Management?

HS
Harita Sama Posted On : March 3rd, 2023
MBA Marketing & Human Resources, Goa Institute of Management (2021)

The career prospects once you complete your PGDM from Goa Institute of Management depend largely on your specialization and the plethora of opportunities available. The overall placement has been decent but specialization-wise, there are continuous changes.

GIM is generally considered to be an average B School that does not even make it to the top 20. But its alumni have proven otherwise by achieving more than a top B School graduate. But this wasn’t a cakewalk and required a lot of determination and passion.

The career prospects are subjective and can be determined solely on your performance, specialization, and your determination. It’s not the same for all as GIM is not a top B School. You will have to pave your own way to success.
