How good is IMT Ghaziabad for PGDM - HR specialization in terms of the placements?
One of my relatives was part of the 2014 -16 PGDM batch of IMT Ghaziabad. This answer is based on her experience at the institute.
In her batch, there were 30 students with HR specialization out of the whole 680 batch strength. The overall average CTC offered to them was decent enough, however, the salary packages offered to students were a mixed bag.
For 2020 batch, the average CTC offered to students was 12 LPA while the highest package was 58.22 LPA

What should be the order of preference for MBA >> Great Lakes Chennai (1 yr PGPM) , IIT Delhi/Madras/Kharagpur/Kanpur (2 yr PGDM), IMT or KJSomiaya?
The order of preference of institutes is always subjective as it depends on a variety of factors. Some of these include
- Fees: Great Lakes fees are higher than IITs and sometimes the difference is as high as 10 Lakhs.
- Duration: The one-year courses are time-saving and less expensive than 2-year ones.
- ROI: The ROI is a very crucial component. Great Lakes may have high fees but since you will be studying just for a year and then again start earning, you will be able to pay back the loan quite early. IITs have low fees so their ROI is also great.
- Placements: The placement scenario of all the aforementioned institutes is similar. However, Great Lakes has more opportunities in the IT sector while IMT and IITs have more opportunities for Marketing.
- Facilities: Great Lakes has better infrastructure, facilities, and campus life in comparison to the other institutes.
Based on your preferences and priorities you can come up with your own order for preference. For me it is
GL (1 yr) > IIT's > KJSOM

How can I do MBA at IIM Bangalore?
It is simple to gain admission to IIM Bangalore to pursue an MBA. Apply for the common admission test (CAT), get a good percentile based on your previous work experience, and then pass the WAT-GD-PI process. Every year, nearly 2 lakh aspirants take the CAT. The prestigious 2-year MBA program at IIMB accepts only 400-500 students. That means you must outperform 1,99,500 other students or 99.75% of those vying for the coveted seat.
IIMB requires stellar academics in your 10th/12th/UG, meaningful participation in extra-curricular activities (even better if you have won some awards), and a zeal to give your best and survive the rigorous curriculum as you enter a daunting corporate life later. If you are a General Engineer Male (GEM), you must score at least 99%ile (assuming you scored 85-90% in your 10th/12th/UG) to be considered for an interview. Sometimes the cutoff is as high as 99.5%ile or higher. Because of gender diversity, General Engineer Females (GEF) have a few percentile points advantage. If you come from a non-engineering background, you can still get an interview even if your score is 90-95%. Although your percentile goal should not be based on your UG profile. To get the highest CAT percentile, you must give your all.
For CAT preparation, you must first understand where you stand. Solve any previous year's CAT exam to determine your strengths and weaknesses. Consult a coaching institute to determine whether you require coaching or if you can prepare on your own. The idea is to start with the fundamentals. After that, begin solving mocks. It is also more important to analyze mocks than it is to solve them. Determine your mistakes and try not to repeat them in the future. The trick is to look for incremental improvements in each mock.
When the CAT is finished and you have achieved the required percentile, it is time to start preparing for the WAT-GD-PI. Interviews for the IIMB will be stressful. They will run a rapid-fire round with strange questions, testing your ability to survive the rigorous curriculum while also verifying your credentials and experience.
