Is BIMTECH's PGDM Course better than its PGDM (Int. Business) Course?
Personally, I believe that to be the case. Despite the fact that the topics can appear to be the same, the PGDM core contains all of the essential studies. Placements are roughly the same, however, there is an increased emphasis on key subjects. However, total competition is higher, and a greater emphasis is placed on attentiveness.

How is the BIMTECH placement for the PGDM?
BIMTECH is one fine college to choose to join and PGDM is their flagship course. They have good placement records. One of my friends studied there and never had any complaints about it.
The following table shows a brief overview of the institutes:
| Categories | PGDM at BIMTECH |
| Course Fee | 12 lakhs |
| Highest CTC | 18-23 LPA |
| Average CTC | 9-11 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Amazon, Accenture, Wipro, Infosys, etc. |
A good number of 50+ companies have covered a recruitment process. When the rate of the economy was moving at a slower pace, the institute still witnessed companies showing up in the placement drives.
I can assure you that once you are at an institute like BIMTECH, you should right away stop worrying and being skeptical about getting placed.
Which is better, IMI Delhi BF&S or Great Lakes Chennai PGDM, considering I have no particular inclination towards finance but IMI is the bigger brand?
If you have the option of dropping a year and preparing for CAT, XAT, or other entrance exams, it may be worth considering. You can use the extra time to study and improve your scores, which could lead to better opportunities in the future.
However, if you have decided to pursue an MBA this year, there are several factors to consider before choosing between IMI and GLIM. You should look at the return on investment (ROI), fees, faculty, location, and placement records of both institutions to determine which one is a better fit for you.
It is important to note that neither the Business Forensic & Fraud Management (BF&S) program at IMI nor the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) program at GLIM are the flagship programs of their respective institutions. You may want to research the other programs offered by each school to see if they align with your career goals.
Personally, I would recommend GLIM over IMI. However, you should make your decision based on your own research and preferences, taking into account factors such as the curriculum, faculty, industry connections, and career prospects. It is important to choose a program that aligns with your career aspirations and provides the best value for your investment in terms of education, skills, and networking opportunities.
