My friend is currently pursuing a GIM PGDM BDA course and feels that the course is totally worth the fees he spent. The course is becoming a very coveted one because of the increasing demand for data analysts and scientists. Nowadays the Big Data industry is in full swing and is in great demand.
Moreover, this program's course structure, pedagogy, and faculty are industry relevant. The curriculum ensures the delivery of necessary knowledge, tools, and languages.
The course is a rich blend of basic managerial concepts with technical aspects in a ratio of 4:6.
Goa Institute of Management has 2 regular programs
PGDM: PGDM is its flagship course and is very successful. Its 100% placement percentage is a testament to that. The average salary has been increasing every year and this year stands at INR 12.07 LPA. The companies visiting the campus for recruitment have been loyal by visiting every year. The regular PGDM has much more fees in comparison to PGDM HCM and thus a lower ROI. Also, admission to PGDM is tough owing to tough competition.
PGDM HCM: This program was launched just a few years ago and had few seats. It too boasts of a 100% placement percentage yet its average package at INR 10.40 LPA is lower than PGDM. But some companies come especially for HCM students. The PGDM HCM has fees lower than PGDM and thus offers a higher ROI than regular PGDM. Due to a lack of awareness, the competition is also less tough than PGDM.
Talking about the delivery of the curriculum, the faculty, pedagogy, infrastructure, and facilities are all the same. The students of both programs join together during events. So eventually it’s up to you to decide which course to take.
My friend is currently pursuing PGDM in HCM from GIM and gave me a general picture of the course.
The HCM program covers various domains of Healthcare like
The roles offered through this program include
Placements: The institute boasts of 100% placement percentage of HCM course with average at INR 10.4 LPA and Highest at INR 26 LPA. The majority of students were placed in the Healthcare IT sector (47%), followed by the Consulting (43%), Medical Device (43%) and Pharmaceutical (5%) sectors.
Infrastructure: The college has a world-class campus with 24*7 functioning libraries along with sports and hostel/mess facilities. Its location in Goa speaks of the beauty of the campus alone.
Suitability: This course can be taken by students with any background but it is most suitable for students with a healthcare background, Computer science/IT background, and Pharmacy & biotech background. However, there are many students from varied backgrounds like B.A. B.Sc., non-IT Engineering, B.Com, etc. who have successfully started their career in healthcare after completing this program.
So Goa Institute of Management excels in almost every aspect and its HCM IS considered one of the best-coveted programs.
Goa Institute of Management comes among the top 20 private colleges in India so almost all the courses offered are worth the fees you spend.
My friend is currently pursuing the PGDM Big Data Analytics course and she is glad she took the course.

The companies that visit the campus for BBA placements are
You will have a lot of opportunities and the crowd is also talented in almost everything. Multiple internships offered mainly from Intershala are offered to students at different times. The timings can vary from division to division and depend on your semester as well.
Comparing the two, an MBA from NMIMS and a job through SSC CGL are highly illogical. The prospects and magnitude of both career inclinations are totally different. Let’s conduct a general comparison on the basis of some common aspects
So MBA will guarantee you a lot but money which does matter to an extent but not when compared to the reputation you will gain as an SSC officer. MBA requires a lot more than you think. It may groom you but not ensure a better social structure like CGL.
