Should I take admission in BIMTECH or try for an average Canadian university?

If you had chosen the BIMTECH Greater Noida PGDM core program, then it would have been a different story. However, we are talking about the PGDM – Insurance Business Management (PGDM-IBM) and the placements are not as good as the core PGDM program. 

The placement statistics of BIMTECH Greater Noida are given below for the batch of 2019-21.

• Number of recruiters visited – 129
• Number of new recruiters – 38
• Highest salary – INR 16 LPA
• Average salary – INR 8.07 LPA
• Median salary – INR 8 LPA
• Number of students in PGDM-IBM – 60
• Number of students who got placed in PGDM-IBM – 59
• Average salary of PGDM-IBM students – INR 8.01 LPA

IILM may not be a better brand than BIMTECH, but the program is more important than a college brand. At IILM you can do the following specializations.

• Finance
• Marketing
• Accounting
• Organizational Behavior
• Entrepreneurial Management
• Technology
• Operations, Information, and data
• Innovation and strategy
• Economics, International Business, and Public Policy
• General Management

With the PGDM-IBM course, you will be restricted only to the banking and insurance sector. The course curriculum at IILM is also good and is made in line with the Stanford Graduate School of Business, Wharton Business School, and IIM Ahmedabad. Also, you will be given a mentor who will guide you throughout your first year of studies and beyond as well.

So considering all these things, you should choose IILM over PGDM-IBM at BIMTECH Greater Noida.
