PGPEM from Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (2018)

Every stream of MBA has its own set of learning and outcomes. It is always your choice on how you will learn from the course and make the best use of it in your career.

The points below give a brief overview of the Postgraduate program in enterprise management, offered by IIM Bangalore.

PGPEM is similar to the PGP and is equally tough in the curriculum. The course requirement is also quite similar to the PGP.
PGPEM will act as a career enhancer for you. Considering the chances of a proper career change after the course, there is a subjective answer for the same. If you are willing to take a risk can surely have a change for good.
If you don’t want to take the risk of a change, there are fewer chances of success, mostly due to the lack of campus placement.
The course structure is the reason for a lack of campus placement. It is because the students are already experienced and are not at all looking for a career switch. They are already settled in properly rewarding jobs.
In the batch of PGPEM at IIM Bangalore, at least 20% of students end up doing totally different things from what they started their career in. For the rest, they have a good career progression in their existing jobs.

Therefore, you should choose the course correctly, having all classified information about the course and its outcomes. It is very much essential because the right attitude can ensure a sure path to success in the industry.
