There is no management quota.
I would recommend you to visit
http://www.greatlakes.edu.in/programs-pgdm/pgdm_admission_process.php that gives the procedure for last batch.


The process will be similar for the next batch except that the dates will differ

Kindly visit our website for the placement details of last year for PGPM.
And, PGDM has been introduced this year itself.

You would need a letter of recommendation from your manager in the organization you are working in.

Hello,

For freshers, you might obtain letters of recommendations from your teachers or contacts in the industry or society.

The cut-off scores will be relative for each batch. As such, there is no cut-off score.
The cut-off will depend on the scores of the applicants pool and the work experience.

PGDM has been introduced this year itself.
