General PGDM-DCP Enquiry Answers:
1) Program Specifications are all the same - The only and avery big added advantage is that its a general degree program - That is unlike PGDM-xx you can have 2 specialisations, like I had Marketing and Economic Strategy.
2) The Average placements are average. The college will tell you the average figures officially for all programs. It is a part of the IPRS process. The figure should be over and above 9 for freshers. People with work-ex get a be higher and should be 10-11+ easily.
3) Some Names who recruited from DCP - Samsung, Aircel, Nomura, HCL, HDFC, Tata, Max New York Life, Emami, GE, Deloitte, Ashok Leyland, Axis, Barclays, Bajaj, IDBI.
4) Profiles given: Risk Analysts, Business Analysts Brand Management, Investment Banking, Sales, Operations Strategy, Consulting, Strategic Management (HCL), Human Resource Managers.
The Bad: You miss out on first year at IMT-G, so the first year bonding is less. you miss out on national level competitions in India but then a lot of you will be too busy in the first year. You don't get to know the professors at imt-g in the first year itself.
The Good: You get easier access to Dubai Based companies. Also PPO conversions seem to be a lot easier in Dubai than in India because of the supply-demand gap. We almost had a 100% ppo conversion in Dubai baring one guy. The campus at imt-d is top notch and campus is amidst a lot of buss. The dubai government takes a lot of initiative to make sure that the level of interaction amongst all the international students in the area remains really high. You get to be taught by some very good faculty who have international standing and the news is that for your batch more profs are being taken in from Dubai area itself which is very big boon.
The Ultimate Truth - You in the GD + You in the Interview. The hirer doesnt care for the course, he cares for the guy - He absolutely cares for his background and how good he has been, how good he is right now and how good he can be.
