course fee mentioned as Rs.9.75 lacs (tutition,library,alumni,computer,books and accomodation) and for family accomodation it has been mentioned as Rs.1.25 lacs.
If a candidate is opting for family accomodation,whether corresponding amount of Rs.1.25 lacs will be deductible under the component of Rs.9.75 lacs?or this 1.25 lacs is extra?
1.25 lacs is extra. This you will need to pay before. However if rooms are available then all candidate gets single accommodation, in this case this amount may be reimbursed as it happened in may case this year. But this is subjected to availability of flats and IIMB discretion.
Hello Group,
I am looking forward to apply to this program. However, I do have queries regarding placements statistics for open candidates. I have gone through the brochure,however it is devoid of the required statistics.
Hence, please provide some inputs regarding post PGPPM opportunities,Average and Median Salaries and Alumni Career progression.
Thank you beforehand.
Sincerely,
Amit Ganguly
Dear Amit,
The programme was opened for open candidate only 3 years back. Previously, open candidates were from PSUs and they have wend back to their work place. One of them is in SEBI. One of them has started his own ventures name modern family doctor.
Last year batches is the 1st batch who are looking for placement. Some of them has got the job and they are working. After this course you can expect job in consultancy in Government verticals and leading Not for profit organisations.
Since there has not been many candidate and it has recently started for open candidates, hence you will not get any reliable statistics.
Hello Srawan,
Thank you for your insight. It will be great if prospective students can be connected with existing students and Alumni,in my case,preferably from Open Candidate profile.
Since, making a career change in Public Policy domain is a definitive move it will help me to make an informed decision. My only apprehension is existing opportunities post PGPPM and how many candidates have faired well to secure jobs post PGPPM.
Thank you beforehand.
Sincerely,
Amit Ganguly
