According to Great Lakes, the program has a clear focus on Emerging Economies and their growth.

The PGDM is an AICTE approved program and has been streamlined with inputs from the Institutes illustrious Business Advisory Council, to keep it in sync with the needs of an ever changing market place.

On behalf of the institute, the following people will be taking your queries:

1. Jayaprakash, PG User name: jaya prakash

Hi Knox,

At Great Lakes, we take a look at the holistic profile of a candidate. Given that, this is only the academic profile you have offered us :)

On the academic front, your profile looks decent, though a higher entrance score would give you better chances.

For the Great Lakes programs, anyone having more than 24 months of experience is not eligible for PGDM but is sure eligible for PGPM.

Hi Vampire,

Anyone having more than 24 months of work experience is not eligible for the PGDM course. The candidate is eligible for PGPM course 😃
