Last year we announced ‘Great Lakes has truly arrived in the big league’. Taking the same script forward this year, we are proud to be one of the first few B-schools of repute to report 100% placement. The entire batch has been placed with roles & remuneration matching the individual’s aspirations. The successful completion of the Final Placements, in such hard times, is a testimony to the faith reposed by the corporate world in Great Lakes.
