It gives me immense pleasure to introduce you to the vibrant PGPM batch of 2010 of Great Lakes, christened "The Patriots". This group of 261 individuals come from diverse backgrounds and collectively constitute a huge resource that is very enthusiastic, keen on learning and the potentially the best in the business. Over the years Great Lakes Institute of Management has recorded an impressive placement record, which could not have been possible without the efforts and support of its students, along with a great faculty base and pedagogy. These students are rejuvenated and reinforced to take up new challenges and our belief has always been "to mould ourselves as the environment changes and also be proactive and pick up the signals and thus the interpretations" as is evident from the successful placement of the batch of 2009, even during these times of economic downturn. This has ensured that we constantly evaluate our approach to be the best and have always strived to build leaders.

Hence, we are proud to state that we have retained our record of 100% placements- irrespective of the flux in the economic environment and allied changes.

The median CAT score of the current batch is 96.8 percentile and the median GMAT score is 690. The average work experience of this batch is more than 3 years and they generally have prior experience in top companies like Air India, Adobe Systems, Armed Forces, Bajaj Auto, BPCL, Caterpillar, Capgemini, Cognizant, CSC, EMC Corporation, Franklyn Covey , Frost & Sullivan, GM, HCC, HCL, HSBC, IBM, Idea, Infosys, JP Morgan Chase KPMG, L&T, Motorola, Mastek, Nortel, Oracle, Reliance, Robert Bosch, Satyam, Siemens, TCS, Watson Wyatt and Wipro etc. Considering such a diverse background, we can say that this batch of PATRIOTS will be highly resourceful and will be equipped with distinct capabilities for global leadership and as earlier, companies that hire them will stand to benefit from the talent we have to offer.

These "Business Ready" managers with "Global mindsets and Indian roots", with fire in their bellies are ready to face the challenges that corporations are facing with and will thus, definitely deliver great value to your stakeholders".

Now with the inauguration of the new "green campus", we have ensured that not a single stone is unturned for the complete development of all our students from "being good" to being the "best" in the industry. With pedagogical inputs from in-house world class faculty and those drawn from top International B-Schools, such as Kellogg, Stanford, Harvard, Chicago, Columbia, Yale, Sloan, etc. besides premier Indian ones like IIM-A, IIM-B, IIM-C, TISS, XLRI, S.P.Jain, etc., the students get ample opportunity to hone their skills and potential, to deliver great "VALUE".

Additionally, through "KARMA YOGA" they have been sensitized to the happenings at the grassroots level in India.
