Commenting on the excellent placements for the PGDM batch, Mr. R. Shreenath, Director – Corporate & Career Services of Great Lakes Institute of Management, said, "Yet another 100% placement. This is not just a hat-trick performance for the 3rd batch of our PGDM program, but also achieved well before the graduation, with some very niche roles and across a diverse spectrum of Corporates. The compensation levels have also been excellent given that that 50% of the class is freshers and rest have less than 2 Years’ experience. Proof enough of the Corporate world’s acknowledgement of the ‘business readiness’ of our students. We are overwhelmed by the response from our Corporate partners and shall strive even harder to live upto their growing demands and expectations going forward.”
