PGPM has a wide variety of subjects, from which I chose to major in, coached by eminent resident and visiting faculties. What amazes me the most is that despite hectic schedules, students love to plunge in a pool of extracurricular activities, form effective student committees to taking part in B-School competitions!"

"Great Lakes, Gurgaon provided an opportunity to interact with various industry leaders who taught me to think broadly about issues we typically do not consider important in our everyday work environments. The one on one mentorship sessions have been instrumental in encouraging relentless inquisitiveness and sustained focus towards achieving individual goals."

"The program launches you smack in the middle of the fast lane and provides you all the support and guidance you’d need to keep up. You grapple to keep it all together during the fast-paced first few weeks, dusting yourself off every time you take a tumble and pressing on. Halfway into the program, as I write this, looking back at what we’ve been through, I see a different me; apart from the obvious knowledge I’ve gained, I find myself noticeably tougher, more organized in managing time, more meticulous with details and a better team worker."
