    The college is very Good and I would recommend to study

    Verified Review
    College Infrastructure

    The college infrastructure is very good. It has been awarded with platinum Green campus award.The staff work very hard in maintaining hygiene and cleanliness inside the campus.It has gym a , three huge canteens single and double occupancy rooms for both boys and girls and girls hostel even has a lift in it and they also have attached bathrooms

    Academics

    Academic curriculum is very strict. Atleast 80% attendance is required in each subject and overall as well otherwise there will be a grade drop.Also it is mandatory to get more than 2.5 cgpa otherwise you will not be allowed to sit for the placements and your parents will be called for your poor academic performance.We have mid term, End term and lots of quizes, assignments and projects for each subjects both individual and group

    Placements

    Placements are good and value for money.The average CTC here is 16lpa for PGDM students whereas it goes upto 20 lpa for pgpm students. Companies like Accenture, Deloitte, Infosys, JP Morgan are mass recruiters and pay a handsome amount.Also Companies like MasterCard, PayPal, Tiger Analytics also visit the campus for placements

    Value for Money

    Think it is value for money for the kind of exposure we get here in this college along with internship support and placement support makes it even better.With a green campus with trees everywhere it doesn't feel like we are in Chennai

    Campus Life

    The campus is alive all the time.we have lots of events organised by students of different clubs and committees.Also people are very friendly and easy to talk to and will come handy whenever required.

    College Infrastructure

    Amazing campus, great management. All facilities are available on campus in terms of sports and a great library for reading. Internet and AC facilities are also great. Campus is a bit remote from chennai city

    Academics

    Plenty of good faculty and curriculum is updated often to stay in touch with industry . Plenty of projects to work on, depending on how much effort you put in you can extract alot of value. Some great mentors

    Placements

    There are plenty good opportunities its on you wether you can crack or not. If you can crack the first 20-25 companies gives you a pretty good package for tier 2. Really depends on your own skills how your placement will go

    Have a question related to Great Lakes Chennai (GLIM) ?

    Hi Aspirant,

    Hope you are doing great.

    You have scored pretty well in CAT but still, great lakes put too much emphasis on your past academic performance. Your 10th and 12th marks are decent but the low performance in graduation can restrict your call from this college. Generally, the cut off of this college revolves around 85 percentile in CAT. So, there are some chances that you might get a call from this college at 89.90 percentile.


    All the best.


    Hii there! Hope you are doing good.
