    College Infrastructure

    The whole campus consist of some new buildings and old buildings but both are properly renovated. The college has its own medical team which looks after the health of students which is quite rare in B-schools. Hostel rooms are good with an accommodation facility of 1 and 2 students per room.

    Excellent college if you want to do a PGDM course.

    College Infrastructure

    It is one of the finest courses, and it is very well-blended with the management course, rural areas and their social and behaviour. Hostel and the whole infrastructure are good. The mess department is also managed by students, and it feels like a well-managed organisation. Single room per student. 60 acre campus with state of art infrastructure.

    Hi Sagnik,

    Hope you are doing well !

    So, NMIMS Bangalore, FORE School, GIM, and IRMA all are good colleges. every college has their own set of pros. In my opinion GIM would be the most sought after B-School among others. GIM has a great exposure, as it is located near Mumbai(Financial capital of the country), it also has a nice brand value to itself. The faculties come from really reputed MNC's, and are well qualified. The alumni base of GIM is also very good.

    However, it's fees is really high as compared to it's average placements, which reduces the ROI. but none the less, overall, it is a really great B-School, and is doing really well in terms of placements.

    Hope the above answer was helpful.
