Is GIM Goa actually worth 25 Lakhs now? The average at 15 LPA feels a bit low for that high of a fee.
-
You have to look at the "BDA" (Big Data Analytics) program specifically. The averages there are much higher than the general PGDM. If you're into tech-management, that ROI makes much more sense.

I'm stuck between IMT Ghaziabad for Marketing and IMI Delhi. The fees are roughly the same, but IMI's average seems slightly higher this year. Any advice?
-
If your goal is FMCG or Brand Management, IMT's legacy in Marketing is still slightly ahead. However, for Fintech or Consulting, IMI’s location in Delhi gives it a massive networking edge. Look at the "Sector-wise split" on our blog for a deeper dive.

IIT Madras placements vs their fees is almost criminal. Why are we even chasing IIM babies when this exists?
