GHS-IMR - Best college for PGDM Program in Kanpur with International Industrial Tour (Dubai)

The best thing about this college is that being in Kanpur city provides great exposure to practical knowledge of Business Studies and an International Industrial Tour in Dubai. The faculty members at the institute have proficiency in their subject area and they relate the subjects with industry and the corporate world very well. The bad thing is that the total fee for the course is a bit high. For taking admission in GHS-IMR firstly one should clear the MAT Entrance Exam and then further clear the 2 rounds of the selection process that is written test and Personal Interview. The overall process may take two to three days. I preferred this college because it is one of the reputed institutes by the JK Organization in Kanpur City and it provides international exposure. I selected this college from website " www.ghsimr.ac.in" .

The PGDM program is divided into 6 trimesters with 3 trimesters in both 1st & 2nd Year each. The course curriculum for marketing includes subjects such as Marketing Management, Service Marketing, Sales Management, Strategic Brand Management, Digital Marketing and Retail Management. The first two-three trimesters also have additional subjects like French Language and Liberal Arts for all specializations. The faculty-student ratio is excellent. Due to less strength of the students, each student is being provided one to one high level guidance by their faculty mentor. GHS-IMR faculty is highly qualified & experienced and uses a combination of various teaching methods such as cases, projects, independent studies, group discussions, lectures, seminars, presentations by students and guest lectures from different industries. Term Exams were held timely and it was not difficult for me to pass as I attended the lectures regularly.

But still, our college has given the opportunity of Internship from Kanpur Plastipack Limited and a Live Project from Lohia Corp.

I had gone through two rounds of the selection process that is the Written Test and Personal Interview Round. The written test included questions like What changes would you like to see in yourself after 5 years or after completing this course? or Where do you see yourself after 5 or 10 years? My Personal Interview round was taken by the Director of the Institute and he asked general questions about me and my future goals and even he also provided me with guidance and tips to improve my interpersonal skills and personality. If anyone wants to prepare himself/herself for these selection rounds then he/she should know everything about his/her own personality, goals, dreams, career path, strengths, weaknesses, etc,
