Should you pick PGDM Executive at IMT Ghaziabad?

This course suits working people who want to move into a manager role in a consulting or services firm.

Pick it if:
You want a consulting or IT services role: Accenture, Deloitte, EY, KPMG and Genpact are on this course's recruiter list, and alumni from earlier batches now work there.
You want to study abroad for a while: every student spends a term at KEDGE Business School in France as part of the course.
You want a small batch: the course has 60 seats, so the placement team works with a small group and every student is known.
You have five or more years of work: that matches the usual batch, so your profile sits in the middle, not at the bottom.
Skip it if:
You want a top offer far above the average: the highest offer was INR 25.25 LPA against an average of INR 19.11 LPA, so offers stay close together.
You are paying the full fee yourself: at INR 22.35 Lakhs against an average pay of INR 19.11 LPA, the fee takes more than one working year to come back.
You cannot leave your job by December: online classes start in Dec 2026 and you must join the campus by Jan 2027.
You have under three years of full-time work: you do not meet the rule this year, so apply for a later batch.
Counsellor's advice
If your score is valid and you have five or more years of work, apply before the GMAT date in Oct 2026. If you have three to four years of work, keep a second college in your plan until the offer comes.
