Hi,
I am Bruno Nellissery, a Great Lakes Institute Of Management Alumnus (Class of 2019). Before joining PGPM at Great Lakes, I was working in the IT industry in a support function for nearly 6 years. I have transitioned to a career in Marketing and I now am a part of the Admissions and Marketing team, and I handle Content Marketing at Great Lakes as my primary area of responsibility. All those who want to know more about Great Lakes and wish to participate in the Admission Process for PGPM and PGDM Intake 2021 (Application Deadline for Cycle 1: 22nd November, 2020), may use this forum to post their queries.
I also have with me ashishsamant2311 and Shreya9816 who are current PGPM 2022 studens to assist you with any query you may have.
Candidates with 2 or more than 2 years of experience can apply to the PGPM.
Candidates with no experience or less than 2 years of experience can apply to the PGDM.
Would be delighted to help you through your MBA journey!
Also, I’m a GMAT 730 scorer. So if anyone has any GMAT related queries, especially related to preparing for the test and reference material, you can get in touch with me on a personal message or over the phone.

For either of the campuses, you hold a good profile in the three aspects - academic, professional, and extra curricular. Be sure to mention your research papers, awards at work and your content creation stint with elaborate details in your application form and in the Essay as well, wherever these achievements fit. There's more than one place to mention your biggest achievements on the application form. So craft it well, and do not leave out the rest of your achievements either. Your score is also within the safe range expected. You can go ahead and apply in Cycle 1. All the best.
