Hi Friends,

Am having 6 years IT experience from a top service company, applying for Great Lakes . Not sure should I apply only for Chennai Campus(as its the best campus) or the for both Chennai and Gurgaon , as applying for both campuses increases my chance of admission. The issue is many of the GL alumni I got in touch told me that , with 6 years experienced its tough to get placed during the campus placement , Chennai will be better optionand Gurgaon won't be able to get placement for 5-6 years + experienced. Though very few Gurgaon people said its not entirely true but package will be 20% lesser and less brand value than GL Chennai. So am pretty confused, any suggestion will help.

With passing time me doing an MBA is getting tougher and tougher it seems.

Regards,
An Aspirant

Hi Jai,

Even I am having more than 5 years of work experience in a Market and Technology Research. I am not sure that having more experience would be disadvantage in campus placements as I am also looking to apply in GLIM PGPM program both Chennai and Gurgaon Campus.

I am also having the same confusion and seems like with passing time doing an MBA is getting tougher and tougher. If you (Jai91) or anyone could provide any suggestion or clear this apprehension it would be great.

Thanks.
