What Makes Mumbai The Best Location For Your PGDM Courses

The Location of your PGDM Course DOES MATTER

When choosing institutes for management studies, one of the most underrated factors is the LOCATION. We generally consider factors like curriculum, faculty members, campus, and fee structure, not giving enough attention to the location of the institute. However, the location plays a crucial role in networking opportunities, access to industry connections, and overall quality of life during your time at the institute. Mumbai stands out as a beacon of opportunity in this quest, providing a PGDM (Post Graduate Diploma in Management) experience that is unmatched. Let’s explore the many benefits that attending a PGDM course in Mumbai might offer your career.

Networking Opportunities

Networking is very necessary for a successful career. 70% of job openings that are not posted on any job search platforms, and almost 85% of vacancies get filled via networking. The best colleges offering PGDM courses in Mumbai provide students with effective tips and techniques they can use to create an effective professional network and build good relationships.

At Thakur Global Business School, you will have multiple opportunities to network with industry experts. For example, you can network with experts during workshops, guest sessions, master classes, and industry visits. They can network with alumni through alumni portals or during alumni talks. These relationships not only broaden one’s professional horizons but also provide opportunities for mentorship, internships, and well-paying jobs after graduation.

Great Internship Opportunities

Advantages of Internships

Research found that almost 68% of interns get an offer for a full-time job from the company they interned for. At TGBS, you have to work as an intern during the third semester. Being in Mumbai, you have no reason to worry about finding good internships, as you are surrounded by top organisations and emerging start-ups. You can choose the organisation you want to work for according to your career goals and apply your PGDM course syllabus knowledge to practical application. For example, if you want to work for big industry names, you can apply to one of the many Fortune 500 companies located in Mumbai; on the other hand, if you want all-round skill development, you must apply to start-ups.

During your internships, build good relationships with the manager, team leads, and your colleagues. This will not only help you during your internship but also open doors for job opportunities after the completion of your PGDM course in Mumbai

Great Career Opportunities

Career

If you don’t complete your PGDM course in major cities in Mumbai, there is a high possibility that you might have to move out of the city in search of a high paying job from top organisations. In Mumbai, however, there are numerous multinational companies and reputable firms that offer great career opportunities to PGDM graduates, making it a prime location for those seeking professional growth and success. Additionally, the networking opportunities and exposure to diverse industries in Mumbai can greatly enhance your career prospects and lead to long-term success.

Diversity and Cultural Richness

You’ll find students from the east, north, and south. Students encounter a wide range of ideas, experiences, and viewpoints here, fostering their success in a multicultural workplace.

Good Places to Relax

Examinations, studies, projects, workshops, and internships can be stressful for students, but Mumbai has got you covered. There are numerous places where you can go and relax with your friends. From serene beaches like Juhu and Marine Drive to vibrant cafes and restaurants in Bandra and Colaba, Mumbai offers a variety of options for students to unwind and recharge. Additionally, the city’s bustling nightlife scene provides a perfect opportunity to let loose and have some fun after a long day of hard work.
