GIM placements has gathered a lot of notice this year, with more than 40% of the graduates landing packages of more than 9 Lakhs per annum. A number of companies have recruited with a package well in double digits. Prominent recruiters include JP Morgan, HCL, Cognizant, HDFC, eClerx, HSBC, Wipro Technologies, Infosys, Deloitte, and KPMG.
GIM broke into the Outlook top-20 rankings last year (19th), and the institute climbed a phenomenal 18 places to break into the top-25 of Business Today rankings in just 2 years (Ranked 42 in 2011, and ranked 24 in 2013). It is also amongst the 'Top 25' in the rankings published by The Week. This has been one of the reasons why GIM has attracted an impressive talent pool of students over the years.
GIM's recent rise to the Top 20 rankings in the last couple of years can also be attributed to infrastructure, since most of the prestigious rankings take into account the infrastructural setup of a management institute. In 2010, GIM moved from the Ribandar area of Goa, to a new state-of-the-art campus located at Sanquelim. This new campus is located on a sprawling 50-acre plot surrounded by the idyllic foothills of the Western Ghats. To say the least, this leads to a learning environment that is conducive to a high-quality education. On one hand, the natural beauty is relaxing and offers the students a good atmosphere for their education; on the other hand, GIM uses this new infrastructural setup to ensure the best education that an institute can offer.
