The GMBA cohort that graduated in May 2017, recorded a threefold jump in starting salaries – from Rs 7 lakh (pre-MBA) to Rs22.52 lakh on completing the programme.
Dr Indu Niranjan, dean of SP Jain’s postgraduate programmes, said alumni were “leading cross-cultural teams, growing family businesses, developing digital initiatives, incubating new ideas, working with local governments, participating in community initiatives, consulting at Fortune 500 companies and travelling across the globe. They have done extremely well in the global workplace and that is why companies believe in our model,” she adds.
In 2015, Forbes and The Economist ranked the school’s global MBA among the world’s top 10 and top 100 MBAs respectively. The institute has branches in Dubai, Mumbai, Singapore and Sydney
