Hello Vikram,
Since you have done b.tech, you can go for GME course. For that, you need to give IMU CET, or direct admission to colleges, depending on their policies.
This is very good article, i got details about each campus at one place 🙂 thank u.
You mentioned 'merchant academy having good placement records' in one comment on this page. Can you pls tell which ones are the best ? I heard IMU kolkata is the best? What rank do i need to get in exam to get the best college?
Hello Avisha,
Well Yes, IMU Kolkata no doubt is very good. But other institutes like tolani, samundra etc have good placement records. But a candidates should personally check, the records before coming to any conclusion, as market is flooded with cadets these days. Under 200 rank is good.
