The verdict
Strong fit
IIM Lucknow’s PGP is a no-brainer if you’re chasing consulting, finance, or product leadership. With a NIRF #7 tag, 100% placements, and a recruiter list that reads like a who’s-who of McKinsey, BCG, Amazon and Goldman Sachs, the ROI is solid. The catch? You need a killer CAT percentile and the ability to swing ₹14.16L. If both boxes are ticked, this is a strong_fit.
