its interesting how Great Lakes is trying to prove its worth by pulling down other institutes. And these claims as usual are suspect. Pathetic attempt

@Ashu,

What is the basis of making such a comment….i fail to understand…..i am a student from the 2009 batch and i can take u thru the individuals who are placed there along with their packages….

We have shown that we can place students in a recession……its much better to acknowledge than cry sour grapes…..we have arrived and we are here to stay….
