Which one should I choose, PGPM Great Lakes, SIIB Pune or NMIMS Hyderabad?

You should choose PGPM Great Lakes. The course curriculum is good and it has gained momentum over the last few years. The institute offers good placements. Great Lakes Chennai average package during 2022 placements was INR 12.5 LPA. The average CTC increased 13% this year. 

If you are interested in International Business, SIIB is a good option as well. 

Based on what I heard from my friends at these institutes, I will say choose GLIM PGDM. The course is great and over the years it gained popularity. SIIB will also be a good option if you plan to major in international business.

For placement wise GLIM offers you a wide range of companies from much-diversified backgrounds for a 2 years program, unlike the 1 year where a majority of IT companies visit. You will receive the same placement opportunities as the PGPM program as the school allows PGDM guys to sit for companies for PGPM unless specified by the company on an experience basis. Here are the recent placement highlights for GLIM PGDM.

Your preference order should be GLIM PGPM> SIIB> NMIMS Hyderabad based on the overall ranking, brand values, and placements.
