Should you pick Dual Country at IMT Ghaziabad?
This course suits graduates who want to study and seek internships in India and Dubai.
Pick it if:
You want banking or consulting roles: the Dual Country recruiter list includes HSBC, ICICI Bank and Deloitte, so inspect their actual job descriptions.
You want more than a short overseas visit: the published course plan places the middle terms and summer internship in Dubai.
Your family needs tuition support: IMT asks income-based waiver applicants to select the scheme in the admission form before its deadline.
Skip it if:
You need the highest offer to repay your loan: the course median is INR 16 LPA, far below its highest offer of INR 46.17 LPA.
You need every class beside your hostel: first-year men use a college shuttle from a separate hostel to the Ghaziabad academic campus.
Your budget cannot change after admission: the Dubai charges are in dirhams, so currency changes can raise the INR total before bank charges.
Counsellor's advice
If you want the Dubai study period, ask IMT for the campus plan and the complete payment schedule before accepting. Keep extra funds for currency changes and travel.
