The first intake was for 127 students for its one-year programme and classes were held in a small rented building in [[Saidapet]], a residential neighbourhood in Chennai city. Great Lakes developed a new greenfield campus at Manamai village near [[Mahabalipuram]], a [[UNESCO Heritage Site]] 50&nbsp;km south of Chennai, and shifted to this campus in 2009.{{Citation needed|date=August 2021}}

The regulatory body for technical and management education in India, [[AICTE]], also did not have a provision for approving one-year programmes. However, Great Lakes received approval for its PGPM from AICTE, the first instance of an approval for a one-year programme in the country.
