Is MDI Gurgaon worth spending 16 lacs in fees?

If your priority is good placement opportunities and an excellent alumni network, Management Development Institute (MDI), Gurgaon is a good option to consider. MDI was established in collaboration with several global institutions like UNDP, UNIDO, World Bank, and ILO, with initial support from KfW, West Germany, and IFCI. MDI is the first business school in India to receive accreditation from the Association of MBAs (AMBA). The faculty at MDI is of high quality, and there is an excellent learning culture, which gives you plenty of opportunities to enjoy your time while studying. If you are searching for the best B-school in India in terms of placement, ROI, infrastructure, alumni network, faculty, and other factors, MDI Gurgaon always ranks between 5 to 10. Other top-ranked B-schools in India include IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta, XLRI, SPJIMR, IIM K, IIM I, SJMSOM IIT Bombay, and many others. If you are searching for B-schools ranked by placement, the top schools include IIM A, IIM B, IIM C, FSM Delhi, SPJIMR, MDI G, XLRI, IIFT, IIM K, and NMIMS Mumbai. By considering your priorities and looking at various rankings and factors, you can make an informed decision about which B-school is the best fit for you.

Should I go for MDI Gurgaon, if I am already earning 7lpa keeping in mind the fees, and are the placements good enough to cover my opportunity cost for the 2 years?

If you are already earning a salary as high as INR 71 LPA, I don’t think an MBA from MDI Gurgaon will do you any good. If you have decided on going for an MBA nevertheless, target the top B Schools like IIM A, IIM B, IIM C, XLRI, FMS, or IIM L. Choosing MDI for MBA is recommended only if you have offers from average B Schools like new IIMs, SPJIMR, NITIE, etc. So first you need to get maximum calls from the top B Schools only then can you make a wise and informed decision.

Is MDI GURGAON a good option for an MBA executive program?

MDI Gurgaon is a great choice for an executive MBA program and is at par with other top-tier schools like IIM A, B, C, L, IIFT, FMS, XLRI, and IIT Delhi DMS. The 3-year executive MBA program for working professionals is extremely good, with the same course and faculty as that of the full-time one-year executive MBA and two-year full-time residential MBA program. It's an excellent institute and is even better than some of the newer IIMs. However, it's important to note that the fees for the 3-year executive MBA program at MDI Gurgaon have increased enormously over the last few years and are almost 10 lakhs. If you're looking for other options, IIM Lucknow's Noida campus also offers a similar 3-year executive MBA program with fees of Rs 10 lakhs, and classes are held on weekends and weekdays. IIFT Delhi is another option that offers a similar 3-year executive MBA program with fees of Rs 6.5 lakhs and classes on weekends. IIT Delhi also offers a similar 3-year executive MBA program with fees of Rs 4.10 lakhs, with classes on weekdays. FMS Executive MBA has fees of Rs 1 lakh only. It's important to choose your education loan wisely, especially when considering the high fees for some of these programs. Make sure to do your research and compare the options before making a decision.

What are the placement prospects for a NMP program from MDI Gurgaon?

The NMP program of MDI is a well-known program that was initiated in the year 1988. The program is best suitable for Young Managers. Coming to the placement part, most of the students choosing this program are sponsored by the company they were working at and hence have to join back their company once their program is completed. The general placements are also decent with around 70% placement percentage. But placements depend mostly on the knowledge gained and implemented in your job. Your performance throughout the program determines your placement.

How do the new HR programs of IIM Ranchi, NMIMS, and XIMB measure up to the established ones of XLRI, TISS, MDI and SCMHRD?

The simple answer to your question is no, the new HR programs of IIM Ranchi, NMIMS, or XIMB are not at par with the established ones XLRI, TISS, MDI, and SCMHRD. The established programs especially that of XLRI are the epitome of HR programs. They cannot be compared to the new ones at any given level or parameter. Faculty: The professors of XLRI are renowned throughout the industry for their competency. They specialize in almost every domain one can think of be it Law, Competency Modeling, Compensation, or Performance Management. Peers: It’s the cream students who get the opportunity to get into a prestigious college like XLRI. You can see tough competition between the finest students at college. Every individual has a valuable opinion and stands to contradict others. Their thinking pattern is broad and given a case study, they look at all angles from accounting to finance to laws while proposing the solution. The situation at TISS is also quite similar. Now one can say that the curriculum can be replicated and learned faculty can be sought to match the quality of the HR program at these institutes. But the truth is faculty and curriculum are the main but not the only factors that determine an institutes worth. Its own culture, ethics, and background have a lot to do with the programs it offers. So one cannot match XLRIs programs no matter how much they try.

Should I go for a PGPM in MDI Gurgaon or for IIM L ABM?

Go for the IIM Lucknow ABM program only if you are sincerely inclined towards agri. If not then choosing ABM will limit your career prospects considerably and you might even regret it later. MDI Gurgaon PGDM is one of the oldest programs that have great value. MDI Gurgaon can easily be called the country’s best B School.

How long did it take you to recover the fees paid for PGPM of MDI Gurgaon?

I asked a friend about the time it took him to pay back the loan he had taken to pursue PGDM at MDI Gurgaon. An estimate revealed 5-7 years. However this is subject to change as not everyone receives the same package. Currently, MDI Gurgaon PGDM fees is ?23.47 Lakhs. On comparing this with the average package INR 26.65 LPA, we can say that the fees can be easily paid within 5 years time considering the interest and additional expenses. But tell me is getting an equivalent package the only way to recover the fees. Is it not recovered through the knowledge you have gained, the various experiences and the gateway to success. One can never repay back the fees in reality.

All About MDI

The canteen, college life, sharma ji and jha ji parathe, alot of events.
Fests, college events, professors, the instructure is also beautiful

1.5 hours of class because the attention span is very less for humans
Too much construction is being done right now spoiling the scenic beauty

I think the course curriculum at MDI is quite extensive and useful although a lot of emphasis on grades are not given. But alot of knowledge is imparted and that is something that helps in getting the practical knowledge instead of just theoretical. MDI has some really good courses and some faculties are also fun and very knowledgeable. The classes are of 1.5 hours and the duration of exams depends upon different subjects same is with the difficulty level of exam. One thing that can be improved is the timing of classes should be reduced a little so as to not distract students. Because 1.5 hours attention span is difficult

The brand name MDI stands for the college itself
The fee structure here is very minimal as compared to the same tier colleges

The location here is the biggest issue which I have faced
As the college is only 10 years old the alumni base is not that strong

For my decision to choose this course will be that I consult with senior and they suggest me to that the course that offered in MDI Murshidabad .And yes most of the teaching will be on practical learning so that helps to apply that learning in real world.if I suggest most of it are good but one or two points will be there that have to improve is that is Managerial communication subject would be online in our session so it will be offline so that put more value . Yes so we are in MBA. So it will be always hectic and we have to give two exams every day so and most of the exam would be on case study based.

Is MDIM Worth the Hype? A No-Nonsense Review

4.7Helpful

Placement process, Placement culture are the two major backbone for this college.
Course curriculum and it's relevance with the industry.

Location is a major factor for me in the initial times but when we explored the place this place has a lot of potentials in terms of sustainable industries.
More in depth knowledge about domain specific subjects for those who have more interest.

Before answering this question let me tell one basic thing why people do MBA or PGDM courses like professional career course. A major section of people pursue an MBA or PGDM because of getting a job. Straight and simple. Now whether MDIM's course curriculum is apt for placement and industry standard or not. Answer is YES. Here it is more practical than theory-based learning. The entire course of each term is distributed so well that at the end of term 3 you will ready for your internship journey. Activity-based learning and practical approach are the best thing in the course curriculum in terms of relevance and comprehensiveness.

Faculties are very helpful. You can even ask your doubts while they are having their walk in the campus.
Security and environment of the campus is nice.

Wifi doesn't work properly due to some mishapened last month
We didn't get subscription for any software like Microsoft 365,spss .

I would rate 4.5 out of 5 our course curriculum in terms of relevance and comprehensiveness. It includes all aspects of practical learning with case study discussion in the classes that helps us to be ready for the real world scenario. The area that needs some improvement are IT infrastructure more softwares can be utilised to be more efficient in tecahing and AI courses should also be introduced. There are three semesters per year and for per semester there is two exams whose difficulty level is decent if you focuses in the class you will score good marks.
