MDI, Gurgaon - a Solid 4 Star B-School

Fees and Financial Aid:

I think the fees of every MBA college has increased along with its batch size. This is disappointing, considering the fact that the job market has been abysmal. The fee hike for the 2 years (incl. hostel+food) @ MDI has been approx 1 lakh rupees. While I am unaware of the exact scholarship claiming avenues available at MDI, I think need-based scholarships are available here and on other sources. I think that the fees across HR and PGDM is the same, while PGDM IB is costly, with the iverall wxpenses lying between 40-45 lakhs range.

MDI Murshidabad a Place you can think to come of.

There are total 6 installments for paying the fees within 2 years. Initially in order to confirm the admission one has to pay 1,50,000 for the confirmation and remaining 1,50,000 when the first install date arrives. The installments due dat basically arrives after every 3 months. Talking about the other expenses, the total fees of the college is 14,50,000 which is inclusive of Tution fees, security deposits, Fooding and Lodging and other expenses as well. Coming on to the scholarship part, if a students categorise under unreserved category and have scored more than 90 percentile in CAT then they are eligible for a total tution fee deduction, whereas students that are from north east also get similar offer it they are having good academics record throughout.

Courses offered - Options for electives on the basis of specialisation are quite less for a Tier 1 college

Total program fees paid for PGDM (2 year course) from 2022-2024 was 24,00,000 INR. The fees is same irresepctive of the category of student. There are scholarships provided on the basis of Merit (calculated on the basis of CGPA) and merit cum need. There are 2 other programs - PGHRM, and PGDM-IB. The fees for PGHRM is the same as PGDM (24 Lakh INR for the full course). The fees for PGDM-IB (International Business) is around 30 Lakh INR (other additional components like Visa, and hostel fees for the International college are seperate). Hostel / stay fees is not included in this. The total program fees covers all components like Tuition fees, security deposit, hostel fees, educational resources fees for PGDM and PGHRM. For these 2 courses, the fees is paid in 2 installments (paid at the time of admission and at the commencement of 2nd year).
