Should you pick PGDM at MDI Murshidabad?
This course suits students who want a sales, marketing or banking job and can live on a quiet campus for two years.
Pick it if:
You want a sales or marketing job: marketing roles took 63.8% of the 2026 offers, and banks and finance firms made the most offers.
You want a room of your own: every PGDM student lives on campus in a single room with a balcony, from the first year.
Your family can pay only in parts: the fee is taken in three parts, and the biggest part is due in May of the second year.
Your CAT percentile is between 65 and 75: the call cutoff was 65 in 2024 and 2025, so you can still get a call here.
Skip it if:
You want a finance or consulting job: finance roles took only 12.6% of the 2026 offers, so most students here go into sales and marketing.
You want internships in a big city: the campus is in a small place in Murshidabad district, so the placement cell brings in most companies.
You are counting on a high package: the average fell from INR 12.75 LPA in 2025 to INR 10.93 LPA in 2026.
You will wait for other results first: the first fee part is due soon after the offer, so ask what comes back before you pay.
Counsellor's advice
Take this seat if your CAT percentile clears 65 and you want a sales, marketing or banking job. If you want a finance or consulting job, keep a college with more finance offers above it.

Will your CAT score get you a call from MDI Murshidabad?
Pick your exam and your degree marks. The cutoff ranges are the percentile call cutoffs of past years.
Your exam
Degree marks
CAT · 50% or more
75 or more: yes, you clear the call cutoff of every year from 2021 to 2025.
65 to 74.99: a call is likely, as the cutoff was 65 in 2024 and 2025, but it was 75 before that.
Below 65: not this year. The call cutoff has not gone below 65 since 2021.
CAT · Below 50%
Not yet: the institute needs 50% in your degree, and in Class 10 and 12, whatever your CAT score.
XAT · 50% or more
75 or more: yes, you are well above the XAT call cutoff of 65 used in 2024 and 2025.
65 to 74.99: yes on the 2024 and 2025 cutoff of 65, but with little room, so the selection round decides.
Below 65: not this year. The XAT call cutoff was 65 in 2024 and 2025.
XAT · Below 50%
Not yet: the institute needs 50% in your degree, and in Class 10 and 12, whatever your XAT score.
EDITOR'S NOTE
The call cutoff only gets you to the selection round. The offer depends on that round and your full profile, so a score just above 65 is a call, not a seat.

In short
IMI Bhubaneswar pays more on average, but its call cutoff is 15 points higher. If your CAT percentile is 80 or more, list IMI Bhubaneswar first; if not, MDI Murshidabad is the seat you can reach.
In short
IMT Nagpur has a bigger batch and higher pay, and its fee already includes hostel and mess. If you clear its cutoff of 75, list IMT Nagpur first; if not, take the MDI Murshidabad seat.
In short
Jaipuria Lucknow is easier to get into and has more seats, but it costs more and gives no average pay. If MDI Murshidabad makes you an offer, take it and keep Jaipuria Lucknow as your backup.

FAQs on MDI Murshidabad PGDM
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is the PGDM at MDI Murshidabad worth the fee?▾
Yes, if you want a sales, marketing or banking job and can pay the fee. The full fee without hostel is INR 13.46 Lakhs and the Class of 2026 averaged INR 10.93 LPA, so the ROI tile shows 81% in a year. If a loan will pay the fee, read the EMI line in the fee block before you decide.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most students get sales and marketing jobs. Marketing roles took 63.8% of the 2026 offers, and banks and finance firms made the most offers, with roles like sales manager, key account manager and business analyst. If you want a finance or consulting job, this campus gives fewer of those, so plan your electives and internship for it.
Should I join if my CAT percentile is just above 65?▾
You can expect a call, but not a sure seat. The call cutoff was 65 percentile in 2024 and 2025, and the offer then depends on the selection round. Prepare well for that round, and keep one more college in your list in case the offer does not come.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you want a finance or consulting job, or internships in a big city. Finance roles took only 12.6% of the 2026 offers, and the campus is in a small place in Murshidabad district. If either matters more to you than the fee, pick a college in a city with more finance offers.
Is this course good for a finance job?▾
Only partly. Finance roles took 12.6% of the 2026 offers, against 63.8% for marketing. You can still choose Finance electives in year 2, but plan a finance summer internship too, because that is what most finance recruiters look at.
Will I get a placement if my grades are low?▾
Most likely, but it may take longer. In the Class of 2025, 148 of 180 students were placed, which is 82%, so some students did not get a campus job. Keep your grades up from Term I and use the summer internship to get a job offer early.
Should I wait a year for a better CAT score?▾
Only if you are sure you can raise it by a lot. The call cutoff here was 65 percentile in 2024 and 2025, so a small rise will not change much for this college. If you already have an offer here and want a sales or marketing job, take the seat now.
Is the campus location right for internships?▾
It works if you use the placement cell. The campus is in Murshidabad district, far from a big city, so you cannot find internships nearby on your own. The placement cell brings companies to campus for the summer internship, so apply through it and keep your CV ready by Term II.
How do I get admission to MDI Murshidabad PGDM?▾
Write CAT, or use a valid XAT or GMAT score. Then fill the institute form, which costs INR 1,770, and wait for the shortlist. If you are called, clear the selection round and pay the first fee part by the date in your offer letter, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 2-year fee is INR 13.46 Lakhs without hostel and INR 16.26 Lakhs with hostel and mess. Every student lives on campus, so the hostel figure is what you will really pay. The security deposit of INR 20,000 is extra and comes back when you leave.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. The fee is taken in three parts: the first at admission, the second in Oct of year 1 and the biggest in May of year 2. If you need a loan, banks give education loans for this course, so apply early so the money comes before each date.
Do I have to stay in the hostel?▾
Yes. The PGDM is a residential course, and every student must live on campus. The good part is that every room is a single room with a balcony. The hostel room costs INR 75,000 and the mess INR 65,000 a year.
Which scholarships can I get here?▾
If your family income is up to INR 8 Lakhs a year, you can apply for the AICTE tuition fee waiver, which waives the full tuition fee of INR 12.33 Lakhs. North East students have their own freeship and scholarship, given by CAT percentile. You can hold only one of these, so use the calculator above to see your best one.
MDI Murshidabad maintains a strong faculty-to-student ratio with 10 permanent faculty members and visiting professors from renowned institutions like IIFT, XLRI, and MDI-G.
