Remarks :
MDI was probably 2nd or 3rd on my list. Just because I wanted to pursue international business. Apart from IIFT, MDI offers the best program in international business that you actually get to experience like foreign university ESCP Europe and basically pursuing the dual degree program. So, that is the reason why I choose MDI.
Course Curriculum Overview :
So, basically in the first year, you get to learn all the core courses apart from HR since my course doesn't involve HR. So, I won't be studying HR as a core subject. Apart from that the basis that I did was strategy, management, fundamentals of finance, statistics, financial accounting, micro & macroeconomics, operations management. And the teacher I really like Shailendra sir. His type of teaching is unique. There is a lot of assignments and all. You basically get hands-on experience on how you would perform in a company. He gives us real-life cases. Apart from him, we have Manoj sir for operation. He has a pretty unique way of teaching. He has a lot of information which you can't basically gather in a one & half hour class. Apart from this, in the specialization course, you get to choose which sort of specialization you want. Mine is business counseling that is in the fall semester of ESCP. It is heavily on case studies. Basically, you have in-class learning, you have class participation, you have the cases that you need to solve in a group. Apart from that, you have written examinations. It is a lot of quiz-heavy examinations are there. These 3-4 modules are there where a student is basically tested if they are performing well or not.
Internships Opportunities :
This year, MDI has been able to close its summer internship for probably two days. In terms of the states of last year which is basically publish in the report, we have had a medium stipend of 2 lakhs and the highest stipend of 3 lakhs. This year we also had a full summer internship for two days.
Placement Experience :
In terms of final placement, according to last year's report, we have had a medium salary package of 22 lakh. This year I don't exactly know how the scenario is but still, we are getting a lot of PPOs.
Fee Structure And Facilities :
In terms of fee structure, MDI offers 3 core programs. The first is PGPM, the second is HR and the third is IB. So, for PGPM and HR the fees are around 19-20 lakh and for IB it's around 25 lakh. There is no scholarship for the IB program but I think PGPM is the scholarship around is nearly 50000.
Campus Life :
Clearly, offline campus life is very challenging. We use a lot of Zoom calls, google meets. So, that is how we interact in a group. Apart from that, in terms of the fest, we have had a lot of fests basically fun activities that we have done. We had played a lot of games together, we have had panel discussions online. Apart from that, we had hosted concerts. There is a lot of committees. The primary committee which basically organizes a lot of fests is Delphique. Delphique, Impulse, Monetrix all of these clubs are basically organize a lot of fests.
Admission :
To take admission in MDI, you need to write CAT and the guidelines are there for CAT examination. I clear CAT 2019 to get admission in MDI. So, the percentile I obtained is 96. There was no sectional cut-off. My all my section was 90+. And post that normally has a GD, PI, and WAT. But this year due to Covid, we only had the video call in order to get an admission that was a personal interview. In terms of GD, it most similar to the current affairs that are happening. At my time it was a daily election that the topic I had faced. Apart from that, we had a lot of Covid related issues and topics that we had. It fully depends on how you are reading the news, how you are consuming the news, if your facts are write or not In terms of the interview process, the first question will be to tell me about yourself, and from that point on you get to drag the interview. It fully depends on you how you drag the interview. They will give you each & every single chance to best present yourself, best present your background.
