MDI Gurgaon: 13 Answered Questions

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?

Pratham Kumar Gautam
Prathmessh TodkarWorked at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad

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.

Can I be converted into MDI Gurgaon with 95 percentile in CAT 95 percentages in 10th and 12th and 80 in B Tech with an average GDPI round?

Harleen SethiMBA from Indian Institute of Management Sambalpur (Graduated 2020)

To start with, around 2,00,000 candidates appeared for the CAT exam. This means that for every percentile, there are about 2000 people.

Now, let's say that your percentile is 95, which implies that the 5 percentile is more than yours. In other words, approximately 10000 candidates have scored better than you in the CAT exam.

Suppose that 2000 candidates did not apply for MDI, which leaves us with 8000 candidates. Looking at your good scores in 10th, 12th, and graduation, you are better than at least 4000 candidates out of the remaining 8000.

So, the number of candidates left now is 4000. In comparison, IIMs and private/government colleges like SP Jain, FMS, etc., there are around 1500 and 1000 seats available, respectively, in the general category, taking BLACKIS seats into consideration.

Assuming that they all choose colleges other than MDI, the probable candidates left for MDI with profiles better than yours would be 4000-(1500+1000) = 1500. Now, the number of seats available in MDI is approximately 350.

Considering the average GDPI, the probability of your selection in MDI would be 350/1500 = .23333. So, you have a 23.3% chance of getting selected for MDI.

What is the admission process and eligibility for the MDI Gurgaon?

Dishant VermaIIMA Alumnus

To get admission into Management Development Institute (MDI), the first step is to take the Common Admission Test (CAT) exam. You are eligible to write CAT if you have a recognized bachelor's degree (or professional degree like CA, CS, or ICWA) and have scored an aggregate of 50% (45% for SC/ST and PWD students). Even students in their final year of a bachelor's degree can write the CAT exam.

The admission process at MDI consists of two stages. In the first stage, candidates are shortlisted for interviews based on their CAT score. In the second stage, a Personal Interview (PI) is conducted, and the final selection list is made based on the CAT percentile, Personal Interview, and Application score, which includes X, XII, Academic Diversity, Gender Diversity, and Work Experience.

The weightage for the CAT score in the final selection is 55%, which means a good CAT score boosts the chances of getting selected for the MBA program at MDI. To help you prepare for CAT, MDI offers free resources that can help you understand their pedagogy better, such as three free CAT mocks, one test on each topic (VARC, DILR, Quant) every day, the formula PDFs for all Quant topics for CAT, around 25 solved previous papers of CAT, and a CAT Percentile Predictor.

If you are aspiring to get into MDI, it is important to score well in CAT and prepare well for the Personal Interview.

The institute runs over 100 specifically designed executive development programs each year for top-level, middle-level, and senior-level managers of different organizations.

What kind of profile is needed to get into FMS Delhi and MDI Gurgaon?

Girish Singh
Darshika TondonAdmission consultant in Pune. (2011–present)

Actually, there is no such thing as academic weightage in FMS, but MDI gives academics weightage. To get a call from MDI, you must score higher than 98.2x for FMS and 95.5x percentile.

FMS is part of Delhi University, and its tuition is significantly lower than that of MDI. FMS fees are around 20-21k, whereas MDI fees are around 28 lakhs, which is much higher than FMS. FMS and MDI both give sectional cutoff weightage. If your academics are strong, it will benefit MDI, but FMS does not give academics weightage.GDPI considers extracurricular activities, work experience, and any other achievement.

Is it better to join NMP at MDI Gurgaon or continue with your double figures salary package?

Ankita Debnath
Devi Prasad BiswalLived in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India (2011–2014)

MDI EMBA is definitely a good choice if you want to pursue EMBA for

  • Acquiring knowledge
  • To start your own business 
  • If you are joining the course on a sabbatical 

But if you are here just for placement within India, then go for ISB only.

It’s sad to admit that even today Indian Corporates haven’t understood the importance of EMBA as most companies prefer MBA graduates only. They specifically enquire if their MBA program was a 2-year program or a regular MBA.

But ISB’s 1-year executive Management Course along with ISB brand name has been deemed equal in importance by the Indian Corporates to a full-time 2 year MBA. This is despite the fact that many students of the regular MBA program have 3-5 years of experience which is not uncommon even amongst many of the 2-year MBA programme students. EMBA from any other Institute is considered as candidates with a lot of experience which is not true in all the cases.

How much percentile is required for admission in MDI, JBIMS or FMS?

Anisha MukhijaStudied at Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies

My answer does mention the required percentile for each of the B Schools you mentioned. But before I proceed I would like to shed light on the fact that the CAT percentile is not the only factor that determines your admission into a B School. There are other factors you need to work on like academic background, work experience, and GD-PI.

MDI

The college offers PGDM admissions on the basis of CAT and GMAT scores. The expected CAT percentile is around 93-95 and the GMAT score is 680+.

Apart from this, the candidates are expected to have above average academic records, work experience and WAT.

JBIMS 

The institute accepts CAT, MH-CET, and GMAT. The percentile cutoff for the General Category 

CAT: 95

MH-CET: 99.97

GMAT is accepted only for NRIs.

FMS Delhi

This institute is well known for its extremely low fees and the null weightage given to past academics. Thus admissions are based on the CAT percentile for which the cutoff is very high and GD-PI. The CAT percentile can be around 98.3

It is important to note that CAT should not be the only factor to consider while preparing for admission. Interview and GD rounds should also be given equal importance in addition to work experience.

I am from Delhi. I am earning 7 LPA from a reputed company in Bangalore. Will it be a good decision to drop the job for an MBA from MDI Gurgaon? Why?

Deepal SharmaMBA in Marketing & Finance, Management Development Institute, Gurgaon (Graduated 2018)

I will highly recommend you to go for MDI Gurgaon as the opportunities that will open up to you are vast. You will get to explore an altogether different world. The main reasons why one should take MDI Gurgaon are

  • If you stay at your current job and consider the raise you will get in 2 years, your salary will be 10-12 LPA in 2 years whereas after MBA your salary will start from at least 14 LPA which is a major difference.
  • Working at your current company will leave you with the tag of a normal engineer whereas the MBA tag will be a game changer in your career.
  • The experience at MDI itself will enable you to learn so many things and lead to overall personality development which will not be possible if you continue with your current job.

So joining MDI for an MBA is definitely a good choice.

Can someone brief me with the profiles (academics/cat percentile/work ex) of the people that made it into MDI Gurgaon?

Avi GuptaStudied at Management Development Institute, Gurgaon

There is no specific profile that is able to make it into MDI Gurgaon. Some are able to make it into MDI even with the 94 percentile and some are not able to get even with the 98 percentile. It’s the personal interview and GD round that comes into play here. The ones with lower percentiles usually have exceptionally good communication skills. The ones that make it into MDI with high percentile usually have decent work experience and profile. 

But for MBA-IM there are many with mid-94–95 percentiles and decent profiles.

The conclusion is that you either need

  • High CAT score

Or

  • Excellent profile

Or

  • A very good GDPI score 

A rich blend of the three increases your chances of getting into MDI Gurgaon drastically.
