Is NMIMS Bangalore or MDI Murshidabad better for Marketing PGDM?
No way MDI Murshidabad is better than NMIMS, although the Murshidabad campus is a subsidiary of MDI Gurgaon campus, NMIMS is better for marketing courses.
The median salary for NMIMS is more than MDI Murshidabad, the batch intake of NMIMS is also more than MDI, and NMIMS has better faculties than MDI. The campus and cultural life of NMIMS is better as it is a well-established institute, so you could opt for NM.
Is it better to join NMP at MDI Gurgaon or continue with your double figures salary package?
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.
