- MDI Gurgaon is in the same league as XLRI, IIFT, IIM, KIL, SPJIMR, and GLIM come in the league TAPMI, FORE, GIM, and others.
- If you don't want to spend a lot of money but still want a brand name on your resume, IIT Madras is the way to go. However, if money isn't an issue, then you should go for MDI.
Don't think about GL as the ROI isn't good in any case.
