MDI Gurgaon’s PGP-IM Program is one of the most coveted Management courses of the institute. It has several features that distinguish it from other regular PGP courses offered at top B Schools. My brother opted for this course out of many and he listed the following reasons that compelled him to go for the program
It’s the above points that strongly assert the worth of the IM program at MDI Gurgaon. As it’s graduate you are not only an MDI alumnus but also an ESCP alumnus. You can use both brand names to your advantage. Choosing MDI is like investing for 2 years for a benefit of 30-35 years. So the brand name and alumni base definitely matter more than just a random IIM tag.
Earlier there was a major difference in the placement scenario of both the courses and institutes. For the IM course, one had to study at a foreign business school, with which MDI has a tie-up during the second year, and manage your internship on your own. Moreover, they let you sit for the final placements only.
On the other hand, at IIM you can avail of the summer placements, and PPO and then even sit for final placements.
Fortunately now, the PGPIM is a 2-year residential course at MDI Gurgaon campus only, with summer and final placements happening along with the PGP students. Through this, it has overcome its shortcomings of average final placements and is a much better option than IIM Trichy.
