What is better, MDI for PGP-IM or IIM Ranchi?
Deciding which college to attend for an MBA can be a difficult decision due to the high cost of tuition and the potential impact on future career prospects. MDI PGP-IM is a specialized program, while IIM Ranchi's PGDM program is a general management program with the option to choose a specialization in the second year. This may limit the scope of the MDI program. Additionally, the PGP-IM program at MDI requires 3 years of work experience, while IIM Ranchi does not have this requirement. While MDI may have the advantage of a strong brand name and proximity to the business hub in Delhi NCR, it is important to consider how much value this adds to the PGP-IM program.
IIM Ranchi has its own set of limitations, such as a temporary campus, but the institute has a strong reputation and a history of good placements. The hostels at IIM Ranchi are also some of the best in the country, offering individual rooms rather than shared accommodations. It is worth noting that some students do transfer from MDI PGP-IM to IIM Ranchi, although it is less common for students to go in the opposite direction. Ultimately, the best college for you will depend on your individual preferences and priorities.
Do PGP-IM graduates from MDI Gurgaon get internships and jobs in Europe like other graduates of ESCP? Is there any sort of differentiation?
Yes, students who take the MDI Gurgaon PGP-IM program and go to Europe for an exchange program are offered jobs and internships. There is no major distinction between the jobs offered to MDI students and the jobs offered to ESCP students. But the only discrimination they might come across is the lack of language proficiency which is a major factor for jobs. I have listed down some tips you can adopt to help in this regard
- Master at least one European language to the entrant so that you can demonstrate a smooth flow of conversation with your colleagues.
- Interact with alumni and professors consistently to let them know of your career prospects and be wary of the opportunities they are offering or suggesting.
- Try to maintain excellent grades throughout your program. This will make your chances of getting a job easier.
- Apply to all companies possible because European countries scrutinize all applications
- The consultancy projects are a stepping stone to success so make sure you give your level best. These projects are a part of the curriculum and will help you demonstrate your capabilities thereby improving your chances of getting job offers or letters of recommendation through it.
So yes, as an Indian you will face slight disadvantages over the locals at the European university but these challenges can be handled well to make your way.
