Expect teachers, everything is good.

Placements: Internship is included in the college syllabus. Companies like Reliance Industries, and Pepsi Co., key learning offers summer internships. PWC, Deloitte, TCS, Morgan Stanley, and S&P Global, these companies offer full-time jobs. The average package is 4-5 lacs, the highest is 18 lacs and the lowest is 3 lacs. The placement percentage is 60-70%, and many different roles are offered, most of them for associates.

Infrastructure: The campus is situated in the industrial hub Gurgaon. The College building looks like a monument. On special occasions, it is decorated with lighting. The institute has all modern facilities including Wi-Fi service, labs are clean and maintained. I like the library it is a very quiet place, we can take books and study in the reading room. Yes college has hostel facility but I lived in PG which is near to college. I have some bad reviews about the college food, it is not eatable. First aid kits, and fire extinguishers are everywhere in college for safety.

Faculty: I do not like the teachers here, they are arrogant, strict, self-obsessed, and support their favourite students. Teachers do not come on time and do not follow the lecture schedule. They explain concepts using PPT and cover the syllabus that's it. The course syllabus is good it covers all aspects of management. It fully transforms students. It developed communication, appearance, behaviour, and personality. The semester has many exams and they are end term, mid sem, class tests, viva, moral, and practical exams. But anyone with a good understanding can easily pass exams.

Other: I recommend this college and course this is one of the best colleges offering this course.

Faculty: Teachers are good. They help you, and they don't even be absent like the other colleges. You can come to their cabins to clear up your doubts and stuff. Teachers are kind of strict about attendance, but in the system, you can't blame them. Like us, they too have to punch their entry in time. Semester exams are about average; they are neither too difficult nor too easy. And you don't have to get a year back if you fail in 3 subjects or get less than a 3 SGPA; you have to enroll in the summer semester or go for the back exam.

Rounds

Commonly asked questions
On Cutoffs

Q: What is the cutoff rank required for admission at MDI Gurgaon MBA course?

Considering the MDI Gurgaon PGDM past cutoff trend, candidates with a CAT percentile between 93 and 95 shall have a fair chance of selection. This is an assumption and hence may vary. It must be noted that the cutoff can vary from one PGDM course to another. Moreover, the cutoff marks are announced category-wise. Candidates are called for the interview round and the seat allotment is carried out as per the cutoff and their category.

Q: What is the expected cutoff for various courses in MDI Gurgaon for 2024 admissions?

MDI Gurgaon cutoff 2024 is yet to be released for admission to its PGDM courses. The cutoff will be released based on CAT 2024 entrance exam, WAT, GD, and PI scores. Over the last three years, MDI Gurgaon CAT cutoff 2024 stood at 97 for the PGDM in International Business + Master in Management (MIM) course for the General AI quota. So, considering the previous year's trends, candidates seeking admission to MDI must aim to secure between 97 and 99 percentiles to improve their chances of getting into MDI Gurgaon.

Q: What percentile should I score in CAT exam to get MDI Gurgaon under defence quota?

Going by my own experience and of others who have a similar profile as yours, you can expect a call from MDI at about 96.5 -97 percentile. A few people from my batch had received calls at a lower percentile as well but that again varies from year to year. So all in all, 97 percentile would be a safe bet.
