MDI Gurgaon & Emlyon Business School, France to offer Twinning/Dual Degree Programme
The arrangement means that, beginning with the 2025-27 cohort, PGDM-IB students can complete part of their studies in France and graduate with both institutions’ degrees.
Management Development Institute Gurgaon (MDI Gurgaon) has received approval from AICTE to include Emlyon Business School, France, as a new partner for its PGDM-IB program. This addition complements its longstanding partnership with ESCP Business School, which has been associated with the program for several years.
MDI Gurgaon signed an agreement with Emlyon Business School, France, that will give students of the Post Graduate Diploma in Management—International Business (PGDM-IB) programme a second credential: the Master in Management (MiM) / Programme Grande École awarded by Emlyon Business School.
The arrangement means that, beginning with the 2025-27 cohort, PGDM-IB students can complete part of their studies in France and graduate with both institutions’ degrees. Emlyon’s MiM is currently ranked 8th worldwide by Financial Times, and the school is among the few business schools holding the “triple crown” of EQUIS, AACSB, and AMBA accreditations.
“Our students increasingly look for genuinely global learning paths,” said Professor Jyotsna, Bhatnagar, Dean Graduate Programs, MDI Gurgaon. “This partnership extends the international network we have built over three decades and gives our PGDM-IB students the chance to experience a second academic culture while earning an additional, highly respected degree.”
Isabelle Huault, Dean and President of the Executive Board Emlyon Business School, added: “This agreement between emlyon and MDI Gurgaon reflects on the convergence of minds and vision of the two institutions, and we aim to deepen this partnership in the realm of further academic and research collaboration(s)."
This new collaboration deepens MDI Gurgaon’s global portfolio, which already features a long-standing dual-degree pathway with ESCP Business School. The Institute says it remains committed to that relationship while seeking fresh routes for students who aspire to international careers.
