See what Vanmit Kataria from MDI Gurgaon has to say about Course & Curriculum in MDI Gurgaon.
In her words, “I think the course curriculum at MDI is quite extensive and useful, although a lot of emphasis on grades are not given. But a lot of knowledge is imparted, and that is something that helps in getting the practical knowledge instead of just theoretical. MDI has some really good courses, and some of the faculty are also fun and very knowledgeable. The classes are of 1.5 hours, and the duration of exams depends upon different subjects, same does the difficulty level of the exam. One thing that can be improved is that the timing of classes should be reduced a little so as not to distract students. Because a 1.5-hour attention span is difficult.” Read More

This means that applicants are expected to secure a minimum of 95 percentile in the CAT exam to be shortlisted for the selection process. However, meeting the cutoff alone does not guarantee admission, as MDI also considers sectional cutoffs, academic performance, work experience, and performance in the Written Ability Test (WAT), Group Discussion (GD), and Personal Interview (PI). Generally, candidates with a percentile above 95 have a higher chance of receiving a call from MDI Gurgaon for its flagship PGDM programs.

Ans. Yes, MDI Gurgaon gives importance to gender diversity in its admission process. Female candidates get an extra 2.5% weightage during the final selection. Apart from this, the institute also gives value to academic diversity (students from different study backgrounds), regional diversity (candidates from different parts of the country), and sports or extracurricular achievements. These factors, along with CAT/GMAT scores, past academics, work experience, and performance in WAT-GD-PI, are considered while making the final selection.

Ans. The application fee for MDI Gurgaon is INR 3,000, including GST, for most PGDM programs. There is a single, unified application form for all the PGDM programs offered at both MDI Gurgaon and MDI Murshidabad.

Ques. Is MDI Gurgaon better than IIFT Delhi?

Ans. Both MDI Gurgaon and IIFT Delhi are top B-schools, but their strengths differ.

  • MDI Gurgaon: Known for its flagship MBA/PGDM program, it has strong placements in consulting, marketing, HR, and general management. In 2025, the average package was INR 25.6 LPA, with the highest at INR 54 LPA. The CAT cutoff is around 95 percentile, and the campus is 35 acres.

For finance, trade, or international business, IIFT Delhi is a better choice. For consulting, marketing, HR, and diverse general management roles, MDI Gurgaon has an edge.

Indian Institute of Management: Which one should I choose between IIFT, Delhi and MDI, Gurgaon??

Akriti Banerjeelives in New Delhi

Some reasons why you can consider IIFT over MDI are: 

  1. Finance: IIFT is one of the few institutes in which most of the students go for finance as a major. Almost 50% of the batch are Finance majors. The campus is visited by Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and Axis Bank which recruit in large numbers, to name a few.
  2. Batch size: The small batch size at IIFT Delhi makes it a more probable choice than MDI Gurgaon. Comparing the placement reports one may infer that the statistics are almost similar except for IIFT having a slight advantage due to its stronger alumni base. 
  3. Alumni base: For the last 59 years, IIFT Delhi has established a far richer and more established alumni network than MDI Gurgaon in comparison.
  4. Accreditation: IIFT is under the Ministry of Commerce, Govt. of India which also audits its placement reports.
  5. Entrepreneurship: As with other B-schools, IIFT promotes entrepreneurship among its students by teaching them about trades in addition to the standard course curriculum.

Many people I know chose IIFT over MDI Gurgaon and many did the opposite as well, after doing healthy research and a comparison of the two.
