Should you pick PGDM Business Analytics at MDI Gurgaon?
This course suits students who want an analytics job in a big company and can pay for a two-year residential course.
Pick it if:
You want an analytics job in a big company: Delhivery, Dolcera, Reckitt, RPG and Tata Play hired from this course last year.
You want to sit close to the companies: the campus is in Gurgaon, so guest lectures and live projects come from offices a short drive away.
You want a small class: the batch is 60, so the placement team works with a short list of students.
You want the fee back fast: at the average pay the full course fee comes back inside the first working year, as the ROI tile shows.
Skip it if:
You plan to apply only after the CAT result: the MDI form shuts before the result comes out, so a late start costs you the seat.
You want the cheapest good seat: the fee sits near the top of its league and you pay for a residential campus you cannot opt out of.
You are counting on a lower bar for your category: the closing percentile has stayed at 95 for four years and it is the same for every category.
You want to live off campus: the hostel room and the mess are charged to every student, so you pay for a room either way.
Counsellor's advice
If you have 95 percentile or more and want an analytics role, fill the MDI form while you wait for the result. If your Class 10 and 12 marks are weak, keep a second college ready.
PGDM Business Analytics Eligibility▾
Class 10 and 12 marks: 50% marks or the same CGPA in both, from any board.
Bachelor's degree: Three years or more, in any subject, with 50% marks or the same CGPA.
Exam needed: A valid CAT 2026 score. MDI reads your overall percentile, not one section alone.
Final year students: You can apply if you finish the degree before classes start in Jun 2027.
No test of its own: MDI holds no entrance exam for this course, so the CAT score is the only score it reads.
PGDM Business Analytics Admission Process▾
Write CAT 2026: The exam is on 29 Nov 2026 and the result is expected in Jan 2027.
Fill the MDI form: One online form with a fee of INR 3,000, and you pick this course in it.
Wait for the shortlist: MDI adds your school marks, work experience and diversity to the CAT score.
Attend WAT, GD and PI: You write a short analysis, join a group discussion and face an interview.
Take the seat: Pay the first part of the fee by the date in the offer letter or you lose the seat.

In short
If you want a bigger batch and a Delhi address, IMI New Delhi is the wider net. If you want a small analytics class, MDI Gurgaon keeps 60 students in the room.
In short
If money is the deciding line, Great Lakes costs much less and still placed its whole batch. If pay is the deciding line, MDI Gurgaon paid more last year.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on MDI Gurgaon PGDM Business Analytics
Short answers to what students ask before they apply.
How do I get into this course at MDI Gurgaon?▾
You need a valid CAT score. MDI shortlists on your CAT percentile, your school marks, your work experience and diversity. Shortlisted students write a short analysis, join a group discussion and face an interview. The final list comes about a month later.
What is the full fee for this course?▾
The full two-year fee is INR 22 Lakhs without hostel. With the hostel room and mess it comes to INR 26.28 Lakhs. The fee block above splits every head. The security deposit of INR 27,500 comes back when you leave.
What CAT percentile do I need?▾
The closing percentile was 95 in 2025 and it has stayed at 95 since 2022. MDI keeps the same bar for every category. The score checker above shows what each range means for your call.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. MDI took the last batch's fee in three payments across the two years, the first one with the offer letter. Ask the fee office in writing if you need smaller parts.
Is the hostel room compulsory?▾
The campus is residential and the fee sheet charges the hostel room and the mess to every student. That is why the toggle in the fee block adds INR 4.28 Lakhs over two years. Check the rule with the admission office before you plan to live outside.
Which scholarships can cut this fee?▾
Two MDI schemes cut the tuition fee. The AICTE tuition fee waiver takes off the whole tuition fee and the Merit cum Means scholarship takes off half of it. Both need a family income of INR 8 Lakhs a year or less. The calculator above shows your waiver and your net fee.
What is the pay after this course?▾
The 2025 batch of this course was paid an average of INR 22.75 LPA and the whole batch was placed. The top tenth averaged INR 35.82 Lakhs a year. Conglomerates, consulting and BFSI firms took the biggest share.
How many seats does this course have?▾
The course has 60 seats, so the class is small. A small class means fewer students share the same recruiter list on campus. MDI can add up to 5% more seats under the AICTE tuition fee waiver.
The college offers robust internship opportunities starting within the first month of enrollment, leading to many students receiving Pre-Placement Offers (PPOs). For those without PPOs, final placements begin in the 5th semester. The institution achieves a 100% placement rate, with diverse industries such as Sales, Marketing, Operations, Consulting, and Product hiring students. Esteemed companies like Mondelez, BCG, Accenture Strategy, JP Morgan, Dr. Reddy's, Deloitte, PwC, HDFC Bank, Barclays, Pepsico, and Nomura are frequent recruiters for internships.
Most roles are in Consulting, Marketing, and Finance. The total study cost is 24 Lakhs: 12 Lakhs for tuition and additional fees for hostel and student activities. No scholarships are available. The business analytics program shares placement processes with the PGDM program, facilitated by skilled staff. In the first year, students undertake minor projects that reflect industry practices.

What are the placement prospects for a NMP program from MDI Gurgaon?
Ashutosh AgarwalMBA from Management Development Institute, Gurgaon
The NMP program of MDI is a well-known program that was initiated in the year 1988. The program is best suitable for Young Managers. Coming to the placement part, most of the students choosing this program are sponsored by the company they were working at and hence have to join back their company once their program is completed.
The general placements are also decent with around 70% placement percentage. But placements depend mostly on the knowledge gained and implemented in your job. Your performance throughout the program determines your placement.
How do the new HR programs of IIM Ranchi, NMIMS, and XIMB measure up to the established ones of XLRI, TISS, MDI and SCMHRD?
Apoorv AshutoshFormer PhD Candidate at Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (2017–2020)
The simple answer to your question is no, the new HR programs of IIM Ranchi, NMIMS, or XIMB are not at par with the established ones XLRI, TISS, MDI, and SCMHRD. The established programs especially that of XLRI are the epitome of HR programs. They cannot be compared to the new ones at any given level or parameter.
Faculty: The professors of XLRI are renowned throughout the industry for their competency. They specialize in almost every domain one can think of be it Law, Competency Modeling, Compensation, or Performance Management.
Peers: It’s the cream students who get the opportunity to get into a prestigious college like XLRI. You can see tough competition between the finest students at college. Every individual has a valuable opinion and stands to contradict others. Their thinking pattern is broad and given a case study, they look at all angles from accounting to finance to laws while proposing the solution. The situation at TISS is also quite similar.
Now one can say that the curriculum can be replicated and learned faculty can be sought to match the quality of the HR program at these institutes. But the truth is faculty and curriculum are the main but not the only factors that determine an institute's worth. Its own culture, ethics, and background have a lot to do with the programs it offers.
So one cannot match XLRIs programs no matter how much they try.
