What are the placement prospects for a NMP program from MDI 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?

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.

Should you pick PGDM HRM at MDI Gurgaon?

This course suits students who want a career in human resources and can study full time in Gurgaon for two years.

Pick it if:

You want an HR job in a big company: 157 firms came to the 2026 placements and hired for consulting, banking, FMCG and technology roles.

You want to work where the HR heads sit: the campus is in Gurgaon, the office hub of Delhi NCR, and most recruiters are a short drive away.

You want to pay the fee in parts: MDI takes it in three parts, INR 6 Lakhs on the offer and the rest in October and May.

You want the fee back fast: the average pay of INR 24.8 LPA is above the full fee of INR 22 Lakhs, so one working year covers it.

Skip it if:

You are counting on a top offer: the HR batch has 124 students, so the average of INR 24.8 LPA sits far below the highest offer.

You are paying the whole fee yourself: MDI has only two waivers, and both need a family income of INR 8 Lakhs a year or less.

You will apply only after the CAT result: the MDI form closes in Nov 2026, weeks before the score comes out.

You want to move to marketing or finance later: this diploma is HR only, and the other PGDM courses take their own admission.

Counsellor's advice

If you want an HR career and can pay the full fee, apply early and prepare hard for the WAT, GD and PI. If money is tight, ask about the AICTE waiver before you pay the first part.

In short

XLRI costs more and pays more on average, and it takes 180 students in HR. If both call you and you can pay, take XLRI for HR; if only MDI Gurgaon comes through, take it.

In short

TISS Mumbai costs far less and pays a little more, but it takes only 60 students. If your CAT score clears both, TISS Mumbai is the cheaper HR seat.

In short

IIM Ranchi costs less but pays less as well, and it is the only IIM with a full-time HR course. If cost decides, take IIM Ranchi; if pay decides, take MDI Gurgaon.

In short

SCMHRD Pune costs more and pays less, and it takes the SNAP score, not CAT. If both call you, MDI Gurgaon is the better value; keep SCMHRD Pune as the backup seat.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
