My college journey

Placement Experience:

The placements from the college take place in 2 parts. 1st is the summer internship placements for the students which starts from term 1 where the students are employed by companies to work on a project for 2 months with the college's average placement for 2019 batch being 2.35 lakhs rupees where 85 companies from various sectors such as BFSI, Consults, made offers in various roles such as product management, sales and marketing, investment banking, consulting etc. The students are required to join their summer internships from April ending in May where if they perform well they get a chance to get a pre-placement offer (PPO) from the company where the company gives them a final offer. MDI has a great history in getting PPO's where almost 40% of the batch receives PPO every year. Others get to sit for the final placements where MDI recorded a whopping average salary of 22 lakhs inviting roles from over 125 companies for the batch of 2018.

MDI Gurgaon: 2 Answered Questions

What is your review of Management Development Institute, Gurgaon?

Swati GuptaMBA from Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (Graduated 2011)

My review of the Management Development Institute, Gurgaon is fairly objective and is based on my sister's review of the same. I have written a detailed review with elaborate pros and cons that might clear most of your doubts.

Pros

Campus: The campus is in the vicinity of all the dynamic places in Gurgaon like a cyber hub, sec 29, and golf course road. However, inside the campus, the ambiance is exactly different and serene. The infrastructure and campus are extremely beautiful, lush green, and well-built to give you a fairly dreamy experience.

No reservation: Unlike other B Schools, MDI Gurgaon does not reserve seats for minorities or any other groups. So the entire batch is usually 98 percentilers ensuring you avail the best peer learning experience.

Clubs: MDI Gurgaon has the usual clubs as well as the extraordinary ones like Unnati and Illumina Illumina is a disguised market research event, wherein a Diwali mela is organized on the campus. Marketing companies give out projects for market research to students who then create games to do research. Unnati is a fund operated by the students of MDI. Alums and students invest in it.

Faculty: The faculty keeps changing or retiring but the most permanent faculty is Prof. Sanjay Bakshi, who also runs a company called Value Quest.

Placements: The placements are definitely not at or with IIM ABC but are at level with IIM IKL or FMS.

Exchange program: The exchange program is one of the best in the country as almost one-third of the batch gets to visit Europe and get amazing exposure.

Alumni: MDI has its alumni in top positions in the corporate world as well as the startup world. Some of them include Paperboat, Instamojo, Cashify, etc. Some of the alums are in top positions like Amit Boni, who is the head of Motorola India.

Cons

Weak alumni base: The alumni meets are just official meet-ups not many are interested to attend. Only the recent batches meet and no one is interested in strengthening the network.

There are not many flaws one can point to this great Institute as you can see how the pros overshadow the cons and make it a good choice.

Sashank Arorastudied MBA in Marketing & Operations at Management Development Institute, Gurgaon (2017)

Most of the people have suggested that overall all the three colleges are good and you will not be facing any problem if you take admission in any one of them. The NITIE College is good operations management, MDI is good for General management and Human resource management and IIFT is good for International trade. So, it depends upon you which branch you are interested in.

The overall reviews of these colleges are as follows:

MDI:

This college is fairly consistent in getting top 10 rankings.
There are various kinds of live projects in the college which will help you in understanding the working culture in the corporate industry. Some of this live project will also allow formulating business strategies.
You will be having access to great infrastructure such as Bloomberg terminal and EuroMonitor database.
Along with the vibrant campus you will also be getting right guidance from Professors like Prof Bakshi , Prof Chatterjee and Prof. Mitra who will help you in getting the right path.
You will also be getting great placement opportunities in various fields.

NITIE:

Operations management in this college is very good.
It is located in Mumbai and because of this location that will get lots of live projects in the industries.
The college also provides good placement in the field of supply chain management, operations management, etc.
This college also has a good alumni base. There is not much flexibility in the placements and the rest depends upon you.

IIFT Kolkata:

It is one of the greatest colleges with economics and trade as its pillars.
If you are looking for branches like international business and operations management then this is the best college.
There is a slight disadvantage between Kolkata and Delhi branches but the placements in both locations are similar.

The comparison table of MDI, NITIE, and IIFT Kolkata are as follows:

	MDI	NITIE	IIFT Kolkata
Placement percentage	100%	100%	100%
Highest Package	40.5 Lakhs	46.50 Lakhs	45.45 Lakhs
Average package	22.05 Lakhs	20.55 Lakhs	29.00 Lakhs

Overall IIFT-K is only good for trade and economics. For placements in finance, marketing and consulting roles MDI is a much better college than IIFT K and for operations management, NITIE is the best.
