PGPM from Management Development Institute, Gurgaon (2017)

MDI Gurgaon charges a total fee of around INR 16 lakhs for PGP programmes in different specializations, which seems to be an exorbitant amount. But once, you start understanding the math of return on investment, this fee seems reasonable. MDI is one such institute which gets leverage through its industry-connect. They focus a lot on developing new connections within diverse sectors of the industry and it results in phenomenal placement outcomes.

Placements – The average CTC for 2017-19 batch of MDI was around INR 22 LPA and this number is increasing every year. Nearly 239 students from MDI PGDM participated in the recruitment drive, which remains the largest batch of the students. Furthermore, industry recognition of MDI is no less than IIMs and its placement stats are pretty lucrative.
ROI(Return on Investment) – Now considering ROI math, suppose you get a job through MDI placements, with a package nearly INR 20 LPA, your fee investment was merely 16 lakhs, and even after making your savings, you will be able to recover your investment in a year.

Thus, keeping all of the above factors in mind we can say that the fees of MDI, even though a hefty one is worth it.
