Due to Covid, MDI took PI online for the academic year 2021. There are usually two professors in the interview panel. 

The interview starts with an introduction. There will be questions based on your past academics and work experience. You can also expect general questions like - 

  • What is your CAT percentile? 
  • Was this the first time you took CAT, if not what was your percentile in previous attempts?
  • What other calls do you have?
  • What are your hobbies?

There will be questions regarding current affairs and news as well. So, keep yourself updated about the current happenings around the world.

For GEM, the CAT percentiles required to get an interview call from IIM Blackis, FMS, SP Jain, JBIMS, and MDI Gurgaon are 

  • ABC and FMS: Both institutes required nothing less than 99.5. Those who get admission at a lesser percentile, usually don’t belong to the GEM category. There are many who don’t even get a call with 99.3. So to stay on the safer side, go for nothing less than 99.5.
  • IIM Indore and Kozhikode: Both the institutes require percentiles around 97.5 for an interview call
  • SPJIMR: This Institute has unique selection criteria under which CAT is given less value and calls are issued on the basis of the candidate's profile. The CAT percentile required in this case is less than the normal if you have a good academic profile along with work experience,
  • MDI: This institute issues calls around the 96% mark.

It’s important to know that these figures are based on trends and not on actual data so you will find exceptions everywhere. Moreover, it’s better you don’t waste time analyzing the CAT cutoff and start preparing for the same.

Among these, NITIE Mumbai is the best institute for an MBA. It is considered the Mecca of Operations and SCM. The Ops and SCM job profiles offered at NITIE Mumbai placements are even better than the ones offered from these sectors at IIM ABCL. The final placement record for 2022 showed the average CTC is INR 24.51 LPA. Highest CTC offered this year was INR 49 LPA.  

Locational benefits, a huge alumni base, and a stellar placement record are some of the other factors that work in favor of NITIE.

Should I go for MDI Gurgaon or IIM Indore?

Determine what you want to learn in the two years you will spend at either of these colleges. Both colleges have very different offerings. Choose the one that provides you with more flexibility, a wider range of people to interact with and learn from, and opportunities to pursue your interests. These things will be more important in the long run because, after a few years, people will not judge you based on your alma mater, but vice versa.

Inquire about alumni interaction and entrepreneurship support. Even if you never want to be an entrepreneur, such networks can help you complete tasks that would otherwise take months. It is up to you to select the best college for yourself.

Well, these two institutes cannot be positioned to compare with each other. However, the only benefit seen in the case of IIM Indore is that it will assist in accessing the alumni network of PAN India. This does not apply to MDI Gurgaon students. This is beneficial for the students who want to start their individual businesses and switch jobs to a higher profile in later days.

Rather, it is difficult enough to comments on the faculties, placements, and other facilities. Following is a brief overview of these two institutes considering the placement statistics.

The campus life at IIM Indore is awesome and the infrastructure is unparalleled. The institute has great competition and diversity. You will develop a good analytical and broader viewpoint. One of my friends opted for IIM Indore and he was happy with his decision.

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:

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.

It will be difficult to get into colleges such as FMS, XLRI, and MDI with less than 60% in 12th. But it’s achievable. FMS assigns 10% weight to 10+2 scores. So, if you manage to score around the 99.5 percentile in CAT, you will have a chance of getting shortlisted. You need to perform well in the GD-PI round as well. XLRI and MDI assign 15% weight to past academics and work experience. 

So, try to work on your profile by adding extra-curricular activities. Also, prepare well for entrance tests and the GD-PI round.

The question of ragging in colleges, particularly in reputed institutions like IIM, XLRI, and MDI, is often depicted in a negative light in films and media. However, in reality, the situation is not as dire as it is portrayed. While it may be true that ragging is more prevalent in lower-ranked colleges, reputed institutions have strict policies and regulations in place to prevent such behavior.

Reputed colleges are known for their rigorous curriculum and strict deadlines, leaving little time for students to engage in extracurricular activities. In the first few weeks, the workload may not seem as intense, but as the course progresses, students will find themselves with very little free time to interact with their peers. Some colleges even schedule classes in the evening, making it even more challenging to balance academics and social life.

The rigorous academic environment in these institutions is intended to prepare students for the stress and pressures of the workplace. Assignments are often given with strict deadlines, which may sometimes be at odd hours, and the workload is high throughout the program. This means that seniors may not have enough time to interact with junior students.

In summary, it is important to approach the topic of ragging with a realistic understanding. While it may occur in some form, it is unlikely to be as severe as it is often portrayed in films and media. Rest assured that prestigious institutes have strict policies in place to prevent such behavior and neither students nor the institutions want to take unnecessary risks. It is also important to keep in mind that seniors can be valuable resources in both academic and professional life.

It shouldn't be a big deal. They are both in the same league. Working hard will get you a great job no matter which campus you attend. If you do not work hard, you will end up in an average job regardless of the campus you attend. So make a decision, stick to it, and put in the effort.

MDI Gurgaon has a long history of successful placements as compared to IIM Kozhikode. The final report of the 2022 placement drive was officially released by MDI Gurgaon recently. The average salary increased by 12.57%, according to the report. The average salary for the top 50% was INR 32.2 LPA. The highest salary offered was INR 1.14 CPA, which increased by approximately 159% over the previous year. The median annual salary was INR 23.50.
