Hi seniors.. I converted PGPIM in the list that was declared a few days back. I went through the entire thread and still ended up with the following questions which were perhaps not covered anywhere in the thread.

1. Till how long does the Visa allow us to stay in Paris / Turin / Berlin and look for jobs after our course is over?
2. When are we awarded our MBA degree? I mean what is the minimum number of months of internship compulsory for us to be awarded our degree? Are the names of both ESCP and MDI mentioned on the degree?
3. Is the PGPIM course AICTE approved?
4. Is it confirmed that the London campus has been officially closed from our batch onwards?
5. What is the average internship stipend earned in Europe?
@Swagato, you mentioned that a number of your batchmates are undergoing unpaid internships. Could you place a number at that?
6. Is it possible that we come back to MDI for the regular placements in between our internship, pick up a job and then go back to Europe and complete our internship and also look for our job there, keeping the Indian job in hand as a backup?

I sincerely want to know the answers to the above questions and if any of the questions posted above offend someone, it is purely unintentional.

1. Till how long does the Visa allow us to stay in Paris / Turin / Berlin and look for jobs after our course is over?

u can stay in europe till 31st december 2010 extend able to 31st december 2011.

2. When are we awarded our MBA degree? I mean what is the minimum number of months of internship compulsory for us to be awarded our degree?
Are the names of both ESCP and MDI mentioned on the degree?

3 months. u get separate degrees. refer brochure.


3. Is the PGPIM course AICTE approved?

yes

4. Is it confirmed that the London campus has been officially closed from our batch onwards?

yes, when i last checked.

5. What is the average internship stipend earned in Europe?

1000 euros a month.

@Swagato, you mentioned that a number of your batchmates are undergoing unpaid internships. Could you place a number at that?

0. i said they are easily available. No one has accepted one yet and i dont think anyone will.

6. Is it possible that we come back to MDI for the regular placements in between our internship, pick up a job and then go back to Europe and complete our internship and also look for our job there, keeping the Indian job in hand as a backup?

yup! thats the best option we have.

If you defer your MEB degree of ESCP by 1 year. Then you will pass out of MDI in march 2011 and from ESCP in march 2012. That is how you can do your internship till june 2011 and return to india to your job afterwards.

hi puys...i was actually calculating the fees.....for PGIM guys total fees is coming out to be 13 lakh approx while for PGPM guys its 10.9 lakhs....so does that mean that MDI has reduced its fees for PGPM only?? Also, if you look at the installements then 4 PGPM, installments have spread till 2010 November...while for PGPIM...entire fees is to paid till 2009 December....ny reason 4 such discrepancy???

[swagato]

Reason is that you will be finishing your classes in MDI in February 2010. So they take the entire fees from you before you leave. PGPM will be in MDI till Feb 2011. They have time.

And fees of PGIM has always been more than PGPM. That is because either ours is a better program or we have greater opportunities than them. MDI has not reduced any fees.
